Beginner's Drifting Car

[Bandwidth815]

Hello. I am just starting to get into drifting (a bunch of my friends do it). So I am just wondering what a good starting car to learn on is.

Beginner Drift Car discussion. Basically anything FR is good though the S2000 stock, S13,S15, Rx7's, BMW 3 series. Are good enough examples.

i started with a 200sx with comfort hards and a good suspension @ tsukuba circuit.

In gt5p I used eider nordwand with a BMW m3.then I moved to a C6 Z06.keep in mind to use comfort tires

Try AWD cars and use the handbrake. Once you've learned the basics. them move to low powered FR. Then to 400hp FRs. For AWD use the LSD and set the torque to rear.

I find the FT86 with comfort hards really quite easy,up the power a tad if you need to

DO NOT DO THAT! use RWD cars only, AWD cars will not drift and you will be in all sorts of trouble when you move onto RWD cars.

^ Disagree. I'm using AWD and RWD and AWD is perfect for a beginner. It teaches the essentials but has some help of control from the front wheels. Just remember to get an LSD and torque adjuster to move the power to the back wheels. I have an Evo, Sti, another evo and another Sti that drift like a charm. Check this thread out:

just a personal opinion but AWD teaches bad habits also is not very well liked within the drifting community. a good starter drift car in my opinion is the Nissan Silvia (S13). Also, look through the drifting forum here as there is ALOT of information to start out. my biggest tip i can give you is to just practice and have fun, skills will come in time.

Would you like to prove it in game wise? AWD is fun to drift in previous games allowing Zero Countersteer for the most part.

Also allowing degrees up to 180
Though Zero counter seer is controlled with the gas pedal and line though it is learned from drifting in a FR car. If Drifting is the Art of Sideways, then would you reconsider about FF drive types? Possibly "Bad Habits" are usually done in tuning the vehicle.

Man, those were the days... When people drifted for fun and no one cared what you drifted or what tyres you drifted on or how you drifted! As long as you were going sideways, then it was OOOKKK!!! Wicked vid that nk!!!
