Drifting Techniques

fwd drifting is very fun, but i prefer the super slidey rwd any day.

I genuinely cant believe someone would put that in a thread about drifting.

I completely agree with you grez~supra. anyone who says dont use a rwd car for drifting doesnt seem to know what the word drifting even means. sigh its sad nfs isnt more realistic or fwd and drift wouldnt be said in the same sentence.

personally to me i try to keep it as life like as possible so i tend to gravitate to the rwd cars like the mustang and gto lotsa people say theyre to heavy but ya gotta learn to use them bc they can rack up points fast. also i really dislike the fact the golf seems to be the #1 choice partly bc its glitched. the golf in this game is FWD not the AWD version yet in drift mode it seems to have magic powers to the rear wheels being able to do burnouts and increaseing its driftabitility...dont belive me then watch this video http://members.shaw.ca/mimiru/golf.zip i know someones gonna yell at me saying im wrong but check out the video and check out the golf on the dyno its fwd not awd. ud think ea could have gotten at least that right?

Officially the best in the world happens to be LuciferJT, (stadium) and GamersGen, (downhill). Without a doubt the facts are simple - the GG (gamersgen) guys are probably the best at drifting... they have four drifters in the top 10.

The greatest majority of guys online drift with one of two cars. Subaru or Golf. Judging by their continuous drift scores, there is no doubt that these are the best cars in the game to drift with.

LuciferJT pulls on average 800,000 in stadium 2 drift in 4 laps. GamersGen and FearlessGG pull upwards of 900,000 in Hillside drifts.

1. Get online before you make comments that you've never lost a drift, just get your school fees ready.
2. Don't use RWD cars, just try and understand traction and control and u will realise that RWD is not the way to go.
3. Drift settings are somewhat personal, but it really depends on what type of track you are going to do. Downhill is high suspension, Stadium is low suspension.
4. Aerodynamics should be low or off.
5. Transmission should be manual.
6. Stability control should be off.
7. Drivetrain should be set to max accel. U should never get out of second.
8. Don't use hand brake if possible, just double tap accel.

Practice above all else, master one track and stick to it. Suggest Hillside or Stadium 2, to get the hang of the two different types of drifts.

Goodluck

I feel what your saying, but i dunno if i agree with the RWD not being the way to go
i've heard from numerous sources that RWD is the key to drifting
perhaps you could explain why it's not???
Although maybe RWD isn't good What is the celica RWD or FWD or AWD???

the celica is FWD, in reality RWD is the only way to go in drifting, drifting with AWD or FWD can be done but it is a lot trickier, with a RWD car set up right it is very easy to get a car to drift, next time it snows try it with ur car, if its rwd ull find right away it dont take to much to spin it around.

The difference in NFSU2 (to Real Life) is that the game calls pretty much any sustained loss of traction a drift. This allows some crazy scenarios, like you can kill the front end grip on a FWD car, understeer all the way around the course, and still rack up the points.
