First let me give you a little background about myself. I work with cars for a living I tune them, test them and make them. I am not new to the drifting, having entered the 1st Club4AG drift event which Alex Pfifer won, even though I didnt win it was fun none the less, since then I've been in numerous DD events and other drift events. I own an AE86 Zenki Coupe and an S13 Coupe, both of which are my babies and both of which I drift.

Having real life behind the wheel experince I found GT3 with a steering wheel was easy to get the hang of, drifting however was another issue. I am able get the car sideways, mainly by lifting the gas and turning in sharp than e-braking. I am able to get the angle and clipping point I want, but I am not very consistent.

Here is my question. Is this style in GT3 prone to this type of behaviour or am I simply missing something? The cars I am using is tuned to a great degree and I have even spent hour re-tuning, still nothing. I have tried throttle steering, counter steering, bliping the pedals, etc. Any help would be nice. Also any other tips on the other forms of drifting within GT3 would be greatly appreciated.

Well, in answer to your question.
are you having trouble initiating the drift? getting the car side ways and losing traction in the rear wheel? have you tried simulation tires and set the ASM (automated stability management) to 0 along with TCS (Traction Controlled Sysmtem) to 0? Once any car is set like that it shouldn't be hard to lose traction and initiate a drift...

BY THE WAY: i am interested in seeing any pics of our 86 or ur s13 pretty please! :)
 
I believe I attached a thumbnail of an interior shot of the AE86. I can get the car sideways, the drift is easy to initiate for me, sustaining it for a considerable length and not spinning out is what I need help with. Im sure it will come with time but any comments and tips are welcome.
 
tune the car so that you are allowed to gas more. the reason i spin out is i gas too much. let go of the gas more so you gain traction. ebrake if you need to to extend your drift.
 
if it's a matter of holding your drifts throughout a turn, all you need is more PRACTICE. Being the experience individual you are, you should already know how to counter-steer and all, it's now just a matter of practice.
 
I have several versions of the same car tuned differently, but I'll try and tweak each one out a bit more. If I had more time I know i'd find the solution. Thanks guys.
 
Yes, one of the bad things about working with cars or doing anything your really passionate about, is that you have very little time on your hands. Summer time is usually the busiest time of year, but i'll be sure to brush up on the techniques before GT4 hits the shelves, if it ever hits the shelves. :lol:
