read the threads that say setup help, drift help, etc. and pratice. you cant just go out and expect to be a good drifter. good drifters got so good because they pratice ALOT.
 
Yeah, all the people online help a lot. Best advice (which is given by everyone but can never be said too many times) is to practice. Get a couple of days, and just do nothing but drift several different cars atleast 2 hours everyday and you'll get it. Try from low HP to high HP. Go from Trueno (AE86) to the Cadillac Cien (Concept) and when you get good with those, you'll almost be able to drift anything. As for the DS2 (which is what I use to drift), when countersteering, go back and forth, countersteer and let go, if you try to countersteer the whole time and you don't have the correct angle of countersteer (too much or too little), your whole drift will go wack-o!! So watch out for that... also... throttle control!! Very important!
 
o yeah...entering speeds are around 30-60 mph so remember to BRAKE A LOT be4 u enter the corner...then u feint and that'll do the trick...tap the gas and counter steer until u feel the car start to correct itself then stop countersteering and full throttle...good place to practice imo is tsukaba

good luck
 
...spyder that's how you countersteer? =O wow, Anyways I keep a constant pressure on the steering on my controller, as in, when countersteering I keep it at a low angle until I gotta whip it around for the next corner. YES practice practice practice. OH and check out the drifting thumbnails thread. Or look at my pics link can be found in my sig. eheheh I'm not very good but it's a start.
 
Yeah, my left hand coordination isn't the best, so I can't keep low angles on my DS2... so I just go BACK and FORTH =Þ
 
Do or controler or the wheel, not both, that doesn't work...

PRACTICE verry much and don't switch to much cars in the beginning...
 
hehehe I was born left handed. But now I'm right handed. Granted, I can still do everything as well with my left hand =)
 
wow thats cool, wish i could do that!! i can only write with me right hand, lol...
 
COOL!
I'm glad there's some new drifters out there, cuz it's boring talking to the same old people XD(just kidding guys).

anyway, I've found the most important thing for drifting in GT4 is practice....
also, if you have GT3 practice with that and then go to GT4 and try what you've learned, the drifting engine in GT3 is better.
