Rule : 1.12.2

[[TC]►Adrian◄]

I totally agree with what Jacob said here.

Also as others said, we can't compare normal drifting and arab drifting. There are few similar details but there are so much more different details as well.

I'm drifter and I'm sure that I'm not even good at it, just trying my best. But on my level of experience in it I'm able to control car in drift for most of the time (mistakes always happen, such as oversteer, but even when I oversteer I'm still able to stop my car safely without even going on wrong side).

I was trying arab drifting too but even with my (not a big) experience in drifting (which should help here) I couldn't control car as much as in normal drifting. I supose it's just a case of time to get used to it however it's still technically impossible to control arab drifting as much as normal drifting (in my opinion). When drifting RWD car you can all the time change grip of rear wheels by applying different amount of throttle and using handbrake. In FWD car you can only use handbrake, which gives u less control.

Second thing which makes arab drifting more dangerous than drifting is place where it's suposed to be done. Drifting is designed for corners, arab drifting for straight road. Corner is almost same on correct side of road and on wrong way, so there is no need to go on wrong side. On straight road one lane is not enough to perform arab drift, so you need to use wrong side as well, which again makes arab drifting more dangerous than drifting.

Last thing I will describe here are "tricks" or however you call it. I means things like doing 360 and so on. In normal drifting there are no such things, while in arab drifting there are. It's really dangerous as it's simply losing control of car on purpose for few seconds. These few seconds can cause so big danger.

Summarizing: Arab drifting is more dangerous than drifting and it's probably reason why only arab drifting is forbidden. Personally I had more accidents and/or problems with arab drifters than with drifters. I don't think this rule should be changed or removed.
