Hi! If you corner, you will powerslide even though you are gripping. This also applies to open wheeled cars. Do you hate the grip physics? To Turn 10: Can you fix the grip physics so you cannot powerslide while cornering?

I can totally agree with you, but this needs to be in the game features wish list for them to take it into consideration.
Slow down and don’t induce over steer. Grip regained.

Works for me!
No power sliding here, well not if I don’t want to.

Simple… If you go too fast into a corner, you are going to lose grip. It’s like that for most any driving game you’ll play. Going as far back as Pole Position.

I used to cop it all the time but I sort out help with tuning and just practised to improve my driving skills and it’s no where near as bad now. There are tracks that have a lot more grip than others though but that’s the way it is in real life.
Brake straight, let the car settle, and apply partial throttle as you turn in.

I like the grip physics but i hate the fact that the tyres deform in the wrong direction!
The physics are fine. If your drifting and not on purpose than your over driving it or you need to adjust your set up or both

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this unless I’m overdriving. Try slowing down more for corner entry and reduce and/or more smoothly apply the power as you exit the corner?
Powerslide means power causing a slide. Use less power during your turn and you won’t slide, this is how a car works.

I like this answer…
I would recommend changing ur setup on the cars u are driving OP. If u go watch most of the top leaderboard times u won’t see much sliding. Slow in equals fast out so brake earlier and enter smooth for a good exit. If u would like help tuning I can give u a hand
There isn’t a separate set of game physics for grip driving versus drifting. You’re definitely overdriving the car or your setup needs tuning. The only times I power slide is when I’m going too fast. You might want to check the braking line, if you’re using that guide. I’ve noticed it sometimes the brake indicator comes on a tad too late. Practice will help you identify when that is the case.
I think the physics are greatly improved. Granted I’ve never taken a supercar around the Nurbergring.
In previous games, you had grip until the moment you didn’t, then you were usually off the track. FM5 lets you lose the car a little and reel it back in still. That oversteer in the lat corner of a long race isn’t going to put you in the wall if you can control it. I also live in an area with a lot of snow, and I’ve done my fair share of powersliding around corners as you start to lose grip.
depends on the car and driver.
Go away.

In real life you can get your Prius to loose grip in a corner if go fast enough.
The trick is to go as fast as possible thru a corner without loosing grip.
I see so many complaints that “the cars in Forza are too drifty; it’s so arcadey.” Those people just don’t know that things are different without traction control or stability control than with those assists, especially for the Gran Turismo players, where the car makes sure it doesn’t slip. I use no assists, so I control the car’s speed in a corner and the amount of pressure I put on the throttle and the brakes to make sure that the car doesn’t slide. Drifting has never caught my attention. I think that there is too many YouTube videos where players drift in Forza 5, or any other game in the series.

Actually, I believe the main issue is the disconnect that comes with playing a videogame and driving in real life. In Forza, the sensation of speed and our ability to feel the car as we would in real life is greatly minimalized because of the obvious effects - or lack thereof - associated with sitting on a couch and staring at a two-dimensional television screen. In racing games, the feeling of going 60 MPH around a corner just doesn’t pose the same feeling of speed that it does when you try to go around an on or off-ramp loop in an actual car on an actual road with an actual danger of crashing.
Once gamers, like the original poster, get a better understanding of how speed ‘feels’ in Forza games, they usually get better at cornering. A hint to those folks: it feels like you are going a lot slower than you actually are when you do it right.
