I saw Initial D about 2 years ago, and I thought "hey wouldn't it be really cool if you could do this in a video game?" Then I saw Cuda's Gran Dorifto 2 and I pulled my GT3 out and started practicing ^_^

I hate to say it but... Initial D. I was into cars and racing, but at the time it was drag racing. I hated it though, the whole drag racing scene is stupid and most of the people involved are ********s. So I was hanging out at a comic shop with a friend and reading Manga and my friend recommended Initial D since I was into cars. Well the comic wasn't available here yet so I downloaded all the episodes and watched them and loved it. What more can I say? Three months later I sold my FF for an 86. NO, I didn't buy the 86 because of Initial D. It was on my list of potential cars and a good deal happened to come up so I couldn't turn it down.

Rally Racing...I watched the Rally drivers drift on Tarmac and I thought it looked awesome so I tried it with my Impreza in GT1 and it was cool, but I sucked at it...I didn't play GT2 very much...but when I got GT3 one of the first cars I got was a Lancer EVO because I wanted to drift it (even though I didn't really know it was called drifting)..I still sucked..but after seeing some drift videos and eventually, Initial D, I started using RWD cars to drift and that's when I started getting better...I still suck though

I personally drift my spec car locally, so of course I started right up with the driftin' in GT3 its only right to do so. I have a 1982 BMW 528E race spec tube chassis and more mods...
I say to them stick with your racer trend

very true hehe.
Anyways, for me drifting all started when i was a kid in LA living near little Tokyo. I had lots of japanese friends (and still do =P ) and there older brothers were into Option magazines and videos. I started watching them too and i got so crazed about it. My cousins taught me stick in 6th grade and did my first donut in 7th grade, which scared the crap outta me lol. My ultimate dream in life is to live in Japan and compete in D1...wow i got a long way to go there.

The video of the Veltex Altezza was the first drift video I watched. I have a video of a black 180SX sponsored by Falken Tires that is my true inspiration. As soon as I get back from US Air Force basic training, I'm going to purchase a KA-powered 240SX, and eventually swap the entire front clip with that of an S13.
It's hard to express drifting in a Civic LX. So really the in-game drifting feeds the craving right now.
Drifting is sloooooooooowly being recognized in my state. Look at my signature to see what I mean.

I always loved watching the D1 gran prix clips and options videos. I knew there had to be a way to drift in GT3. I watch gran dorifto and opposite lock and practiced a bunch

2 years ago, I saw Initial D. Yes, it was Initial D that did the inspiration. I tried GT3 drifting, and sucked, but was better than the rest of my friends. I stopped trying because I just didn't know how anymore. Couldn't learn that way (trial and error), plus I finished the game and moved on. Then I saw CudaMan's video, just a few weeks ago (dang he must be loving all this praise); it was by accident because I didn't expect to find drifting videos for GT3--I was looking for the GT4 E3 video. Tried some more drifting. Got a few settings from Gamefaqs. Found out those settings came from people here at GTP, and joined this discussion board to learn some more. Plus, it was a game I needed to revive anyway. Collecting too much dust before.

Do you mean the yellow supra that did the massive burnout when drifting? That thing had some crazy oversteer in the beggining of the video if thats the video you are talking about
