changing directions

[jdm_chris]

hey im having trouble changing directions like on suzy and hsr s-turns. I have a wheel so all you wheel users give me tips. Sometimes i get it right but other times i spin out plz give me some tips on that manji too

I usually manipulate the wheel in such a way that I can exit out of one corner slowly so it's not going to snap around on me. But you can't be afraid to whip the wheel around.

i think of drifting just like gripping sometimes. when u want to change direction just steer in that direction. in the case of drifting it is just like initiating a whole new drift from another one. so just flick the steering wheel like u did entering the corner and counter. give that a go and see how it turns out.

it takes some practice to get used to, but for me to slow down the switch back swinging motion, i pump the brakes once or twice.

ex. when drifting a left hand turn while still drifting in the left direction, i hit the brakes a bit, and then when it switches back it slows down the momentum a bit. It's hard to explain, it's something you need to FEEL in the wheel with the force-feedback. Other then that Just let the wheel do the spinning and Catch it when you reach your desired angle. Practice makes better. 👍

manji is really easy , imo get something with a lot of torque like the er34 and try doing slow manji like in second gear or something like that and ull get the trick but really its all about practice
i'm not good at giving tips but meh lol

I could do a vid of the steering work if that can help you , let me know

Manji is easy. Floor until you want to change directions, then let off and don't get back into the throttle until you got control of the next sideways action.

If you watch this video you can see what I'm doing kinda.

Keep in mind... more throttle... more angle... more counter... more snapping back.

it's a balance
