If the car's handling is balanced, and the driver takes it right up to
the limit of traction, why wouldn't the car drift? I don't know if F1 drivers get to the point where it drifts or not, but would be surprised if they don't. |

I've seen F1 cars slide at low speeds and once at high speed (Kimi at Spa, altho I suspect luck had something to do with saving that), but 99.9% of the time when a high-downforce car starts to slide at high speed it's going off the track. I believe it was Larry who complained that the GTP mod is "grip grip grip chirp gone" and pretty much that's the behavior I'd expect from a car with ground effect (or a diffuser) and tons of downforce. Try the F1 cars in F1C or Rfactor sometime with the "downforce drop off caused by yaw" or whatever it's called set to 1.0, imho it improves the behavior of the car at speed substantially since the wings are no longer providing grip when they're traveling sideways. |
