That's it, I'm done trying to drift. I've read guides, tried suggested cars and settings, looked through over a dozen different settings in the drift depot, and tried all of the techniques, and watched alot of videos, and I still suck at drifting. I'm perfectly content with sliding on DIRT with my Charger.
 
Ok, have fun doing what you do. Some things just aren't made for certain people. If I were you though, I would quit for awhile, then come back to it again about a week later. See if that helps.👍
 
If you want to begin learning how to drift a little better, try out what I did, and drive a Subaru Impreza 22B STi Premium Coupe '98 with N3 tires front, and N2 tires rear. Be careful not to countersteer too much while drifting in GT4, because the snapback would bite you in the ass 500 times more than GT3 would. You should read a bit information in the GT4 tips thread I made, you can see which drivetrain suits you best. Getting the Renault Alpine 1300VE would make you drift, even if you have Racing tires front and back. That car has sloppy handling, and can help you slowly learn about drifting with GT4 physics.

may you don't belive your self as a drifter, may I suggest some car
,Subaru Spec C, GT-skyline 4wd,Lancer EVO 99

try this setting
N2 tyres
AIDS: 0/17/0
Nitrous
Original Suspension
Original Turbo
wheight balalce:200/50
LSD 2 way limited Slip
camber:3.0/5.0
mid -field track
Never ever give up and you will do it
 
Well if hes having trouble drifting in general, i dont think he should start with a 4wd car.

My advice would be not to quit, keep trying, youll get there. :D

This is good advice.
The break helps you "re-set", so you are less likely to be re-doing the same mistakes.

Also, with drifting, I find it helps to just try and get a feel for it, rather than overthink it.
 
Just take a look at the members here trying to help you, I wouldn't give up on it but just keep on trying if I were you.

Don't set your standards too high like I did when I just started off drifting. It will only cause you more problems, rather than correcting your mistakes.

Watch videos, think through about how your car will perform when you try to drift it, and practise alot on your car. Try an FR car, it would be easier in my personal opinion. Try drifts on 90 degrees corners first, they are more easy.
 
It isn't really that hard. I learned to drift on gt3 by watchign videos of cars drifting in real life.

If you can't even do the slightest of drifts, you are doing something really wrong, not just sucking at it.

I learned drifting with that way and my first drift in this section was this

To get the feel for drifting you shouldnt start with 4wd, or with aids on

So even if you got the feel for the 4wd, the aids are doing most of the work.

Do you know any things about baby stages (walking steps)
give him a chance to do a single drift (first step).Why do you want to make every things hard.:scared:

personaly I don't care alot about AIDS things, cause when you see real video
do you ask your self, if that drifter using AIDS ,LSD, turbo,special tyres,NOPE
I dont thinks so, you just say, what a drifter that man, he can drift very well

and please ,please don't start this :banghead:
 
I think you should use whatever you are familiar with.
Bottom Line: There is no Right or Wrong car to drift in. It's different for everyone, you might like to mash the gas, there is a right set up for that, or using the E-Brake. What I'm trying to say is find a car you like then tune it to your liking not someone else's settings, people are different:tup:

Yeah, shangoob has a good point. Just because someone does something in a way that you don't like doesn't mean a thing. You start out with AIDS, then slowly remove the AIDS, and learn about the suspension, tire, brake, LSD, gear setup. Nothing is wrong with using AIDS, some people use it and some people don't. Beginner drifters need to slowly develop skills rather than go all out, ending up like this =|> :banghead::mad:🤬 A good tip in drifting is use N3 tires front, N2 rear, or N2 front, N1 rear, or N3 front, and N1 rear. Just doing that can make any car drift, well except with some FF's. Slowly learn skills, then practice, just like Allen Iverson said. Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice.

thanks for support TuneRVisioN ,and like just like Allen Iverson said. Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice Practice. is the most important
 
I actually started drifting with FR cars and couldn't do it (still can't) then i tried AWD cars (Impreza) and was able to drift or "grift" without any problems. I say tried AWD you have more control of the car IMO.
 
Yeah, and more understeer. A skyline is a good 4WD drift car, or the Subaru 22B Impreza. It's shorter wheelbase helps it oversteer a bit more, especially with the right setup.
 
Go buy a Amuse R1. Its my car i'm learining on, And I cant drift the best, but its the easiest to learn how to initiate a drift!
 
I see what you mean slowly easing into drifting.
But heres A quote from one of the best drifters I know. It is from the FR Drift Guide.
Boundary Layer
4. A Short Note about Driver Aids
by Boundary Layer

“Drifting with ASM Understeer on is like riding a bike with training wheels” ~ Boundary Layer

Seriously, it is. The driving aids are there to allow the game to look after car balance and excess wheelspin for you. With them on your only job is to steer and accelerate, no consideration needs to be given to weight transfer and momentum. Using any driving aids in your drift setup greatly takes away from the overall gaming and drifting experience in my opinion.

I have always viewed their use as allowing the game to do my work for me, they have the ability to take a sim game with a great physics model and dumb it down to the point of being an arcade racer. I guarantee none of the top drifters on this forum use any of the aids, they have learned exceptional car control without them.

If you’re looking for a greater appreciation or understanding of the game physics, car setup and control, and/or weight transfer then their use will only impede your progress. TURN OFF THE AIDS, you will become a better drifter for doing so. If you choose to leave them on, well that’s your choice, but know that you would be building skill and learning technique faster without them.

Shangoob's got the right idea of using AIDS on 4wd, After hours spent with various 4WD's i still like using AIDs becasue it helps me get into the drift a bit better since I have such poor drift entry. I still accept my crappy entry skills, and still strive to improve on it.

I think he's talking about some one knows alittle bit ,how to drift 💡
and what about our friends

Its a Beginners Complete FR Guide to Drifting.
Im not saying its wrong to start with aids, but it is a lot more beneficial if you dont have them on, I started without and know many more have started without aids. Of course its hard in the beginning, but thats what makes Drifting Drifting. :)

Don't get so frustrated! :-) Remember that drifting, while fun, is not the fastest way around most corners (there are some exceptions of course, depending on the course, the car and the surface you're driving on). Your problems could also, as has already been suggested, depend on the vehicle you're trying to use...

I have a ton of fun drifting, but I don't worry that in most cars I'm not very good at it. I get caught by snap-back too much in almost all cars except a few of the RR and MR types, which drift nicely with less counter-steering than other configurations. I'm also not too bad with a few of the older less grippy models like the Jag e-type. But, I also drift almost exclusively on corners where I feel it is really the fastest way to go. I'm not especially interested (at this point) in exhibition drifting and have not practiced it.

Try the old Lancia Stratos Rally car (the wedge-shaped MR model) for some easy and exciting drifting. It is a great car for easy high-speed drifting.

like you play 100's times on same corner just to make one good drifting:)

Um, for the GTPDC's i entered, i probably did do at least 100 runs on one track. You had a month to do it so people had time to perfect their run, but i sucked back then so even after a month, my run was crappy. :lol:
 
The way I see it, if you use Aids, suit yourself, but if you ever decide it's too easy, you'll have a hell of a time switching them off.
 
um first of all a charger is really heavy so it will be harder on someone like you
and drifting takes awhile to perfect to mostly everyone so really if you want and easy car to drift go with the try the 93 s14 silvia or the toyota supra
 
i started out with a supra
i couldnt get it to start a drift without using the e brake though;;;im not that good at the suspension setting stuff
