Welcome to the RT Drifting and NASCAR oval.

Now added NASCAR Spec oval racing.
Right Drifting (turn Right To Go Left drifting) is aimed at using the 'Drift 01' tyres, to promote drift practice. 'Drift' tyres have too much grip and are best used for setting up Time Trial records. I will be interested to know how many racers want to take part in drifting events. Any ideas welcome. Sharing setup files and replays will be helpful.

My Spec drift car I use to set most of my Spec Drift TimeTrial records. added: 18.10.2018

The 'spec drift' car in VRC Pro on first testing feels like the most useless car, no wonder no-one uses it. However, in some circumstances it's faster then the Modified drift car! I'll try and prove it one day.
I have set this car to extreme ARB settings to counter act the annoying tendency for this car not to be able to run in a straight line!
If you accelerate my setup in a constant progression this car can be made to run straight.
However, cornering is when it's most stable, so you need to encourage it to follow curves wherever possible and hit those apexes.
Load the attached file into your 'CarSetup' folder.
E.g. on my PC this is:
C:\Users\Simon\Documents\Virtual RC Pro\CarSetup\18098-Simon Williams

Let's see more R/C drifters saving on body shells and getting those thumbs up to speed.

The car control settings make a huge difference to whether a car is drivable, race-able or just plain hopeless. As ever test by moving 1 thing at once across the full range. Only move 2 things at once if you need to balance front and back of the car.
Store all results on an Excel sheet.

When drifting I use:
90% steering, -73 Exp, 5% deadzone, saturation at 83%
100% throttle, -10 exp 16% deadzone, saturation 82%

It should go without saying this is not proper opposite lock drifting - I use another setup for that, this is designed to get fastest lap-times, which is the only thing VRC Pro measures right now.
