I'm looking for anything like a map of a track and its perfect line. I wanted to find a map with the best entry points and etc. I know it comes with the practice and i am getting the hang of it but a study map would be nice. DO anyone know where i can find maps like that?
 
Its quite hard to do any other line successfully. Is there a particular track you're struggling with?

its not any map im struggling with per-say. Im still learning and i though it was some maps with that info with it. I just have to learn the maps better.
 
The race line is almost exactly the same as the drift line. Use it for a reference point and go from there.
 
Maybe im the only one here that don´t believe in racing line for drifting, and think that the "racing line aid" more bother than helps while drifting....
 
if you're partway decent at driving/drifting, and you're countersteering consistently and smoothly, your front wheels should probably be travelling a path pretty similar to the racing line,

if you are gung-ho and using a ds3 and doing some brutalized mix mash of 4 wheel sliding and countersteer-rescue-efforts, trying to get some decent angle while pretending you are racing some one who is doing all the same things only better . . .then your ideal line might simply be "on the pavement 98% of the time"

if you're neither of those, the best place to start would probably be on some cufuh hawd tires at tsukuba in a room with like 10 people, try doing tandem with everyone untill you find a guy going your speed who can do the same lap 100% of the time, 100 laps in a row. Next, try to follow this dudes every move so closely that you look like this on the hairpins
