Hi, Im a newbie to GT5...

[No Name Drift]

It can be better to add weight, but not always. It depends on the car, and on you. But the ballast option can be an important aspect of tuning that is overlooked by a lot of people. A drift car doesn't need to be the lightest it can possibly be (as opposed to say, a time attack car), but rather, a drift car needs to be properly balanced, and weight distribution is an important part of that.

Thanks for that... In my drift technique it work without any ballast. But maybe i really should try a little bit in my beetle..

GT5 functions very differently from what you're used to (FM4) in this regard. About 230 cars in the game are "Premiums"; cars created from the ground up for GT5 on the PS3 (with some seen in GT5 Prologue). They're multi-piece car models with proper panel gaps and fully modelled interiors. The other 800+ cars in the game are "Standards"; last-generation models from the PS2 or PSP days, single-piece models with painted-on panel gaps and, for the most part, no interiors (save for convertible/open-top cars). These can be found in the cycling UCD or the OCD, and some of them are won after completing certain events. The unfortunate side-effect is you could be waiting months to find the car you want... unless you get a friendly person to gift one to you!

If you've got any other questions about getting settled into GT5, this thread should answer nearly everything you want to know, and more. Welcome to the 'Planet 👍
