I know everyone has a different driving style, some are just plain regular and just drive, others have a more signature style and only drive a certain type of car.
for myself I usually try to take underpowered cars (currently got an S15) and have clean racing lines, and also i try to have minimal braking so i'm always as fast as possible
I'd like to know, what's YOUR style? how do you drive?

I've always liked all wheel drive vehicles like the impreza and legacy, so my style is straight ahead power, mostly grip driving. ITC let me take a slight departure from the norm with the depth of customization, so I can actually change my torque distribution. My impreza runs 35/65 or so, so it can get SLIGHTLY loose before all wheel drive kicks in.

Usually, it's just enough to show off before tucking in. But if I do it just right, the tail end swings out on consecutive turns (...trailing/snap oversteer? Scandinavian flick?).

There you go!

Lately I've kind of been picking a style to go through each game I play with.

For this one its been VIP, started with a Crown, upgraded to a Celsior and its hanging in there up through the last couple wanderers.

I tend to just let go of the accelerator before a turn and kinda point my nose at the inside wall so my car sort of glides through it.

Worked so far for me, it's like in between grip and drift...the wheels just barely start to slide (use the hard tires).
