intro:
Well I've had Gran Turismo ever since the first one came out. I bought GT3 before i got my PS2 (early jan 04). Anyways, around october of 03 i became drift fanatic.. And i watched all sorts of videos, and went to D1.. and driftshowoffs.. finally after playing gt3 about the 15th time.. i got to a point where i got a car that I could learn drifting at ease.. I have a GT wheel .. not the new one. Uh for some reason I can't get the car to powerover on the control pad. shrugs. LoL.

The car:
RX7 with about 629hp ... normal RX7 the one u can buy. did all engine mods.. (well cept for the last turbo upgrade) suspension and limited slip.. put on sims and DIDN'T do any settings. Cuz I felt if i'm going to learn, I can in reality drift any car. Oh so yea ASM - none.... TCS - level 1.

The practice:
Altho one would go through tutorials and all that.. i just put my self on "Run and Settings" [apricot hill cuz it has variety of turns] and just tried my best to keep the car under control while starting with powerover for now.

(kinda new to the board .. but been scoping it out for vids and stuff lol)
 
i'm not sure if i just need to update my quicktime player, or if yourlink isn't working...its not playin,i'll check my player
 
lol.. hey i did mention i just started LOL.. and to all u out there thinking it doesn't take practice.... it sure does.. just look at the replay.. u can see me in my ghost facing the other way LOL... and yep grass... ack.. i had some better ones but... they were well into the 15th lap. any tips on speeding up the REPLAY??
 
If you used the RZ, it has trouble power overing so i wouldnt rekomend that car... perhaps you should have changed the settings...
 
Hey, that's a tough corner, so good start. I agree with NK4e lower the HP.
 
Not a bad attempt, for sure.....

However, there are a few things you could do to improve your drift....

1. Lower the HP... that's way too much HP for sim tires... I would suggest either installing normals/sports, or lowering the HP to a more "sim" suitable level (around 400hp for the FD3S (low torque)....

2. Learn to use weight transfer instead of power over.... Power over is a good tool, but like any other technique, it can be easily over used....

Here is a pretty decent list of techniques:

If you need help with settings or technique, send me a PM, and I will do all I can to help....
