As I said, I'm quite a beginner in drifting and really not that good. It's enough for me if I get the tasks on gold and even that annoys me a lot.
I just don't like this unstable driving condition, or rather I'm too stupid to master it properly. As I said, I reduce the steering angle of the bike to 270°, so I need less movement on the bike to steer in the game when drifting.
I tried desperately to test the Mustang last week, but there was no way I could even get silver. I then read somewhere that the wrong tires were also fitted to the car.
Last week you should be able to do this task in Daytona on RH tires, apparently it was a worse tire with less grip before the first patch. So I tried again tonight. Now it's KM tires which is an extreme difference on the Mustang.
After some trial and error, I found out that it is easiest not to drive into the drift area at high speed at all.
Even before the beginning of the zone, I initiated a gentle drift looking to the right... Then I activated the braking zone to get a better feeling for when I should slow down the drift.
I managed that well and very carefully with little steering and gas + brakes let the car glide around the curve.. after the curve a little more gas and the car went nicely across the line.
Here, too, I had activated the countersteering assistant, I don't know whether I would have managed without it, but I don't really want to test it either...
It helped me a lot to shift the brake balance further back, which I felt allowed at least 2 things. On the one hand, the front tires were not immediately overstrained by braking too hard, on the other hand, I was able to keep the rear at an angle that was comfortable for me when drifting using the brakes and gas.
I'm sure the drift pros here will laugh at how I do it, but I have gold and that's all I care about.
I hope I was able to help you and others to make it too.
