Snapback Cars

[MrDrift98]

Some cars, for some reason, has snapback for me.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of snapback? How to tune it off?

 

[SFX_Adavicro]

It mostly has to do with your technique I'm afraid.

 

[zedfonsie]

^ I completely agree snapback isn't the car is yourself in your car movements.
Learning from your mistakes and some time will get you to stop snapping back.

 

[Lazy Liquid]

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is "snapback"?

 

[revsx]

Its a hat with little plastic things used to adjust the size

 

[xKiller_Dx]

^You are right and wrong. He's talking about snapback in his drifting. -.-

[SeanWelland]

Hahaha, this is going terribly off-topic. Snapback is when the car "snaps" back the opposite lock, normally resulting in spinning off.

 

[DriftUnionBurst]

Ohh his Well Done Mixtape is good.

If you're drifting on Comfort hard tires, its your tune. If you're not on comfort hards, thats why

 

[Stavingo]

Trust.

Wrong, it's technique. Car's snap back when the front tires gain more grip.

 

[iamsupernasty]

Yea man, you're simply over-correcting and/or taking your foot off the gas when you get loose.

 

[Crisp]

yeah it can also be due to keeping the wheel locked for longer than you have to once the car starts to come back it go back to center and it works well. This is of course with the wheel

Actually if someone hasnt mentioned it, your car snaps back because your suspension Is too loose in either the Springs or Dampners. Here's why: when you go to drift you are shifting the weight to the Rear wheels but if Ur suspension is too soft the second you brake or take your foot off the accelerator, the weight will go back up front and you'll Lose control.
What you want is the spring rate up front stiffer so lower it down until you don't get the SnapBack or you can try adjusting your Dampener rate first.

Thanks. Helps abit. And another thing, more powerfull car and longer gear ratios. 180 KPH on 3rd gear for Suzuka works for me on every car!

So a snapback car is a car with a wild rear, able to spinout anytime?
Well, there are several reason for that happen, if we analise the tune by itself.

Nope. Snapback is the oposite from spinout. Spinout is the rear loosing too much grip. Snapback is when the front gets too much grip

Oh i got it now... for this situations, speaking about tunning specificaly, i would any, some or all of these:

- Open the front toe slightly.
- Decrease a bit the front dampers.
- Decrease a bit the front camber.

snapback is when you countersteer to much

 

[D-Max]

If you're drifting on Comfort hard tires, its your tune. If you're not on comfort hards, thats why

If your on comfort hards, your on comfort hards. Simple!.

If you get snapback, it's your technique and your countersteering too much when in fact, you should be steering into the spin. Snapback occurs when the car is about to straighten and instead of turning into the spin to keep the drift, you countersteer away from it resulting in loss of control because the front tires have gained more grip than expected and 95% of the time, will also result in A collision with the wall.

I get snapbacks all the time if I countersteer too early

Its usually plug in play. Each tune is different because of user drifting style, and every is dependent on the player.
