What is the best way to start drifting wheel?

[anthaliscious]

I got my wheel on Monday and somewhat got the hang of it but I find my exit speed really slow. Any help out there?

What wheel is it?

 

[TankAss95]

I found Eiger was the best place to practice drifting to start with. You need something light, rwd, and not to powerful to get the hang of things. Drifting is a bit like learning to ride a bicycle - takes time and patience to get it right, but when you finally manage it it's so rewarding. Well, drifting maybe was not nearly so good as learning to ride a bike but you get the point.

Also counter steering takes a ton of practice. Put the steering sensitivity to 7 and see if it's any easier.

An s13 with low hp a short gearbox and a LSD on autumn ring mini. Keep practicing till you can link the whole track from start to finish.👍 that's how I learned.

This 👍
I Learned the same way

Yo same wheel it literally takes practice and having a feel for the counter steering... also, what problems besides slow corner exit speed do you have? This way we can better help in your area of need

 

[anthaliscious]

Spinnig out, snapback, and just overall really slow.

just try driving fast and not slid coz as u push the car u will make it slide out and just get used to catching it so u dont spin out then once u get used to that then try drift

Spinnig out, snapback, and just overall really slow.

Spinning Out - Too much throttle, not enough countersteering.

Snapback - Front tyres gain too much grip.

All I can help out with for now.

Best way to enter corner for begginers: handbrake!
I started using an m3 completely stock and drove it on tsukuba, ediger and special stage. For slow to medium speed corners i turned in to a corner wile holding the e brake for half a seccond. The power was enough to slide bout not enough to spin all of a sudden. I use handbrake for tight corners still on say the first corner on tsukuba.

I always show people this video to help them out with how steering control works looks:

Why does this same question get asked every other day? Not just the drifting sub-forum either.
Don't mean to sound like a jerk but lets be real.

Just practice. Yeah, you will make a lot of mistakes during your practice but you'll definitely learn from them.

The handbrake is not only for beginners! 👍 it can make for some very early sliding entries d1gp style and can link some sections that are rather far apart. It's still my preferred method of entry.

i'd have to say eiger short course in a car with around 200hp. it's really easy to learn here because of the corners being so tight you don't need too much speed, and the lower speed makes it easier to feel what your tires are doing through the wheel. it's going to take time to learn but try to be mindful of how your using the brakes, throttle, and steering at each corner. good luck

I always show people this video to help them out with how steering control works looks:

Nice video! Ae86 with a F20C I believe! To be honest wheel drifting in gt5 will never equate to real life, say like in that video. Anyone else think the wheel in gt5 (fanatec 911turbo but could be any) just doesnt quite self steer enough? Caster improvements? It always has felt spongey like bad power steering. Just me maybe because there are some awesome wheel drifters out there, just keep practicing!!

The counter-steering on the Fanatec wheels is adjusted by using the "Dri" setting on the wheel and that is applied as a percentage of your "FFB" setting. It will never be exactly like the G25, but I'm happy with mine.

The premium Nissan Z34 08' will drift easily and smoothly bone stock with CH tires. You can drift this car for free before buying it by going into the course maker and selecting test drive button for a custom track. Just turn off the traction control and select comfort hard tires and start drifting. I recommend a wide version of a "Toscana" track. The Silvia S15 00' also drifts easliy with bone stock suspension, but it needs to be fully lightened and all the engine mods except turbo.

A car with the front end that bites in too hard while counter-steering can be smoothed out by going stiffer on the front springs and reducing the front camber slightly.

I'd highly recommend a stock Toyota ft86 on comfort hards , it teaches you the basics before you move on to custom cars

I had a bit of a breakthrough today with drifting. I try every few months and quickly get fed up spinning out into Walls etc.

I was racing a unmodified merchant cl 300 from the new car dealer ship and found it very predictable.

So I took it to a drift lobby, comfort hard and I gave it a sports cat and sports exhaust so I could hear the thing over other people's cars.

The breakthrough was using this car with internal cockpit view. Countersteerinng is a zillion times easier than external views.

I too use a dfgt so our situations are the same.

I am having a blast on the short version of Suzuka I highly recommend giving this a try.

I have tried and failed with every other car I have tried including the ae86, skylines, s13s s15s, old school Japanese muscle, new bmws mercs blahblahblah. Disaster each time.
