Not sure. What's with the cockpit jiggling about like that? Also,
going onto the grass didn't seem to make much difference. Plus there
was some tail sliding through the corners which seems a bit out of place
for those type of cars.

My thoughts exactly. An F1 car drifting looks very arcadey and silly.

This appears to be a wmv file, yet my Windows Media Player can't play
it. Also, the way the link is set up I can't save the file.
Suggestions? Is there another location that I can get it from?

Thanks,
Russell

They also have traction control; if TC is off, 1000bhp=serious drifting!

Have to disagree I'm afraid. Drifting an F1 car around like in that video
would destroy the tyres in about 3-4 laps. Drifting is not the fastest
possible way around a corner. Unfortunately they didn't realise that back
in the era GPL simulates...(or at least they couldn't do much about it)

I'd imagine the optimum slip angle of a 1967 vs a 2005 Formula (or other
high downforce modern racecars) tire are many degrees apart, allowing
the 1967 cars much more leeway in how far they can get sideways before
it becomes a disadvantage in cornering speed.

Oh I don't think it's the fatest way for sure - but they do drift. And
judging by the smashfest in the vid, I doubt these guys were too interested
in being fast, nor completing more than a few laps! ;-)
