Dont laugh but i just started playing another car simulator/race game and i cant drift for sh*t. Anyone got any tips! drifters make it look so easy, i just end up doing a burnout or spinning out completely
Whats a good drift speed, gear, handbrake needed or not neccasarily etc
obvioulsy i am using RWD, im not that thick

Havan`t done it for a while, but a key to it is having the momentum to keep sliding. 2nd or 3rd gear, and obviously LSD or a welded diff helps alot, personally, i don`t ue the handbrake, and i`ve seen people drift up to 100mph in which you need to have big balls...

I`m sure someone will help me out but its about getting the car in the right position from the start, turning sharply on a bend and applying the accelarator at the same time (i`d try using second).

are yo on about a game or real drifting?
people often think that you need to keep the throttle planted, and having done some drifting in a car, that is not the case at all
too much man foot will end in a spin.
you are constantly dipping the clutch when the front end looses grip, or start to spin, try to keep to about 1/2 - 3/4 throttle until the car is balanced then you can use full power
different corners and speeds use different initiations
a slow tight corner will need a clutch kick, keep the throttle on and quickly dip the clutch and dump it to get the wheels spinning
a long straight into a medium speed corner can use the handbrtake on the straight to get the car sideways, then release the clutch and apply power
or you can do it via weight transfer, scandinavian flick type of thing to transfer the weight and get the car sideways
ive tried it on GT4 and its almost impossible as you cant dip the clutch etc
just a RWD car and do it for real lol

Dan 2nd I found ok too but I just couldnt get on with 3rd as Im a typical cossie owner who relies on power to make the back come out, which is NOT how you are meant to drift really, its all about weight transfer, im just not good enough at it, lol
My nova I was doing it in 3rd at much higher speeds but thats got more than double the power of your sierra.

you just need BIG BALLS!
scandanavian flick and plant the throttle does it for me, although without a LSD you gotta get that sideways momentum up a lot before applying opposite lock
also as stated above, toggle between 20% and 80% throttle until the car sits sideways nicely
and dont do it near kurbs

If you going fast enough throttle position and therefore having an open diff dont matter.
So its much harder and becomes a pain in the ass very rapidly, but it your properly hanging it out with an open diff it at least proves you going balls out and not just relying on power oversteer.

On a game you can crash 1,000,000,000 times. Try doing that IRL ![LOL](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
I have never drifted with a lsd. Only with a, slightly lowered, standard Sierra. Imo, the trickiest part is getting it to center again. It's kind of unpredictable when the rear tyres are going to grip again.

Like most things once you have got over te shit i might total the car, you start to get better.
Most people i know with decent power rwd shit it the minute the back end starts to get a little wobble on, me in my E30 i just get the fuck on and go for it, try new things, new ways and teach myself...As stav has said before its all about seat time.

if you go to garage, then car, you should be able to use the xrt!!
You have to pay to unlock or use the keygen but that would be illegal and irrisponsible
