Well, a portion of it is having a good machine. What's your current machine? (If you say that you have more than one, try starting out with just one.)


If you have a low powered car, try to stick to a tighter track to start learning. Also, don't assume that the DF:GT and DS3 are completely different. Certainly, they are different, but you can learn from anyone.



I think you should challenge yourself to hold a drift. That's the basic starting point, for me. Go to Autumn Ring, and then drift around the bridge a few times. It's almost a perfect circle. Eventually, you'll start to hit 50 km/h on comfort hards, while never having to correct.


The main tip about how to old the steering wheel: turn in the opposite direction of the drift, until the rear tires start to gain grip. Then feed more power in, carefully avoiding putting too much power in.


Otherwise, GODfreyGT5's a good guy, too, and has a good point about the drift bible thing.

I'd hit up Tsukuba in a stock 3.0 supra with Comfort hards, 0-10 brake balance, LSD with a set-up as so:
5
30
30

Go lap after lap, it's how I learnt and was starting to tandem by the end of day 1.

Mind if I add you? I'll hook up my DFGT and we can learn together. I've had it for some months now but never bothered to learn to drift. But I do love drifting

Then you shall be learning for a LONG time.

^^This.

At least try comfort mediums. The key to learning how to drift, is how to control the car during a slide. If you have too much grip, what's going to happen? You're gonna straighten out and swing your car the other way. Start learning with less grip tires!!

Here's another tip, find a car you like, and stick with it! The more you change your car, the longer it'll take you to learn (different characteristics). Also, do a track until you're sick of it, when you're sick of it, do it some more! It's also good practicing with a buddy, you can share tips and have encouragement. If you're always on your own, you'll just get frustrated and want to break your wheel!

The key is practice, practice, practice. I've been going on 3.5 months (G27) and have finally got it, not pro yet but intermediate (was pro on ds3). It takes a while to get it, it's not something someone can teach you, except for advice, you need to get the feel for things for yourself.

Thanks man, I started a month after my daughter (which is 4 months now) was born. I took some time off work, parental leave, so I have all the time in the world to practice lol, aside from daddy duties .

Patient buddies that will slow down with you really helps a lot.

Okay. Grab the RE-Amemiya RX-7 FD3S (the baby blue one) with comfort hards. Sport hard tires have too much grip.

Would steer away form this, too much downforce just makes things all kinds of nasty on the wheel, most notably more sever snap-backs, and what you learn will bring negative effect when returning to more common drift cars.
