Default "Drifting"

I just don`t get it, cannot see any fun in it at all!
When cars are designed to grip in corners why force it to drift??
Just plane dumb and a waste of good tyres.

I completely agree... I have been playing a fab game called Grid Autosport, and you get to drive allsorts of cars in various locations, BUT one section is dedicated to drifting!
What moron thinks it up?, its like driving on ballbearings.. dreadful. BUT I have to complete it to progress... arghhh...

Upside is, I am currently using a very nice Aston Martin in Endurance race.

Ask a rally driver, or in fact any track race driver as well. .... The reason? It's a faster way to go round the corners and exit at speed... at least when done properly: when done badly just lot's of noise and smoke. And in a go-kart without a diff it's the only way to get around a corner any faster than a crawl.

Codemasters know how to make great racing games

I was gutted to find out that the latest in the Grid/Toca series has not been made available for the PS4

Still, F1 2015 is keeping me occupied
