ok, I'm going to supply a definition of drifting since you are still stuck on "maximum angle while baking the tires".... "A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction of the turn." And actually during qualifying, time attack, etc. you do see alot more swinging the rear... and drivers put alot more strain on the tires... now on time attacks like Tsukuba circuit where they are using full racing slicks that grip the road like gum on a wall, it makes it pretty difficult to drift and using harder tires just to be able to drift the corners that you actually could drift faster would be unpracticle because you would be slower in the others... I never said its always faster to drift... and I only stated that I heard somewhere that ultimately it could be faster, through physics... we all know that some corners are faster to drift, some are faster to grip, and there are so many variables that determine which are which...Originally Posted by simontibbett
