@NicholasBouchard Soarer.... hard to drift..?? you need coilovers and a welded diff... and it is not hard to drive at all..

[OlsVicDash]

Soarers are shit on the limit unless prepped well, so keep up the practice you'lll get it...

I'm glad you weren't doing this on the street, and doing this in a control environment =3.

Man why is everybody being so rough on this guy? At least he's learning on a track and not out on the street sliding into other cars/people on the sidewalk.

@jackobcooper drifting is a skill lost upon many otherwise "good" drivers. It's been illustrated over and over.

A good car/driver doesn't need a smooth or even clean road surface. Just look at half the Jap drift matsuris.

Natural drift, look it up. A well-balanced car should give the driver control over which end loses grip - front or back - and hence the driver can induce natural drift by his driving style and weight shift, without even using handbrake/power over. It makes life a LOT easier.

@archangel062 drifting aint a 'skill' if you know how to control a car, you know how to drift, what helps is to have a clean road surface, not some shitty track like Saratoga. It wants to be a smooth track surface with no anomolies, then when you are familiar with the drift car in question you can drift.

And 'natural drift' ? wtf. if you are in a corner and you get oversteer everytime, i'd say your rear ARB too stiff. That ain't how a car should handle. A good car will be difficult to drift.

[jackobcooper]

who ever you are, your car control skills SUCK.

Poor Soarer. At least it wasn't a UZZ32, those are rare enough as it is. I'm sure the owner knew well enough that this was inevitable with an auto box and more importantly no LSD. Skidding an open diff is asking for trouble in my opinion.

Cheers,
