how to powerslide and drift

[dio8501tw]

Hi, i've been trying to learn how to powerslide for rallying and drifting just for fun lately but, i just can't get it right.
i have nearly no idea at all how to power slide and sometimes when i almost have it my car turns into the corner and get stuck or it just stops because i dont have enough speed.
i've also tried drift trials, and i suck completely, but i really wanna learn how to
so can you guys give me some tips on how to powersilde and drift? also what cars are good for drifting and powersliding.
by the way, i have the driving force GT steering wheel
thanks

Turn in, floor it, turn the other way to control it.

I don't know what you mean by powersliding, but I'm sure in the Drifting Forum they do. I've heard the Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo is a very good drift car (it's in NCD). Also use Comfort Hards, and check out the guides

alright thanks, i can see myself taking a long time to get good at the controling part after flooring it

If your just starting look in the ucd for any of the old ae-86 corolla's, there just as good to start out on in gt5 as they are in real life.

Best drift car I have is a 2000 Mustang Cobra R.

The trick with drifting is to have enough horsepower, I prefer naturally aspirated or supercharged for this because the power curve comes on sooner and smoother, a car that understeers slightly stock, and either comfort softs or street hard tires.
Turn off all driving aids, except ABS if you like it.
Then when the car starts to understeer, gas it hard so the rear brakes loose and countersteer.

Do you mean oversteer?

EDIT: On a related note, OP should watch Keiichi Tsuchiya's Drift Bible. Also, always use a manual transmission for more control. A fair use of e-brakes would be helpful too. Most importantly, get a feel for the car(s) you're trying to drift. It helps a whole lot. Some cars are really accessible and some, not so much. Go online and see what others are drifting. That could narrow your choice of car. Finally, give the Drifting Forum a shout. They have a handful of guides and stuff.

Thats actually a bad idea when your drifting with a wheel, you need to practice throttle control or you'll spin almost everytime

alright, thanks for all the tips, i've been doing what you guys said for a while now with DS3 and im getting pretty good at it, but when i switch back to driving force GT....well, its a lot harder

Going from a controller to a wheel is very hard but it's easier than starting with a wheel from what I've heard , so try using the controller and once you get good with it, try your wheel.

I also find Eiger Norwand Short (either full or sector) is good for a drifting course, lots of good corners on it and the first two sectors give you a good line for both left and right drifting. 90% of my time with GT5P was spent on Eiger Nordwand drifting and GT5 still gets a fair turn at it.
