So another small track to rip. Danger level 5/5!
Apart from the road itself, I actually based this on a small layout for these drift Karts.
Just waiting to get some good physics and this little layout will be awesome!.
Welcome the monster, R32 Style in full effect.
Nothing like a replica to build inspiration.
A new addition to the Fleet. borrowed from RMS, this beast adds some RSG style.
The A~bo~moon inspired liveries are replicated from RC to AC
Assetto corsa is not only a drift sim...
Transfagarasan is one of those legend places. 26klms of Left right Drift with speed and death thrown in for good measure.
Doors on doors up the mountain.
"Dantai" Group Drift and "Mattari".
Having lived in Japan, this is something I totally get, but only after many years. Doing things the same way is drilled into the psyche there, so following another car's drift creates a sense of flow and smoothness. It's non aggressive and everything falls in place in a beautiful way. The concept of using drifting as a form of "Mattari" or "chilling out" is also a very strange concept for us outside Japan.
When I was first in Japan, I took "mattari" as more like a max attack together because everyone had more skill and looked better and drove faster, but it's not all the fastest all the time, its a measured response. A to B together is enough. I was always too aggressive and tried too hard to improve. it took a while to calm down and learn that everyone together was cooler. This is why these Japanese group drifts look so good.
The driver in front or second or third or fourth follows the same line and is satisfied with helping the person behind be able to follow too. This is hard to drive to be the same... it's not a western philosophy.
You can also take the view of admiring all the Sakura cherry blossoms in Japan at once. Not just finding the best tree, because that concept doesn't exist. All is good.
vs
Drift "Trains".
Western culture has the concept of drift "trains", but it's not exactly the same. I would say it's slightly less successful in western culture where individuality is drilled into us, (unless you are in the military). In drifting, we have this need to get on the door and leave our mark. It's not really enough to be close and stop. We "have to be" "all" "door to door" and extremely close or it's terrible, which is typically not the case. We may look the same by having a similar car, but I don't believe we have the "drive the same" mentality.
That's why I force myself to lead a train, because it stops my in built intent to get closer and closer and tap or bump. If I don't, I just stuff it up by getting too close or making a mistake. I need that mind shift reminder regularly also.
I lead at a reserved 90-95% and focus on line mostly. Because the mistakes that will come at 100% commitment waste other peoples time and not just mine.
Drift Comps try to bring the fight to those with a need to impress. Leave the comp battle in the comp zone.
Embrace the concept of "Mattari" and join the .RSG. "Dantai" Group Drift.
.RSG. Sliders 180sx
including some of the new Shaders Patch upgrades. that add to the ext_config.ini files.
This allows for High Gloss, Metallic, Chrome, Matt and Chameleon paint effects without changing the map or livery itself.
Iconic liveries became easy to replicate.
Bayside blue...
Shining Sun...
Maziora flip paint
creating full replicas takes time, but I think the effects are great. Liveries can be ported to the original cars as the maps are the same.
Nomura Ken and Uras vs Koguchi's K-Style
Add a little Sexy Knights Style.
You soon end up with 40+ liveries and can't decide
So just drive them all.
