The biggest mistakes that new drifters make are upgrading without knowing how to use what they got.
Can't slide, needs moar powah. And now they can't control it.
Learn to use all you've got to the fullest before upgrading.
This is an issue I see a lot when trying to teach at the tracks out here.

It works most of the time lol.

My question is: How much does the entry line and style change when switching to a welded diff?
In my personal opinion, when I get into a car with an open diff vs a locked diff, my line changes almost opposite positions as open diff is more difficult to drift longer corners. That is just my opinion however.
