Trueno Drift

I been driving in GT series since the first one came out since I was 10. The first I ever heard of the word drift was that mysterious question of what kinda settings you wanted in an arcade race, lol. Then about a year ago a friend introduce me to Initial D, and I was like "well thats great! whats the real thing look like?" so I started kinda getting into real drifting a bit, not to mention I naturally fell in love with the AE86 (dont believe me? I bought one!).

I decided to give it a try a few days ago when I came across this site and found some decent settings. I used the settings I found as a basis to create my own. Here's a short vid (its only like 13 seconds cuz of the time limit on my digital camera). Its not really the best I can do, just something I did with the cam cuz I was bored, but I thought I'd post it up to see what you guys think. I'm sure this is total newb stuff to most of u. I've been trying to focus on using the natural inertia of the car to keep it sideways around the track without having to use the brake. You'll see I actually messed up in this vid when entering the 3rd corner, I allowed the car to re-gain grip and had to use the brakes and gass to break it free again, I usually dont do that on this series of corners, its usually all inertia-based. O well, win some u lose some.

Soooo, comments, suggestions, tips, do's donts etc? This was all done on an analog controller. my wheel doesnt come for another 2 weeks I'm afraid.

awww man, 19xx, thats not fair, you got to go to D1? GRRr, lol. I wanted to go. I hear Ueo was quite the sensation in his revolver sports AE86. I've seen a few vids of his driving, he's got really good control. I shudder to think how much $$$ he's dropped into that car.
 
Nah I was just hosting pictures for somebody LOL, I didn't go, to damn far to drive there

You got smooth drifting from that 86, keep it up :D
 
good drifts. Not really that much smoke though? I take it your not on sims? YOU GOTTA BE WITH THE TRUENO!!!! lol. It is the only car i use sims with. But good work, keep it up, try and get more sideways.
 
Yeah, thanks. But it doesnt make me any cooler. :( :lol: It just means I must be unknowledgable and post alot to make me seems better, but in reality, I just have no life, I just sit here, play GT3, and post crap.. Ahh, its the life..
 
About the drifts, they're good and they work, but I didn't see any life in them. Where's the "I'm gonna clip your legs off with my tail while you're walking down the sidewalk" attitude? Let me give you a tip on the 86, I personally feel taht if you get the hang of sharp drifting it on normals then the drifts on sims and slicks look much more fool of confidence.
 
Excellent drifts, 86! You have very good control. I'm a strong advocate of learning how to drift smoothly before trying to do extreme angles, as that forces you to better learn the car's limits and allows you to predict it more and become more consistent. Seems to me that a lot of people here are only trying to get as sideways as possible regardless of whether or not they are using proper form. I think you have great potential, and I look forward to seeing you improve! You should check out my website in my signature, judging by your style I believe you would like the settings I've posted, maybe even learn a few tricks that you can use on your own ride.
 
Ah, the almighty advice from the pergster. Advice in most cases contradictary to my own. By the way perg, how's it going lately?
86, I say keep practicing cause you got the potential brother. ^_^
 
Hahah, that is because you are my nemesis from the day I signed up on this board! I will destroy you!!! :P

Anyway, it's been going good. I've been so busy lately though I haven't had much time for GT3! The local rally season is picking up so that has me busy, plus there is a huge drifting scene beginning to emerge in my area which has me busy planning local meets and such. Spent all of Friday and yesterday driving around with the local 86's looking for a good driving road for our Nissan/Toyota/Mazda BBQ next weekend. I'll be sure to post pics and videos. What've you been up to? Get your ass whipped into shape while you were gone? Heheh
 
Hehehe, very much so. Those 2 mile daily runs and 100's of pushups do wonders for getting into shape. I'm at tech school now so it's only a matter of weeks before I can go buy myself a car and get to driving again. As for GT3, I'm just as good as I ever was but I don't get enough practice to advance, what with school and all.
