Why You're using so extreme settings? I mean the car will brake bad and it's very difficult to do weight transfer without front brake(3). Is Your car brake enough?

I'm using 9/19(ASM 0) with LSD setting all at max and it work fine, I can make Braking Drift(On U turns) without loosing speed before that - On Laguna Seca 1st turn after start-finish line(on GT3 game). With Zonda C12S full tuned(1000+hp, racing slicks hard) from approximately 300kmh to 120kmh braking then braking drift/shift lock/power on... I love speed&drifts and Braking Drift is my first weapon...

How do you drift through U turns like the ones in Tsukuba? (First right, second left, and the third right) I seem to loose momentum halfway through the turn and understeer or if I enter the turn too fast I spin out. Anyone have any tricks to drifting through U turns? Thanks.

Try doing these turns with a Honda S2000, in Manual. The S2000, is quite easy to drift and its a good car to learn difficult turns in. This is what i did, just spend a few laps, getting used to what speed and angle to do the bends at. That helped me alot.
 
You can try the settings I posted in the Settings Depot for my SUbaru if the above Subaru is not helping. I've gotten very used to my car and find that it can make it through U-Turns very easily. Even the one's on the end of Costa in the special conditions races. It's fun drifting against the AI in those.

My Subaru is also the only car that I've been able to do sic donuts in. everything else I've tried is just so slow.

For the second hairpin turn, you have to hit the 1st apex late when you go through the s-turn (that precedes the hairpin turn) so you could feint just enough to get your car sliding through the hairpin turn.

Brake drifting is used for the first hairpin turn. It's all timing, feint, and throttle.

The last hairpin requires a fast entrance speed with a slight pull of the e-brake when you enter in order to extend the drift.


The hairpins in Tsukuba require you to enter wide, not from the inside.

Costa Di Amalfi is great practice for hairpin turns because gravity really pulls your car through.
 
got a request from klo to reupload that demo vid in my pm box. I'm not home at the moment but i'll be reposting the link here tomorrow for him (and others who care to take a look)
