I decided to have a go at drifting last night for the first time in all my years playing Gran Turismo (almost 20, heaven help me).
I picked my S15, Autumn Ring, CH, no aids and hit the track... and it was hilarious.
After countless restarts I actually started to get a feel for it and so far my top score is just under 7000 points. This is for an entire lap and no doubt you guys are scoring more than that in single corners but I really am an absolute beginner so be gentle with me on that point 
Anyway, I need some advice for suspension settings for that car. Actually, probably all tuning settings if you can be bothered. I'm probably suffering the same problems all newcomers face; car spins right around and my point count is reset, or the car doesn't lose traction at all and I score 0 points for that corner (the usual I'm sure). I'll also admit that most of my "big scores" are gained when I'm about to spin out but slam on the brakes and grind to a halt facing almost sideways off the track. The points still count but it looks crap.
Also gears - I find slowing down until I'm in 2nd gear before initiating a drift around a corner seems to yield the best results. Is this the wrong approach?
Basically... I need some total beginner advice and maybe some reassurance to stick at it.
