How to maintain long(er) drifts?

[SixCylSamurai]

Shift it into D for drift!

I would say; add more power!

This.

^I have no idea what Adavicro is trying to do there....^

No steering inputs, lay down the throttle be sure to be on the right line, Keep the wheel as steady as possible and ride it out, If your car will only do so much don't pressure yourself into trying pointless drifts.

In some cases I may agree with twitching the steering but at the same time that creates friction, with friction you have loss of speed, without speed you have no drift.

To be honest, my opinion...Just drift.

Just let the car go, see what happens, try to be smooth with every action.

Bingo! Watch your line! Also Watch ur Entry speed. Try Drifting the Levin which is a Low HP car and you'll learn. Adding HP to prolong your Drift is the Beginners way of doing it, but ultimately u are not learning. Trust me make other adjustments first. During PSN downtime I went back to my Levin and been drifting that and it's bettered my drifting across all my cars!

I've been practising some more, and have gotten closer and closer to getting that long tunnel in one drift. The improvement came down to a combination of physical practise and car tuning. I have been able to get all the way through the tunnel once, and it was a great feeling to have finally accomplished it. Now I'm trying to improve to the point that I can do it consistently, at will.

I have to say, though, that, with a bad tune, you're setting yourself up for failure. When I've finally got the knack of it, I'm going to try to write a guide on wheel drifting.

So next you need to lower the HP to 250 if you truly want to mimic the Initial D "total balance" tune. I haven't tried it yet but I think it's doable even with the stock weight of the FC.

find the point at which your counter steer and your throttle are equal, this will make your car drift sideways for how ever long you want it. as soon as you off set that balance you should clutch kick the car and repeat the previous process. 350 bhp is a fine amount for your car, just keep trying

Yes, I am definitely finding that there is a sweet spot for each long corner, and if you don't get it, you fail in any number of ways: go to wide into the grass or wall; lose too much speed, then hit the inner wall or grass; spin out; lose the drift angle and fall into a grip driving line. But if you get into that sweet spot, it's somewhat easy to just keep going -- you're basically just keeping a balance between losing or gaining the angle, and losing or gaining speed.

I continue to practice.

i recommend using manual or creating.my own course to start on.with long turns.
