TO LEARN HOW TO DRIFT CLICK HERE AND WATCH THE VIDEOS THAT WILL EXPLAIN STEP BY STEP EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Im just trying to help people who dont have a clue where to start or how to perform some drifting. First of all you wanna get use to drive on a track, you need to learn what the [WIKIPEDIA]Racing_line[/WIKIPEDIA] is and what the apex is.
Make sure you know what [WIKIPEDIA]Oversteer[/WIKIPEDIA] and [WIKIPEDIA]Understeer[/WIKIPEDIA] is also. Then you need to find a good lightweight underpowered FR car (in drift competions, 99% of the top drifters choose cars with the engine in the front and the power is only transmitted to the rear wheels, others use mid engine or rear engine cars) and a good track to start with (mountain road or mountain circuit or a tight corner) Drifting was born on the wet mountain roads in japan. Its the most exciting way to drive a car but is often a little slower then full grip racing. Mountain roads are a very unique environment to drive in and is very different from anything else. In tight corners such as hairpins, you might wanna make your tail slide even when grip racing especially if the corner is downhill cause the gravity makes you go even faster, mix that with some rain and a RWD car and some high rpms and you can probably go as fast or faster by drifting then by gripping, thats when drifting was born. To learn even more about all that you should watch the Initial D Japanese Touge Street Racing Anime Series RIGHT HERE ON YOUTUBE
HERE IS MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF DRIFTING BUT I DIDNT WRITE THIS
Modern drifting started out as a racing technique popular in the All Japan Touring Car Championship races over 30 years ago. Motorcycling legend turned driver, Kunimitsu Takahashi, was the foremost creator of drifting techniques in the 1970s. He was famous for hitting the apex (the point where the car is closest to the inside of a turn) at high speed and then drifting through the corner, preserving a high exit speed. This earned him several championships and a legion of fans who enjoyed the spectacle of burning tires. The bias ply racing tires of the 1960s-1980s lent themselves to driving styles with a high slip angle. As professional racers in Japan drove this way, so did the street racers.
A street racer named Keiichi Tsuchiya became particularly interested by Takahashi's drift techniques. Tsuchiya began practicing his drifting skills on the mountain roads of Japan, and quickly gained a reputation amongst the racing crowd. In 1987, several popular car magazines and tuning garages agreed to produce a video of Tsuchiya's drifting skills. The video, known as PLUPSY, became a hit and inspired many of the professional drifting drivers on the circuits today. In 1988, alongside Option magazine founder and chief editor Daijiro Inada, he would help to organize one of the first events specifically for drifting. He also drifted every turn in Tsukuba Circuit in Japan.
One of the earliest recorded drift events outside Japan was in 1996, held at Willow Springs Raceway in Willow Springs, California hosted by the Japanese drifting magazine and organisation Option. Inada, the NHRA Funny Car drag racer Kenji Okazaki and Dorikin, who also gave demonstrations in a Nissan 180SX that the magazine brought over from Japan, judged the event with Rhys Millen and Bryan Norris being two of the entrants. [1] Drifting has since exploded into a massively popular form of motorsport in North America, Australasia, and Europe. One of the first drifting competitions in Europe was hosted in 2002 by the OPT drift club at Turweston, run by a tuning business called Option Motorsport. The club held a championship called D1UK, then later became the Autoglym Drift Championship. For legal reasons, the business was forced to drop the Option and D1 name. The club has since been absorbed into the D1 franchise as a national series.
And here is a real life video that shows some mountain racing (Touge) action and shows you who the drift king really is.
Hes not the drift king because hes the best drifter in the world, nobody can be the best at drifting, everyone is different. Hes the drift king because he drifts even when hes racing and because hes the 1 who made THE DRIFT BIBLE and hes involved in the making of Initial D and even TOKYO DRIFT and made drifting the internationnal sport it is today and is also a part of the biggest and first drifting competition in the world and a judge, but really that nickname just goes way back like they explain IN THIS VIDEO Racing and drifting go hand in hand and Keiichi is as much of a racer if not more then a drifter.
Many people complain because I make GT5 drift videos and put drift king in the tittle, but that dosent mean I think im the best, its just that I kind of drive like Keiichi Tsuchiya, I handicap myself, when i race im always trying to drift and trying to make it as exciting as possible, I have a no handbrake if possible policy and I really see alot of ressemblance between me and Keiichi Tsuchiya's driving and mentality.
I really like the nissan 350z for drifting in GT5 and I love the Opera/Amuse Gran Turismo RS version, its a good starter car and a very well balanced car, usually a good racing car will also be a good drift car with different settings. I recommend using it to learn drifting, you dont need any settings, just go on eiger nordwand, put some sports tires and there you go. When you start getting the hang of it you can actually gradually put more power but shaving some weight first and trying to specifically adjust the gears for the track soo you never run out of power in the middle of a drift because the gear is too long. You also wanna lower the car and the center of gravity at the same time and stiffen the suspension a little because factory cars have soft suspension for comfort but you dont need that on the race track :S. Augment the steering angle to recover from bigger angles of oversteer. Then you can take off the abs and put more pressure on the rear brakes to make you oversteer when you apply the brakes.... but the settings in gt5 are very limited
VERY IMPORTANT!!! TO DRIFT PROPERLY YOU NEED TO TAKE OFF ALL THE ASSISTS IN THE GAME, INCLUDING THE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITY MANAGEMENT, PUT PROFESSIONNAL PHYSICS, AND YOU SHOULD USE A 900 DEGREE STEERING WHEEL WITH NO POWER ASSISTED STEERING AND YOU SHOULD EVEN TAKE OFF ABS SYSTEM IF YOU CAN
YOU SHOULD EVEN TAKE OF THE DRIVING LINE BUT ITS GOOD FOR PRACTICING AND WHEN TRYING TO GET THE MOST POINTS ON DRIFT TRIAL
You will learn more about drifting by watching the making of then by actually watching Tokyo drift lol
