Posting threads is a bad way of getting known on GTP, get to know some already skilled drifters and make your name that way.

Entering competitions is always a good way to become well known. Sign up for D1GP or VDC season 3 or EDC

This seems as good of spot as any to post this.
I am an extreme noob to drifting, only started trying it in GT5 last night. Started to get a feel for it with feathering the gas and all that. Still getting embarassingly low points though (not going to mention just how low).
I got the game and system this past xmas and still use the "stock" controller. Is it easier to learn to drift using this controller or would I be better off waiting till I have the wheel?
My biggest problems with drifting right now is oversteer and hitting the corners too fast and slamming into the wall...or doing both in the same corner.
I've seen drifting vids and noticed the front wheels are usually "twitching" from left to right alot to correct the dirrection of the car throught the turn. Tried this myself. Not as easy as it looked. Could be the controler I use or it might be just a matter of practice, not sure yet.
So far, the few successful drifts I do are low speed, low power cars, and very little throttle. I'll hit the e-brake enough to whip my ass-end out then more or less just ease the car through the turn. Or at least, a portion of the turn. Most of the time I need to do this several times in a single turn. If I feather the gas I tend to over do it and spin out.
Also, I've been reading the FR cars are the best to use. This might be another issue. Last night I was using a FF. I'll try a FR and see what results I get.
