Attempting No Setup Drifting (Video)

[Crumpet]

I have always used some kind of setup on my cars, I usually make my own, or get them from here. So, being bored and all, I bought a SILEIGHTY from the Used Car Dealership. The reason I bought this car, which I now love, is because I wanted to try drifting in a different way for the first time. So after buying the hard comfort tyres I hit Eiger Nordwand. The drifting didn't really look as good, and the angle wasn't as close to the wall, also the car wasn't all the way sideways. Though I enjoyed this a lot more than drifting with some setup, because the car felt so pure, and it always kept me happy and in control. What a great car!

*Used a controller.

Pretty cool test It's interesting you say that you enjoyed it a lot than drifting in a setup car. It seems to me that there's a few instances of this, namely drifting on comfort or sports tyres. Comforts make the car drift easier, so bigger angles and more smoke is produced, but I still enjoy the challenge of drifting a car that doesn't really want to drift at high speed, similar to this I guess!

I always try to get the rear end out at the Cape Ring Bowl, no matter what car I drive ^

Wow... you're doing that with a controller?

Clearly I'm not doing it right. hahaha.

Started doing it in Prologue, need to buy a wheel though.

Nice, I will add this to the Directory. Stock drifting is fun though you do learn some things from it.

Most of my drifting is done on stock setups. Then if I feel that the car is worth it, I'll tweak a few things just enough that it doesn't upset the car's natural balance.

I'm just now understanding what tweaks go in the right direction to fix any problems though, so eventually I imagine I'll do a lot more once I figure more out.

I think I know what you mean, I have tried a lot of cars that I can drift, yet not very well. Like the Prius (Yes, I bought one)
