I have just started to try drifting with a Nissan 300ZX. I originally brought it for one of the race series, but even in standard setup it felt like it wanted to go sideways. This is going to take a lot of practice to get good at, but here are a couple of photos of my first attempts at Motor Land.




I was wondering which views people use when drifting. For racing in GT4 the internal view gives a much better impression of speed and of actually driving the car. However I am finding that it is easier to drift the car from the external view as you can see the angle of the car relative to the corner and its position on the track. I am sure it all comes down to personal preference in the end, but would be interested to see others thought on the relative merits of the different views.
 
roof cam. i like being able to see my hood and like to judge it from there. with the bumper cam i end up doing less actual drifting or spin out. from the back outside the car doesnt give me the right feeling of car control, i need to be in (or on the roof of) the car.
 
I use the external view for exhibition drifting... I use the hood cam for racing and race drifting... The bumper cam is an has always been useless in my opinion...
