Drifting used to be my favorite event, and I like to think I was pretty good at it. It felt like real drifting, and pulling off a clean run was a great feeling.
But now, it makes no sense to me. Fast, weak angle drifts score tons of points while strong angle drifts, drifts like real drifting, score very little, even when going fast. If I'm in a long corner, I can watch my points go pretty good to 2000 and then slow to a trickle once I pass 2k, even though I didn't change my drift at all. If I do a super weak drift which looks more like I screwed up the corner in a time trial and squealed the tires, I get 3500. If I go in fast and then give a stronger angle to slow down during a decreasing radius turn, I get less points.
I went back to an event I had a top 10 score in (Bandipur with the Ferrari California). I can equal my score, which is okay, but when I look at the number 1 score, he got 4500 points in the final corner by hauling ass and doing a weak drift, nailing the guard rail hard at the end. In the Initial Drift event, I'm even with the number one score at the last corner, but then he gets 12,000 points in that corner. WTF, that's BS. That's not drifting. It's gone a complete 180 from what it used to be.
