Drifting Style

In GT3, I like drifting AWDs more than FRs.

I keep regular tires on the car, set the VCD to about 30% front and run around 380-420hp.

The Subaru 22B is my favorite AWD drift car. It drifts fast and at a low angle, not really a show drift. BTW, the suspension and weight have been untouched on my 22B and I can do zero-counter drifts.
 
I like late braking drift it looks cool on replay and fast!

Keiichi Tsuchiya is the best raining driver i've ever seen! i saw him pushing hard in his ARTA nsx in rain, it's so cool 👍
 
hmmm the way i drift is i come into the corner with alot of speed, hit the E brake just to iniate the drift, and then use the gas to control how sideways i am in the turn, ive never tried this with a Wheel, but hopefully its not TOO much more difficult than controller, BTW whats the name for this technique? i know it has a name, im just not smart enough to remember right this second, and thanks in advance!! :sly:

it's an extremely original one, you'd never guess it

are you ready.....

E-Brake Drift


If I were you I might try and branch out into some other techniques. E-braking is a good way to learn how a car will handle once you've lost adhesion, but its method of attaining that state is not generaly looked at with the same level of regard as some of the other methods.

the Braking technique should not be too much of a stretch if you are currently using the e-brake. And it will teach a bit more about using weight transfer.
Have a look over this thread (and the Drift strategy thread also) and see what else is available. There's also some great guides that are stickied in the GT3 drifting forum whose basic teachings should still apply to GT4.
 
i just go and drift...no real style, whatever happens happens. i like to do the long side drift technique that nomuken's drift xtreme or whatever team does. check out my vid in the gt3 drifting forum for an example. i also like doing stunt type things, making the replays rock....360s into drifts around corners, full speed 360s, 720s, 1080s on the straights, 180s, to opposite direction reverse 180s and then sliding stops close to walls.
 
nope, get in the speed 12, fully modded, special stage 5 in the rain, walk the duck a lil bit in 5th gear, get into a 360 then steer with the turn just once, keep on the gas and you should end up doing about 3 full rotations.
 
zero countering as mentioned on the previous post is a very advance technique......it's some time faster than actually gripping if it was used in a proper way........

i wonder not much ppl have their attention on orido.......as he can do exactly the same things as all d1 drivers......if not....better......afterall.....he's one of the 2 d1 judge......he was also said to be the next drift king after tsuchiya in japan.....in my opinion......he's already better than tsuchiya.....
on the 6th round of ebisu in 2004, orido had pulled out 1 demo run infront of the crowd right b4 the d1 event started.......his angle and spd is....HARDCORE......
most of all.......he was doing it with his supra.......

i'm very suprised when i looked at tsuchiya's DOB.......me and him got the same birthday....Jan 30......but of course.....not the same yr lol
 
It's sort of hard to narrow it down on one style of drifting. Depending on the apex nearly all techniques can be achived. Although if I am race/drifting I will more than likely go with braking drift, kansei, and power over also obviously focusing on speed rather than large drifts.

On the other hand if I am "show" drifting I will tend to use feint, power over, breaking, choku-dori in some cases :dopey: , kansei, and last but not least using dynamic drifting to link all those together. :sly:

Between the two I more often drive focusing on getting around the track as quick as I can and using drifting to take the corners... pretty fun when racing your ghost. 👍
 
i dont really think of it as a style, its just some techniques look better than others, and if you choose to stick to one set of techniques even when others will look better, thats a style. So, i guess my style is dynamic high angle, high speed driftind doing whatever it requires to get the car sideways quickly.. I always try to use the technique that will either allow me to link turns or get high angle. Handbreak feels pretty useless still even in gt4 so i never use it.

I dunno.. i've always thought orido was a good driver ever since i started watching best motoring. All the guys in BM are pretty damn fast.

thats what i said. orido is good and isnt that his daily driver also? i like orido's driving. super smooth. i always wondered if he could take on the D1 people in a car that's built specifically for him.

Not quite, but it is the technique I am beginning to adopt thanks to this 900 degree mode.

I really do hate the sound of the wheel turning too fast, and I'm barred from playing GT after 10:00pm because it disturbs the people next door, which makes it kind of akward considering I go to bed at 6:00am.

Oh well..

Another sacrifice about to be made in the name of GT...
 
Keichi gets props for bringing drifting to where it is today...however, skill wise he is no where near the D1 competitors today.

Got to remember he is getting old as he just retired from JGTC competition as well.

Anyone going to D1 Grand Prix round 1 on sunday...i will be there....

Are you kidding me? His skill level is still pretty high for someone of his status.... He may not be in the shape he needs to compete in a competition but, for his age he is doing very well
 
very useful thread, perhaps the first time I get a sense of how to drift in a concise way (and a lot of attitude, but I can understand that ;-) you must be proud, hehe
 
I have yet to see anyone who can drift an AE86 as consistantly well as Keiichi :) thats one thing i dont think anyone can argue against. :dopey:
 
drift king has a difficulty drifting ebisu with his ae86.........so i wouldn't say he's too consistant

while alot of d1 86s can do that turn with no problem

I've gotten an escudo to do ten rotations using that method at the test course.

As for GT4, i haven't established my self well enough to start drifting yet. Infact I'm not a drifter really. What I do is set my cars up so the front and rear breaks are equal, and as much power as possible is going to the rear. (i.e. RWD or AWD with vcd full rear) On slower turns, I break down to normal speed for the turn, usualy holding a small angle in the opposite direction under breaking. Then lift off the breaks as I cut in, and get on the power and just see what happens. if my line is perfect, I let the front end slide hands off the wheel. If the rear is coming around to fast i dial in a tiny bit of CS and feather it. On fast corners, it depends on the cars tendencies. Sometimes lifting off the throttle will get it sideways, (i.e. MR cars) If not, i cut the wheel and stab the breaks almost at the same time, but the turn in happens first. If the line is good i just let it slide, no counter steer. if it's to tight I squese on the power (Not full throttle, but feather it to give the rear more traction and increase my speed), and if it's to wide, I stab the breaks. The same corrections go for situations where the radius of the turn changes, And again I exit on power with countersteer. This method allows me to link corners easily if they are close. On the strait i keep it just bearly sideways feathering the throttle and no cs, then when i reach the second turn I turn in and stab the breaks.

Yeah, that sounds right.
 
Dude, that's like, "how to drift".

Everyone read the above post.


Also, the second I see you change your avatar, I'm stealing your old one.

Just so you know :O
 
I'm more of the style of out - in - out and having a smooth flow. It's all about smoothness for me.

When I make a demo video, you'll see first hand how much I really agree with that.
 
My style depends on the car and the course it self, I would usually feint on the track Midfiled but brake-drift on Trial Mountain. When i am driving an 4WD/AWD, i would usually have a very agressive style since i can get high angles but for MR i would try to make it smooth as possible.
