Hairpins?

[mwoodski]

how do u drift hairpins, like on grand vally and apricot?

 

[MeM]

i stay on the outside. then turn in mabey hit the E-brake if my back dosent swing out. I go aorund 20-30 miles an hour too

When I drift a hairpin... i usually come up to the turn fast, and jab the breaks and preform a breaking drift , that way I can speed up on my exit, helps when racing people ^^. Its kinda important to be sideways before u enter the turn for hairpins because they are so sharp you really don't have time to start going sideways during the turn. If your using sim tires... you should be drifting at around...30-40, normal tires u can do around 40-50. Id say u should be in 2nd gear but of course thats dependent on your gear ratio. I hope this helps

(( this is for MR and FR cars... for 4WD cars im pretty sure ud have to feint motion ))

I go in fast and use the braking drift with Power over before you get to the corner, but the trick for me is beginning the counter-steer very early like while your sideways before the corner, because if you wait too long to counter-steer you will just blow the corner and 180...

I go in pretty fast, step hard on the brakes as I feint motion (this is with 4WD cars), works pretty good for me.

depending on the car, (cudaman's FC style) slam the brakes for a good entry speed, cut the wheel, counter-steer while acceling alittle then on exit gun the gas to spin the car into the next turn. counter again and repeat on third turn. this works for me pretty well, looks nice and keeps a good line.

Watch my instructional video for Laguna Seca. First corner is a pretty good hairpin.

hmm,well the way i learned it is using different ways to go start the drift and going in the turn now i use teh one i do best.ill tell you how i do it:lets say a left hairpin is comming ,i well be on the left side of teh road and before getting too close ,i turn right and brake so teh back swing and that well shift teh wieght to left side and then give a little gas and tehn turn left and brake so it well shift the weight from left to right and that well keep teh car balaced while cornering,and tehn just keep the drift while counter-sterring and accelerating.

For my Skyline, I would take it, sway the rear end out to the left before the big left hand hairpin and then let the car respond to the bounce of the hard braking. Then, my car is ready to drift the whole corner. I usually do this on all of my cars. My settings don't let me countersteer, which I prefer for some odd reason

in midfield II there's a hairpin there that i drift pretty well..i do an inertia drift thing..but i do it with e-brake since it's a lot quicker..it slows me down enough and i can clear it and easily accelerate..but that's just my style..

couldn't have said it better, especialy with bigger real wheel camber (sport tires R, hard F)

the hair pins in grand valley have the high crown effect at the apex of the turn on the outside, and doesn't go flat until the straight section, THIS IS BAD, you losse to much speed from the drift and the car cant complete the sliding motion into the exit of the turn, it looks dumb! one way to get around this is the brake/gas interconected jamming technique in which the drift starts
high on the entry,
using momentum into the apex head on while sliding,
and EXITING on the INSIDE

with all the traction you mangaed to aquire by jamming
i use L2 as brake and R2 as gas to add finer dual control between the two buttons, otherwise it can get real messy when using [] andX.

there are some good hairpins on the autum ring track (GTCONCEPT) like the long ones in grand valley, it even has an uphill 120 degree turn, but more fun when going down it. in first person it looks like your banking left in an aircraft.
