Yes, please. Let's not have some retarded flamewar about what's drifting and what's not like over on that other site. Call it drifting, sliding, whatever. I don't care and it doesn't matter as long as we all understand each other.

Left foot braking is not about sliding the rear end, although sliding the rear end may be a consequence of it.
It's pretty amazing though, the first time going around a well-known corner as fast as you dare in a FWD car and applying the brake a bit with the left foot while keeping the accelerator down.

Then what is the purpose of left foot braking a FWD car into, in the middle or at the exit of a corner? If its not to induce a weight transition from back to front to compensate for the somewhat always present understeer of a FWD car.?! Big Grin

Not wanting to start an FWD versus RWD drifting discussion but thats like saying, high powered RWD car stepping on the gas and going sideways is not drifting, its powersliding, so you can't drift an RWD. You forget about other techniques that require alot more skill.

I've seen people drift an FWD in many different styles and fashions without ever touching the handbrake. And trust me, making a FWD drift that way is something that really takes alot of practice to perfect and probably is even harder then RWD drifting since you can't control the rear tires.

Still, RWD drifting offcourse is much cooler

As for those vids, man those are some damn crazy mofos out there! Must be all that heat is getting to them....
