i dunno if my first post transferred or whatever...but ne wayz im new here to GTP so hey. but i have a couple questions

1.what would u say to someone whos drifted in all three GT games? (since i was 10) for 4 yrs and going?

2.how do u drift and wat do u drift with? (trying to get a couple ideas other than handbraking)

i've seen as many GT3 drift vids as possible with my stupid dial up (gran dorifto) but at my friend tom's house i've seen parts of Drift Bible (not to great but good work since he did make a video) and the Zero-Countersteer i think was a great video..my god! :crazy: but ne hoo if u guys could give me some feed back thanks :) or we could talk drifting on AIM

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed my vid.....

Welcome to GTP.... My best advice to you, would be to study real life drift techniques, and settings..... Ask a lot of questions.....

If you need help with technique or settings, send me a PM, and I will do all I can to help.....

Welcome to GTP

1. Drift Jesus

2. I drift with alot of FR cars no 4wd because too hard on the wheel but Thio can drift with 4wd.
 
Your obviously very experienced in drifting considering all those years. Just keep practicing and practicing. No one is perfect but it is best to keep on honing your skills. As far as drifting in GT3, the easiest kind of drift to me seems to be a braking entry drift, going it at high speeds and completing a long drift. Take an FR car and but sport tires on the front and Super-softs on the back and fly into those corners. It's fun.
 
for ur first question, good job
2nd i drift on how i like to drift and i drift a nissan skyline r34and r33

Please don't tell people to do that..... Mixing tires is bad enough, but softer tires in the rear?.... That's backwards... You want more grip in the front, because your front wheels should be guiding the car, and gripping through the entire drift (FR)... No amount of trickery is going to change the fact, that the only way to not spin out, is to excersise good throttle control (which only comes with a lot of practice)....

However, mxing tires is just a cheap shortcut, that is more counterproductive, than anything else..... Technique is the key to a smooth controlled drift.... A lot of research, and trial and error, is the only way to become a good drifter... There are no shortcuts, that don't, either, hinder the drifters progress, or make more work for them......

Preach on brother SD!

I don't really have much to add, just wanted to back up what SD is saying because so many people here seem more interested in how cool what they're doing looks than how hard it is to actually do. While all the grip drivers like to say otherwise, real drifting has nothing to do with putting on a good show. It's all about testing your skill. That's where a properly-tuned car comes in, and yes I will continue to argue this until the day I die: It's very important to have a properly tuned car. You can't just go out and find some 12-year-old's settings that he randomly messed with to get his car sliding, and then learn how to drift on that. Your technique will be sloppy and you will have to not only learn things the right way afterward, but before you can do that you have to UN-learn the wrong way. (for clarification - properly tuned includes stock, stock is fine, but don't go wildly adjusting settings just to make your drift look more spectacular)

A truly good driver knows that the difference between drifting and grip is like the difference between fat and thin. Each is an extreme of the same thing, and neither one is "better" although each has its advantage. Grip operates just inside the limits of traction, while drift operates just outside those limits. That is the only difference, everything else is exactly the same.

Also I wrote a guide that is among the buzillions written so far. If you aren't sick of drift guides, have a look:

Thanks Perg, very well said....

It's nice to see you on the boards....


;)
 
i agree with SD and perg. But i need a new reason for drifting in gt3( or is it the controller needs to get replace), well ill be looking for one and welcome back Perg.
 
racing drift, is what u mean? yes, when im with my friends and they play me with high hp cars
 
I dont do it unless the other person has a non drifting car with like 900+ hp... and all there doing is griping... But i mostly play my bro and hes a drifter too and we dont do that grip stuff when we play each other... i think most people who play another drifter only drift..
 
1. cool!
2. i usualy feint or brake then extend the drift by handbrake IF i have to... cars i use? anything i can get my grubby little hands on!
