At what speeds do you guys drift at?

[Action Man]

Like for the first u-turn after the starting line on Midfield raceway.

 

[ethikz]

on that corner i usually accelerate as fast as i can, then b4 i enter the corner, i shift down to 3rd gear and tap the emergency brake and just control the throttle and brakes simultaneously...

when i drift, i usually like to keep the car in 3rd gear, my driving style doesnt really depend on the speed, just the control of the car, angle, up/down shifting, and brakes. its entirely up 2 you. But on huge u turns like the one you are talking about i keep it around 60-80 mph steady

 

[ethikz]

3rd gear...

ethikz, do you have another screen name?

 

[ethikz]

[Thio]

haha

 

[ethikz]

mines better tho, lolz

 

[Thio]

Do you use the wheel to drift?

 

[ethikz]

heh, i wish i had the wheel.I actually only drift with the analog sticks, i find them simpler and inexpensive =)

btw> are there advantages with the wheel?

 

[Thio]

Yeah. The drifts look a lot smoother and you can simulate the actual racy feeling

I use analog sticks too 👍 The picture that you posted looks like you use a wheel

 

[ethikz]

another one i just did right now in once again....3rd gear =)

 

[ethikz]

no.2

 

[TakumiAE86]

my enter speed for the first corner is around 137km/h and the exit speed is around 159km/h with a Subaru WRX Sti

 

[Ethix101]

Ethix is better

 

[ethikz]

is not!

 

[Night_Drifter]

i drift at 80 MPH or depends on the corner with super soft tires

 

[Night_Drifter]

did you guys know that in real life, drifting is slower then gripping, but i heard that its skills that matter but its proven that Grip goes faster

 

[Thio]

That's given Night_Drifter

Well it depends what you mean by "grip" and "drifting", but I’ve explained this racing drift thing so many times I’m not going to do it again.
