I'm practicing at least threes hours a day. I'm getting better but often oversteering and doing 360s.

This is becoming an addiction.
Two months ago, I was so enveloped in getting the fastest lap times, which I suppose is a strive for perfection, but drifting is all about the perfect line and smoothest control. I find it far more interesting and exciting than just driving really fast.
Getting good at anything requires practice and the more you practice the better you get. I don't really think of it as practice though. I just do it because it's fun, and I get good at it naturally. Plus the replays are a rewarding reflection of progression.
How long I do it for depends on what kind of mood I'm in.
Sometimes I'll sit here (tv is next to computer) in my room and drift for an hour and take a break by talking to people or reading the threads on this forum or whatever, then go back to it for another hour or two. Sticking to that kind of pattern for an entire evening.
Smoke a bowl.
Chill.
Drift.

I can teach you how to drift AWD's without countersteer.... That's my specialty... Also, I can fully link Laguna Seca with a FR....
Send me a PM, and I will do all I can to help...
Woot!!!

I try to get in at least an hour a day. I'm doing it for fun but I also want to be better. No point in just "doing it" with out getting any better. I look at it like golf. It's really fun, and you can get better while playing just for fun. But once you start keeping score, forget about it!

I've been Drifting for close to 2 years... But i don't think that i'm an good, so i just started racing my Ghost and Drifting with it.
When i first started i drifted for about 4 or 5 hours (
I don't remember) but now since i don't have anything to do, i'll talk on the phone and Drift (my Girlfriend is needy )

i started about 4 months ago. I was really devoted in the first 2 weeks then gradually i slowed down. I get 30 minutes a day perhaps? I play 3 days out of the week

I've been messing around alot and i do know how to drift....except that I can only do it on several locations at different tracks...if I try to do it in one track I "F" up and spin or something. Although I did get very lucky one time in Trial Mountain back in 2002 and I saved it cuz I did kinda good!! and like I do it everyday I try at least 2 hours...I work from 11:00pm ---till 7:00am Wends - Sunday so I have about 4 hours of each day that I do this,,,,,so far I havent been able to replicate what I did in 2002,,,but hey practice makes everything better no?
oh man Ive been trying to drift with the F1 car....but it does that naturally..especially at the Tokyo R246 track at the end of the lap...cool!!!

Talk the trash somewhere else, bud. You'll find that it takes more than 3 posts to give you enough credibility to be able to call someone out like that.drifter xYOUR AN IDIOT WHEN U POSTED THAT GT3 WASNT EVEN OUT FOR 3 YEARS STUPIDASS AND I KNOW FOR A FACT I COULD OUT DRIFT YOUR ASS WITH MY CHASER,FD AND S.S VERSION *****👎
Read the rules here. There are links in my signature.

Sorry you got so butthurt. I don't recall when GT3 got released. When I posted that, I made an approximate guess. I had lived at my current apt for 2 years when I poset that. I had GT3 before I moved here. So I said ALMOST 3 years. Dry your tears....

Hmm... well it takes time, techique, and confidence if noting else. If you feel like your crap (even worse than a certain idoit a few months back...)... you will most likley not perform well. But if you try hard you will.
I think the question though was how long in a secession does someone pratice for, but I could be wrong.
Plus this thread is a few months old, but then again I dunno, maybe we should let an Admin say something about it. I would stay out but I figure why not save some time and try to be of some help to someone.
Plus, you've just started if' it's a week, it takes time obviousy, for me it took me a good 8 months (but only so because the times I could practice were anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks...) of fragmented times, I'm guessing in all days maybe just over 3 weeks, maybe shorter. Just keep at it and have some confidence. Trust me, it'll help.
Not sure what else to say, till later.

When I have time.....it's kinda hard to when most of my time is consumed by making my website and learning the various web development languages (html 4.01, css3, xhtml, dhtml, php, xml etc...). No thanks to having 3-4 hours of homework everynight. I could whine all day about how little time I have (not to be *****y), but I honeslty haven't drifted in a loooooooong time, I use my spare time on career stuff.
Wow, I sound like a total nerd up there.
