- Same as PSN but I dont use it.
I can drift like the guy in (3 days of practice). I also have the same skill as he and I learned by myself. It took me 2 days though to learn. But I'm having trouble in hairpins like the ones in Eiger Nordwand. Can you help at some point?

lol thnx but i was just stating that in general
Well up for some lessons on drifting.
Got the nissan K13 tuned as someone said in the drift tune thread but struggle badly to either 1. initiate a drift ( end up doing a doughnut) or 2, maintaining a drift ( will end up gripping and going opposite way or end up as 1 a doughnut).
Got cash to buy other non tuned cars if thats a better starting point than the upgraded K13. In UK with headset.

Hello,
I'm interested in getting drifting lessons. Should I have a mic/headset?
I try to drift with a DFGT but seems to be to slow. The car often oversteer into the inner wall or if I try to countersteer it snaps back and goues outwrads.
If i go down a stright line and makes a little feint, it quickly turns into a bigger and bigger tailswing and eventually the car makes a completet turn. I cant really stop the car from wiggling more and more from side to side. Online I can see people going in a nice S-shape down the straight all the time. so im doing someting wrong.....?

Ok some advances was made today...
First I unlocked the Top Gear Test Track. Then I took my 350Z for a spin on these wide airstrips that has plenty of room.
At first I was only going randomly all over the place...but after a while I tried to get this swaying motion going in first gear. Do you call it manji? After a few minutes of trying that I could slowly link one sway to another in a slow but controlled manner.
It was then just to get up into second gear and start again. First 5 or 10 minutes in 2 gear, was no success. I was making more doughnuts than swaying. But suddenly it happened. I went kind of straight ahead but swayed from side to side in a effortless manner. The wheel was not resisting, actually it kind of told me how to do it. I pumped the gas, and flicked the wheel easily with my loose fingers from side to side. What happiness! I had a big grin on my face. Every now and then I spun out because it is a delicate balance going on.
After an hour or two of this swaying drifting on the test track I now can say that I have more control than before! (not enough though
) But It made me go and try a few laps on Tsukuba and I set a personal record with a wheel. Yippie.

Drift trial is not a reference of how good your drifting is as that mode is a complete fail.

Is this drift school still going?
I've reached another brick wall with my G25 as haven't been practicing much over the last few weeks and as I have the flu this weekend I'm trying to get back into it

Red-Rice,
Unlock the Top-Gear test track if you haven't already.(You have to get gold in the first beginners special event, the VW vans...check on youtube!) These last days I have spent several hours there. I,m going up and down the long airstrip in 4th gear, doing about 100 km/h. While doing this I try to slide from side to side using the complete with of the track.
Slowly slowly does my perception on how the car behaves increase. Its very delicate. I'm amazed of how little off you have to be to totally screw up. A little to much throttle, or steering angle and away goes the car.
This gives me a much better understanding and also better control. I now go on to online drift lobbys and drive there with others. Not as good as them, but I can make my way around the track in a near controlled way
My hat hat is off for all those that races past me and just links every corner with lots of smoke. I cant go like that yet. I slide in and drift around the bend with little throttle.
Long bends like the first right at Tsukuba is particular hard. I do not exactly know what entry speed i need. nor the correct angle. sometimes I can hold it maybe half the way through. I smash into the inside or gets an kickback and goes to the outside. Only once have I made about 80-90% of that curve. So It is getting closer....
But continue to play with the car and eventually You will get a better understanding of how it handles. From there on it only gets better. I think I am going to be able to drift properly in a few weeks, hopefully.

I am also interested. I am using the driving force. I got a mustang and a silvia. I may need to change setups, but I will use any car I have to

I'd really appreciate lessons, as I'm struggling a bit grasping drifting. But I'm not sure if the time difference would be a problem. I'm 16 hours ahead of Durham USA.

Old thread. I'm reviving it because I wouldn't mind teaching some people again. Go to the first post to learn more about it.

I wouldn't mind being tuaght. I've done about a 7 hours of drifting on my g25 and help would be quite nice as none of my team have a wheel.
