Drifting with fwd car? I don't think so! All you can do is a scandinavian flick. In game is one dirt race track on the way to air field

I can live without drift track because there are asphalt roads in town

Funny to wip the car around with the handbrake and see it straighten up as you floor it on the airfield

I feel calling what you can do in a FWD 'not drifting' is simply RWD favor - the drive wheels are spinning, the arse ends out, you're in control while being out of control, you drift (waver/uncertain path) while going around the corner. Even if you want to do as far as saying you can't call it Drift, with a capital D, the verb 'drifting' is still appropriate - because that's what's happening.

You can drift with any wheel drive. Fwd, awd, 6x6, rwd.
Flipp the back out, give some gas and keep it there.
Rwd just happens to be the easiset to controll and can be done in any speed on any surface.

I see we have here some drifting experts

I'd like to see you argue down the R/C Drifting community on their usage of the term drift. Most of their cars are AWD.

The difference between a RWD and a FWD is that you can floor it in a RWD while in a drift to extend it and gain speed which you can't really do in a FWD because the front wheels start pulling the rear. FWD is probably the easiest to control since you can easily spin out without throttle management in a RWD and you can always just floor it to make it out of the drift.

I think this game actually needs to have a AWD car as a DLC. The RWD mod is rubbish, I like controlling the Satsuma on the keyboard normally but it's just a smaller Ferndale with that mod.

What the ♥♥♥♥ are you talking about guys. Drifting is RWD ONLY, get that through your head. "Drifting" an AWD is not called drifting, it's powersliding. I don't think need to explain FWD drifting

[NGineus]

"Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control for the entirety of a corner. Car drifting is caused when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle"

This is the definition of drifting, and a good drift is also achievable in a well tuned FWD car, japanese people, that are the gods of this, just show that fwd drift is a thing. Everytime you control a sequence slides, were the rear axle follow a bigger angle then the fron one, this will be called drift.

With this, i'm not saying that a powerslide is drift, but powerslides and drift are two different things, one is art and the other one is a consequence of too much speed in a corner.
