I think good if will be Drifting tracks and tires because we have lot of drifters and they want something More in LFs !

Been suggested before....

+1 from me though...

Quote from dev :

not only once

i have nothing against drifting, i drift too sometimes but i dont think such stuff will come...
LFS is meant to be a race sim, and drifting isnt really racing

here is an interesting video.

not a racing but drift racing , I think realy need tyres.. tracks can be !

:uglyhamme

Drifters don't use special tyres IRL IIRC - and we don't need drifting tracks to appease the dorifto Dale Winton brigade.

Haven't you seen those moronic red smoke tires before Duke? :P

-1. I'd rather see the time invested on racing related things.

BTW, Duke... I love that avatar. heh heh

domokun never gets old

ok, before racers will rush in and start bashing you I as drifter will do it first
1) Tracks - YES please! more tracks, but not specificly drifting ones.
A good drifter can drift anything anywhere
2) Tyres - NO why? do we need more tyres? to make red smoke or something as useless as that? or to make car "slippery"? We have a choice of 4 different tyre sets - why not use those, if you cant - tyres will not help you
A good drifter can drift anything anywhere


Edit: ok, I read a few posts, correction : before racers will rush in and REALLY start bashing you I as drifter will do it first

man you drifters are THICK.

have you bothered doing a search?

less of the insults please, RMachucaA

rgr that, it just simply drives me up the wall when they dont bother doing a search, and starting new threads on the same "drifting" requests over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

Such is life on the insta-web. Anyone who thinks they're the first to think of something is usually not the first to think so

I think what squidhead said should be enlarged and splashed across a giant banner on top of the Improvements page:

a good drifter can drift anything anywhere :up:

Along with the old chestnut "drifting is not racing"

Or we could start handing out yellow cards or demerit points for repeating topics

maybe for a sig to be temporarily replaced with a dunce hat?

actually they do

Well they shouldn't
(see squidhead's post)

well i'm just saying that companies do make tires specifically for drifters

not really stating my opinion on this idea though lol i'm indifferent to it

Quote from XCNuse :

Yes, correct - the ones that make red smoke or something less useful, also they make sparkling brake disks (or brake pads - cant remember)...
but all those things are supposed to make drifter stand out
I believe that it's good that we dont have any of those

no there are real "drift spec" tires out there, not just those ugly show off ones

Quote from XCNuse :

hmmm...never heard of those... and Im guessing I still dont need them in LFS

lol probably not... actually all they really are are just semi-slicks

here are some companies that make and test them:
bridgestone, BFGoodrich, Cooper, nitto , falken, toyo, maxxis.. some others i guess

which.. lol actually thats almost all major tire companies

It's just a marketing ploy :doh:

I'm sure these "Drifting compounds" are just hard slicks, more or less.

more like semi slicks or radials
these were kinda popular back in the day.
