Hey all, first allow me to say hi to the great GTPlanet community! I'm glad to be a part here, for however short or long I may stay.
I wanted to go ahead and ask a few questions involving drifting using my current experience. I recently picked up a well set up S15 from a friend that focuses on the rear tires grabbing traction and stability, much like how I hear a proper drift car should be presented. However, despite this very well done set up, I am having issues, whether they may be related to the car or driver. Mainly, my issue is breaking traction - with higher grip tires (SH), im having issues producing transitions without losing all traction whatsoever or regaining all traction - my other issue at hand is the sharper turns, where I find e-braking to be of good use, but whilst rapidly flicking the handbrake, i most often lose all speed, to be expected when the e-brake is incorrectly used. I was simply wondering if I could receive knowledge of how to correct these driving missteps or tune the car more effectively for my style.
Another small question, if I may, is how the properly turn into a corner, where I must ask whether a drift should focus on out-in-out, or solely focus on turning wide out, and staying on the outside of a turn into the exit.
Thanks for the help guys!
