Guys can u help me on some things i just cant drift even if the car settings is 4 drift it just wont work out 4 me. :grumpy: i eather go off the track, spin right around or snaplock just b4 going into the corner.

i also have tryed different speeds and different styles of entering corner also different HP but only tryed 3 cars tho....

Give me some tips please guyz
 
You should check out the FR Drift Guide by Boundary Layer and Swift. That guide should pretty much answer any question you might have.
 
I'm sorry.

You must be good at real life drifting then. Cause there's almost no correlation between real life drifting and GT4 drifting.

I'll try to help....Ok. If you have snap overcorrection problems....(car keeps overcorrecting or drift ends too early) it's because you need to unwind your c/s earlier. As soon as you feel the car start to balance out, unwind your c/s untill it holds it's angle. And don't c/s so much initially next time.

If you can't initiate a drift.....all I can say is fient the crap out of it. Just juke the wheel back and forth before the turn. That'll get you sideways.

If your spinning out.......wait a minute......no this is GT4, that's not even possible unless it's from snap overcorrection. nevermind.
 
I suppose you use wheel, am I right? for me, it took 2 months before i was able to control drift with DFP. I suggest that you'd practice with MX-5/Miata NR-A or BMW 120i. bimmer is more stable, whereas MX-5 is more tailhappy. drift them stock, no aids, and only oil change. and use some easy track like Grand Valley Speedway.

Yes. Because drifting is based all on settings.

This isn't some NFS drift game.
 
just attempt a miata or some other lower powered FR car, with no aids, no mods, and N1 N2 or N3 tires.

Look up the FR drift guide, and have fun with it.
 
Yes, that's a Miata. The 1800RS is a good base to start with, anyway, so you should be well on your way. Just keep practicing. Seat time, seat time, seat time. It's what counts.
 
and with enough seat time, you can jump into 938 bhp GT-R and drift it like champ.. power over is sweet thing in AWD car. :dopey:
 
I have a steering wheel, so I press the brake until the car is angled, downshift to keep the RPMs high, and feather the gas until the drift, oh yeah dont forget to counter steer, but no too much because then the car will wipeout
 
heh you have tried usin ur E-Brake right. that is the easiest way to do it, also u may wanna try tha really small rectangular course with all the cones for practice, it reall helped me practiceing settings their
 
You should use Manual too because auto shifts when the rpms are high and you dont want that you want to have high rpms in the corner. So it goes like this ok here come the corner turn e brake gas maybe a little more e brake down shift and then gas it out of the corner. also make sure that you are on the outside and then before you hit the curve cut in towards the apex. Good LUCK
 
Actually, drifting in real life and in GT4 is quite the same. So, if you can't drift, just keep on practicing. But, you should always use the concepts of drifting, not the settings of the car shown here. They are just sample to help you make a car drift. The major thing you need to set for a car to drift is just to off the Driving aids and make sure the Car is FR, plus the tyres.

For recommendation: use AE86 ver.2000

I made three car drifted, the best car I had drift is this one. The engine is really good, cause it make your can regain traction directly after you drifted. Therefore, you don't need to work out on the pedal work.

Not quite sure what is exactly being said Here, But No Real life Drifting and GT4 Drifting are NOT The same. I gather you don't speak from experience.

Yes Settings of the Car WILL enable the car to drift in this Game, But will not be the only thing.

A car will drift easier if aids are on, on this site we recommend no aids for one reason or another... i think it's just to make it more of a challenge or to prevent handi-cap and in some aspects more life like... I think :ouch:

And Yes, Practice makes perfect.

So have you actually ever lost control of a real car or driven one in anger to know how a game compares to it?
 
Can't drift eh? Join the club matey, but as they say, practice and you'll get there, so I've been told...months and months and I can barely get the car sideways. But don't let that get you down lol.

Actually, drifting in GT4 and drifitng in real life, because they share some same properties. I did some reseach on drifting in real life. And I found out that the physics involve in drifting in both condition are the same. If you think about it, it is really quite the same.

In real life, we use mostly braking techniques to initiate a drift. And we need to off or car's traction control and ABS system. If you don't, the rear wheel won't kick out.

Well, maybe you guys won't agree that drifting in real life isn't same as drifitng in GT4. That's ok. Well, I still don't have chance to make a car drift. After I done it, then I will prove my theory is right.

For Driving Aids, no. Driving aids won't help a FR car to drift. You must close the TCS (Traction Control System), which is used to control tyres traction. If you control the traction, then it won't lose taction. So, how are you going to drift?

lol i accually have:dopey: in a 1969 Porsche 911E Targa it accually does compare a bit if you have the stearing wheel. try it at home, its fun!:dopey:
i want to do it again...:nervous:
 
well since this topic is about help i wont waste the space and make a new topic. ok, i have a problem where i get around the corner fine but when it comes to the exit i have a 50/50 chance of sucess. what happens is i come out of the corner and even if im off the throttle the car is thrown the opposite direction. i mostly have this problem with japanese car. i mostly have drifted american so its probably all weight, but can someone tell me whats going on and help me fix it.
 
Well, I had this problem at first too. If you won't mind to do a short drift, I can give you some tips. Well, when drift into the corner, if you usually tap on the throttle, you should release your throttle it instead on controling your throttle. Then, all you need to do is to countersteer. But, the drift you make won't be last long.

It worked for my AE86 '00.
 
my tehnique usually on a sharp corner would be to let of the throttle, tap the ebrake, downshift turn the opposite direction and get on te throttle. this is done very fast. and it works amazing. i figured whats wrong though. i usually drift without a limited slip but i put one on my rx-7 so the corner would be fine but on the exit the limited slip wouldn't adjust quick enough so id still be turning and drifting at the end and when it finally kicked in to go normal it would throw me the other way because i was still trying to correct.
 
A thing you could try that works good on 90 degree corners, is to make the anlge of the drift the same direction as the exit of the corner. So, on a 90 degree corner, just turn the car sideways, then when you reach the exit, you don't need to correct yourself, you just keep it straight and hit the gas.
 
Actually, What i was tryin to tell you is, when you countersteer, try not to tap on the throttle, practice it for awhile, and you won't go to the opposite site of the road. Then, when you mastered it, you start to countersteer and control your throttle at the same time.

What you find written on paper MAY sound right, of course. GT4 was made to be a "simulator". But there are serious flaws in the way the cars react at low speeds and the feedback. Honestly, don't really on that game if you want to practice drifting.

Same techniques might be used, but the way we use them in gt4, we heavily exaggerate them to get past the insane amounts of understeer. Not only that, but the cars always feel disconnected to the road when they begin sliding. It's all down to the feel of how the car reacts when you drive it, and sadly, GT4 doesn't replicate that very good.

But all in all, drifting in gt4, or any game is just for fun so just do it 👍
