O.K. I will tell how I drift FR cars but I want to know how to drift FF cars so can somebody help me out.

Oh heres how I drift FR cars:
get sim tires before you drive or else it won't work with low powered cars. When you get up to the turn let off the gas and hit the gas again to bring the back end around. Eventually you will get correct timing and it will get easier to drift. This method is good for beginers. This is how I drift now and when I first got better at drifting, and one thing E-brake makes everthing harder I know I've tried.


Try it even if you are already good but already using a different method. and get back to me with drifting FF cars.
 
Listen to Xzift, FF is not drftable. It's ass dragging, and also very homosexual in nature. If your goal is to become a flaming gay fag, then by all means do it. I however will stick to my heterosexual ways. If you really want to know how it's done, you should ask "motorer1". ;)
 
Please guys, this FF ass-dragging thing has been beaten to death. Instead of emphazing it, how about finding a solution? As long as the corners linkable without using the E-brake, in GTPlanet TECHNICALLY it's drifting. But if like silviadrifter said that it's not HETROSEXUAL drifting, then by all means don't do it.

maybe you should explain to these people what Ass Dragging aka FF Drifting really is.... I know myself.. so you go ahead into giving these people what you think happens in a(n) "Ass Dragging" situation :D
 
Here's the "Technique'' for FF's. Slam the ebrake, pedal to the floor, and then tap the ebrake again, brake to get it straight and repeat..Woohoo!
 
Wrong. You put ultra gripping tires in the front (super-soft) and sims in the back. If you can get the right settings for the Brake controller, like putting all the braking to the back wheels, you can slide without the e-brake. BUT that way isn't nearly as flashy as using the e-brake. i would rather have the e-brake, due to the fact that they are the control of the car instead of the throttle. And in some circumstances, it looks better than some FR drifts. So that is what you want to do if you want to ass-drag with class :lol:
 
Actually, you're both wrong. The closest thing to drifting in FF is left-foot braking, similar to the way I described AWD drifting in a previous thread. You use the gas to pull you through the corner as much as possible, while using your left foot on the brakes to induce oversteer at the same time. It still isn't true drifting though.

Typical american. How can you say something is drifting just because the wheels are sliding? There's more to something than just what it appears to be, you can't call FF sliding the same as drifting just because it looks similar.
 
Nah man listen carefully to what I said:

Which means, even if there's more to it in real life, you'd think the average person HERE knows what FF drifting really is. Typical? Almost everyone call it Ass-dragging.

Aww, ALMOST correct. Oversteer can be obtained by trail-braking alone - it's about the same as left foot braking, only it doesn't require you to use the left foot, and when left foot is not used, it's less accurate, but it still does its job.
 
Oh the famous Monkey D has spoken :odd: :odd: :odd:

Look, Perg is correct on LFB for FFs, but don't agree when both of you don't know what he's talking about. And if you can use a torque converter to distribute more torque to the rear, cool - get with the clutch program. And it's called variable torque/center differential. Two different things.

Like Perg said, LFB is primary used on FFs because IT KEEPS WEIGHT TO THE FRONT SIDE OF THE CAR WHILE ACCELERATING, getting more grip on the front tires. Doing this will turn from understeering to neutral steering/oversteering because less weight are present on the back than on the front, and will use more traction on the rear tires than the front. The slicker the rear tires are, the easier it will oversteer.

Trail braking is simply braking while turning. You're not supposed to do it without the accel because you already used all the traction during cornering, and braking will hurt the tires more.

What I was stressing was that you don't need the left foot to shift weight forward while putting on the gas. By changing the angle and location of your right heel and toe, you can freely apply the amount of gas and brake.

Oh I did mention that Perg wasn't referring to GT3 rite :rolleyes:
 
Y'know what..This really really seems like a useless conversation.. Insted of buying an FF, go buy an FD, and FC or something cool, and do it right..

Hahah, well I suppose you can do it with one foot... I never considered that before. Obviously I'm not speaking from experience but that sounds way more difficult than left-footing it!! But hey, if you can pull it off, more power to ya. =)

And for the technicality, if that's the case I think you just got the terms confused. You're saying that even though it's not real drifting people know what you mean when you say "FF drifting"? I thought you were saying that "by the book" FF drifting qualifies as drifting. Simple miscommunication, that's all.
 
My bad! It wasn't you, it was 19xx. I corrected the post. Man it's only noon and I already need a nap... I feel so dead from so much driving this weekend. It sucks too cuz it rained overnight and is nice and wet today! I want to go drifting but at the same time I don't feel like setting foot outside my apartment.
 
:lol: I know EXACTLY how you feel. So far today, I've done nothing but play GT3 and eat Subway. Mhm mhm. Its a good day. And I can afford to do nothing, and waste my weekend since I got a half day wensday, day off thursday, and friday I'm just not going. :D
 
Hahah, ditto, except BK instead of Subway. Got some nice drifting done while I was out (well, 4 corners, but all quite nicely executed if I may say so), so I feel satisfied. Time to smoke a fatty and relax =)
