In the tradition of Rotary starting cool subjects. ^^

What do you find harder in TRXD2, Drift or Grip?

well i find it hard to grip fast since a lot of the FFs and AWDs have terrible torque steer...but drifting cleanly and beautifully takes a lot of practice...

so i guess gripping fast, and drifting cleanly are equally difficult

I guess what I had the most trouble doing was keeping a good speed while drifting. I used to only drift in this game, no matter what kind of race I did, and it took me about 2 months to learn to balance speed and angle properly

Its damn tough for me to grip. Like what Otaku Taikun said, horrible torque steer.

I guess i should say Grip. eventhough I prefer drifting, grip it is more natural. It depends on the car setup though. Iset up most of my cars to drift pretty easily, even when i dont try, because it is more fun.

Overall grip tuning is far harder for me, drifting has become much easier and enjoyable though. I do have a difficult time getting big sedans to drift as smoothly as the smaller coupes.

It all depends on the car for me.

I know Matt only gave the Grip vs. Drift as options...

but in general difficulties - I have a hard time drifting right turns. For some reason curves, corners, and cones in the right direction are difficult for me - almost like I have a NASCAR complex (I can only turn one direction :lol: ).

I may have a reason why this happens. Everyone should know that Jpn cars are right-hand drive, right?
Well I think it's harder to turn right because of the right-hand drive.
Physics says there is more weight on the right side, therefore if you turn left the weight is on the outside, which helps the car turn better. The exact opposite goes for the right.
If anyone can make sense out of this, good.
Strange how Genki programmed something like this into TXRD2.

but realistically, wouldn't weight on the right side make the car want to turn to the right easier, like on a banked slope. It's how they make airplanes turn easier. I never thought of the games physics being so advanced in that way.

Actually, I was just referring to a mental block - not necessarily the physics of the game. :lol:

I got that when driving uphill and flat surfaces. mainly because i'm so much more used to DH since i get discouraged from crashing too much when i try drifting uphill and nearly all Conquest battles are DH, so i don't really get enough uphill/flat surface practice.

If you are going downhill, or if the traction on your tires is crap.
The "push effect" is more noticeable uphill than downhill, but on the FF cars I've noticed it more often than on FR or RR.
In rallying there is a great little limited-slip differential (LSD) modifier. This is called Active Yaw Control. What it does is modify the amount of torque that is applied to the right or left side of the car, so you can have the effect of what you said.

im with driftoner i drift everything regardless of the race. If i try and drive grip too much I end up going a lot slower than just ripping into a turn at full drift. Its the name of the game! :grin:

Drift or grip is equally fun too me. Usually i drive my fully built ITR non turbo or EVO IX MR for grip racing and a variety of FR cars for drift. The AE86 has taught me alot and still trying to master it. But a turbo Sileighty is my favorite drift car, it provides that easy swing and good speed.

yeah lol, if i try to grip race on kaido rather than just ripping inot the turn sideways im uber slow, i even get that on LFS in AWD's, my RWD and FWD grip racing is faster, But my AWD Rally drifting is alot faster than my Rally grip.
