My vote is yes. If some people want it, a new car is always a great add to the game.

If you don´t want to use it, just don't use it. Simple as that.

Quote from joen :

On tarmac especially a racer also has to take tyre wear into account. So because of that drifting around the corner is hardly used in circuit racing. Rally is a different story though.

yes. as i also said drift is no help on long races.

i was looking for some info and this is what i can say from what i've learned:
-a well performed drift is faster on sharp turns or turns that require heavy braking.
-on the rest grip takes advantage
-by obvious reasons drift doesn't help on long races

so a good racer should know both grip driving and drift

Quote from chanoman315 :

Its hard because, if you are first of a very long race, or you are beating your pb by long, you maybe get nervous, and you make all the mistakes in the last corner, happened to me

same here

Quote from evilpimp :

Well the point of a drift battle is style off course but if you overtake thats an automatic win. So the point can still be to arrive first at the finish line but under DRIFT conditions as they say in wikipedia and if you make a pass in grip conditions the pass doesnt count.

Drifting has nothing to do with racing really but why do people hate drifters so much :S Its fun drifting and more of a thrill racing so if u feel like having some intense racing go race and if you just want to relax go drift or drifting can be intense aswell if its a drift battle.

Now the topic is a drift AI... That's pointless....
Give him a set up and he'll start sliding but why twin drift with an AI
Go to a drift server and twin or battle people there for fun.

i reply the same

Quote from Kirill.D :

U sucky drifters go play NFS or something... drift is just an excuse when you want, but dont know how to race... Learn racing and then you dont need drifting AI.

i think you should edit your post...i believe there's no reason to insult others.

edit: everyone has is preferred driving style. some are faster with grip driving and others with drift.

Yes, but racing is racing but it is still classed as a motorsport.

They still shouldn't put a drifting A.I in though, this is a racing sim not a drifting sim, lfs could release just a drifting version in the future but that could kill some members of lfs, people in lfs should stick to racing, drifting is ok now and again for a bit of fun but when it comes down to it racing is the better motorsport.

yes, but you should remember everyone does what they like.
personally i prefer drifting in lfs because it's more exciting, even if i'm not faster.

about that racing is better, again, everyone has different tastes. you prefer racing but i prefer drifting, and so on.

about the drifting a.i., when i drift, i prefer training alone, but it would be nice to have the a.i. drifting, if someone thinks it's a great add for the game.

i found this, and i think will help.

Is drifting a corner faster than grip (normal) driving?

Quote from Gabkicks :

I drift too, but "you" guys are embarrassing us drifters lol. everyone here is already so prejudice, and then "people" make threads on things that have been discussed hundreds of times... and say things that make "them" seem... special

ignorant, people that watch initial d and formula drift and think they understand motorsport.

initial d? try tokyo drift. those noobs watch the movie and then try to drift on every corner they pass.

I like to drift too, but i know drifting is not a racing type, it's a racing technique, can be used to corner faster, specially by braking more lately (i think).
btw yesterday i passed a XR Turbo with my XR GT by drifting , but i was passed again the next moment. I still have to learn to maintain speed on drifts
