on a serious note, I drive a wrx in real life. And GT3 is a very good training tool for me when the racing season is over..

In my experience in R/L and in the game, most AWD STREET CARS or PRODUCTION CARS sold to the public are designed for understeering and stability (since all 4 wheels can spin and none are really dead weight). To purposely lose traction, you can do two things in a stock car

1) turn in like you normally would for a race line, carry more speed than usual than a grip line, and let off the gas.. the car should swing out naturally.

2) you can trail brake the turn hard by loading up the front wheels and go in at excessive speeds mentioned above.. you really have to toss the car around.

If you modded your car, you might want to read up on "setting up a car" and understand what all those suspension and differential settings are really about.. GT3 is pretty real.

I have a WRX that I use for daily driving with HKS coilovers. I also have a WRX in GT3 that is set up the same degree in suspension and power and gear ratios just so I can see how much the game differs from the real life, and I can tell you right now, SONY did their homework.

It's nice to see someone who can finally varify, that you should use real life suspension, and just general tuning in GT3. That's what I use on most of my drift cars, and it works great. If you want to learn how to drift, study the real life counterpart, and you will be drifting in no time IMO.;)
 
I am with you on that Silviadrifter... I used to tune my cars to a rediculous high spring rate (still do for some cars for grip driving at 17kg and up) and slam the car for looks, use to run on zero camber and zero toe.. nowadays, I detune the car from the higher limits because it's not needed and my driving skills/senses have gotten better to know how to adjust my driving.. the car doesnt need to change all that much, the driver does, IMHO.

After you settle down DTR, you can PM Catch-My-Drift? and ask for his settings.......They worked great for me!!!!

Either that, or do mostly-stock on sims or normals......just some modest tweaks on your suspension, balance your breaks towards the front, and move the VCD to 10%

Full custom suspension
Breaks and Balancer
LSD full-custom
Racing Flywheel
Carbon Driveshaft
Racing Tranny
VCD controller
 
go to options put steering setting for your wheel on professional not on simulation, that will fix your problem. Unless of course you are using the controller. In that case just practice and fool around with settings till you get it.
