What would you ideal drift be? What technique would you use? What type of turn would it be on? What type of car and setup would you use?


For me my ideal drift is one that links many turns. Just perfectly smooth transitions from one corner to the next. Angle would be the same on each turn for a nice uniform drift. I'd use an FR of course, most likely my 180sx. These types of drifts are what I personally strive for and really get me pumped up. I'm not so interested in long sweeping turns. I love tighter more technical tracks like SS11, Cote d' Azur, and Grand Valley.
 
wide linking turns is one of my favorites. Altezza/GTS-t TypeM on sims going through deep forest. wow it's a bunch of fun
great fun

well me being a so-so drifter, i have my good days and bad days, and the fact that i cant link the 1st and 2 turns on apricot makes it pretty sad, but my ideal drift would b these turns on AH with a flowing motion and have a rough 45 degrees on each drift and same angle, nice smoth transitions too
 
i like to drift my 86 version SS. i like to initiate my drift with an feint for fun but when i race for real i use brake drifting cause it takes less distance to get to the corner. also i for brake drifting i initiate about 50m before the turn and carry out my speed drift. i also try to get the closes apex line to walls and if there no wall, drift with the line and exit with full throttle.

here is a clip you may have seen it before.

I don't think you guys need a picture for it, it's the tight downhill turn series at Cote D' Azore. It's my fave. Starting with the top of the hill heading one direction, and ending at the bottom going the direct opposite. It takes some practice to land correctly, but when it works, it's plainly beautiful.
 
my ideal drift is the only tpe of drift i ever actullay go for.....wich is the 4 wheel drift.
FR or 4WD ive mastered them both...
but my fave and ideal drift is the huge half circle on trial mountain after the tunnel straight.
i start right lane, then i move into the left lane just as i hit the crest, then as soon as im going over the hill i hit e-brake and slide opposite direction back into the right lane, then off the gas slam the wheels and initiate an inertia drift towoard the apex which gets me through half the corner without even having to use throttle, then apex to full throttle out. no countersteer:D
if you ever set yourself up for a drift in wich u only need to hit the gas and brake to make adjustments, in a FR...props, it took me way too long to get that down haha.

My ideal drift is linking a number of turns that is unconventional, or not thought of (I will have a few of those on my next vid). I strive to link as many turns possible, as smooth as possible. I love the long showy drifts, and the tight technical ones. I guess I just love it all.;)
 
My ideal drift is when I can get as close to the outside wall without touching it and be in full opposite lock. It looks very risky in the replays. Also the inside wall is cool too, but its more risky to shoot for the outside.

NO RISK, NO REWARD.
 
My ideal drift woul probably be a one huge drift around one of the many giant turns in this game in my FD or S15. I use feint drift at a somewhat high speed, and then I gradually slow down in the corner and exit the drift at say half the speed I entered.
 
My ideal drift is all about the entrance, and very little to do with the actual corner but the hairpin after the hill on GVS(I think turn 2) is a good place to do this. One massive sliding feint, that starts at the outside of then feints to the then inside where the tires snip the dirt for that extra slide and angle. As the car slides down the inside of the track it will natural move over to the outside where drift shifts to the other side. At this point the car is still quit far from the actual corner but is sliding perfectly sideways down the straight leading up to the turn… Maybe it’s more like 2 fients(almost chokudori)… well actually you can drift that curve at the top of the hill and start from there making more like 3 including the corner. We continue to slide sideways and slowdown for the hairpin where we finally reach the corner and clip the apex while continuing the perfect drift… if there are linkable corners after then link them but usually there aren’t. Anyways this drift is about where the final drift starts, the earlier the better. I think it’s very challenging since you have to from a very high speed then slow down a lot but not too much all while drifting. Also I find it important to hold every drift on the straight as long as possible to avoid the quick “chokudori” look, so that it blends in perfectly into the final drift. Also linking corners that seem to be unlikable provides something incredible to watch. Like on SS5 linking the S curvse all the way to the hair pin then linking that up to the 90 degree corner. I haven't really done that but have seen cudaman do it in I think the first GTPDC. I guess the hard part there is just drifting the straight after the first S curve in one drift all the way next "S type" curve just b4 the hair pin, and then linking the hair pin to the 90 degree turn with one drift. I think he did it in 6 linked drifts but I don’t have that movie anymore so I can’t check, but I think it might look even better with 5 if you can link the second S curve with the hairpin with out doing an extra drift down the shot straight b4 the hairpin. I’m not sure if that’s entirely possible though, but it’s worth a shot. Does anyone have that video from the first drift comp?

Yeah, I know exactly which links your talking about on GVS. I have clips of me doing it with my FC, and S14. It's one of my favorite links. ;)
 
My ideal drift is in Apricot Hill all course if someone removes the long straight and put there some turns.
And same to the straight between hairpins, or just make it a little shoter.

It would be a non-stop drifting all the way.
 
I don't know very well where is my ideal drift, all courses have fun places to drift, I like to drift in all types of curves, I think where I can drift better, and where I like to drift are Special stage 5 and trial mountain, it combine hairpins and long curves. I usually use this cars: Toyota corolla levin Gt-apex, Mazda Rx7 Fc and a FD, and sometimes a sileighty (I drift in GT2).
I did a test to see if my drift is more fast than my grip, 2 cars, almost the same hp (391 with grip and 397 with drift), and I see " my drift is much more fast than my grip", with grip my time in midfield racing was 1:18:569 and with drift was 1:14:328, with 400 hp cars, not bad. My style of drift is 4 wheel drift, Full throttle (sometimes I open the throttle to not spin:D ) at minimum countersteering.
 
I did my test with Nissan Skyline R32 and a Mazda Rx7 infini III (my levin is too underpowered for a course with too narrows :lol: ), I drift more fast with my FC (Mazda Rx7 infini III), than my R32 (Nissan Skyline R32) with grip. Another day, I have battled with a friend, he with a Bp kraft trueno (356 hp) , and I with a Levin (260 hp), I beat him in Rome-night (I give him 150 m on vantage of me), in one lap I beat him. Maybe I with 130 hp Trueno, maybe I can beat him (in the same course).:D But I need too more laps, like 3 laps or 2 laps!
 
Excuse me, the case of the test is real (drift vs grip), I did it in Gt2, FC vs R32, I did it, the case of levin vs bp kraft trueno is true too, I beat him in one (1) lap. The case of trueno with 130 hp battle with a car with 400 hp, isn't true. Except this, the other things is true. Not quote of Initial D, but I have a Trueno with 130, which I can drift.

k.. u can drift a trueno with 130hp:odd:

i didn't know that was possible...:confused:

I used to drift a completely stock AE86...

Psst, got me a custom name thing above my avatar. :D Deserves a party!
