I think just about anything with 400+HP will do. The drifts at Deep forest are kind of long, so you need some power.

I was caught off guard by the insane amount of traction at Chamonix. I haven't run any snow tracks in a while, did the updates change the way these tracks handle?

Yeah Chamonix really threw me too, the last offroad drift I remember was one at the Eiger a while back (pre 2.0) and it was dead easy to drift with even low powered cars, back then I used the Nissan Bluebird rally car.  For this new one I tried the 70s Mitsubishi Lancer rally car that I'd used before and almost couldn't get the car to slide at all (I know it was dirt but at Toscana a whlie back the car was a dream to drift) and couldn't get even a halfway decent score, even in a higher powered car it was still WAY more grippy than I ever remember.

I saw something new this weekend, actually, the first time ever. Someone doing doughnuts in front of their house. I couldn't really see what the car was do to the fact that the house was only partially visible up the cliff from me. Yup this guy was going in circles between his porch and a 100 foot drop off for about 2 minutes. He probably had a couple of feet to spare on each side.  :o Sounded like a six banger with no exhaust.  :-\

After Friday's Tuna Cup race, Feldynn(GTR), Turbo(Veyron), and I(Merc) hung out at the track a little bit.

The Mad Merc may have a replacement.

The next luxury drifter.  :)

So I'm finally getting the hang of this drifting thing.  I was never a fan of drifting but I realized it was probably because I sucked so bad.  Now that I somewhat know what I'm doing, I have to say it's a lot of fun.

I spent about 3 hours the other night trying out different cars.  Here's a few shots...









I'm up to 18,000 at Suzuka.  I'm coming for you, Chrome!  :)
