new drifter here....

[pepsiblast08]

Yeah, so I've been playing GT5 since launch, but recently wanted to get into drifting. I'm using a DS3 as I can't get anywhere near affording a wheel(broke college student). I can't seem to even get started right. I hit the gas with the comfort soft tires and spin immediately. Any tips/pointers from the pros on here?

Thanks in advance.

Using my Ford F-150 lightning fully tuned and that may be part of the problem. I think it has like 750 horse.

I recommend the Mercedes C63 AMG or Mazda RX7 (FD3S). These are great drift cars.

Check craigslist for wheels. I picked up my dfp for $40 from some old couple.

I just started drifting last night.. I'd consider myself to be an above average driver and it can be quite a challenge.. but I came across something that is working well.

The old school Supra in the dealership! I kept it stock except the suspension and exhaust and I find myself drifting all the corners on Tsukuba pretty well; give it a shot.

Although a drifting rookie, I think it makes an excellent beginner car because I'm finding myself holding the sideways on the corners with ease; I've also tried the old school RX7 which also works nice but it needs some upgrades in order to stay sideways for longer periods.

Hoping I can learn this art; I got a fully tuned 370z that is just dying to slide around.

For beginner drifters, I suggesting trying to drift your car when it has less horsepower and slowly add mods to it. IMO I think this helps to drift a range of FR cars with different HP.
