No , i don't use the steering whell ...just the normal PS3 controller . IS possibile to do really good Drift with the normal controller ????
It's possible to do a better drift with a wheel only much harder. And setting, Hmm... S1 / N3's are a good tyres to start with, not to grippy that the car will snap back, but at the same time, not to slippy. As for cars, the SL55 AMG merc works well. If i were you i would use a FR car, A RX-7 on S1 tyres would be a good choice.
And this was said from someone who keeps wanting to quit and keeps saying it's impossible. S1 / N3 tires are horrible to start with, SL55 AMG isn't really a good starting car either.
I would start with N1 tires back and front, steering angle at 50, and would use a 350z stock, a ford Mustang, or a tuned cappucchino.
