Lots of people stay away from drifting as they don’t like it or they just don’t know how to do it properly. So here is a little help post with some tunes and scores to aim for that I have put together for you, including a video with even more info and demonstrating it!
The aim is to hit the goal without using rewind in your run. Make sure traction control and stability control are off. Best done in manual. Aim is to beat the scores in both directions before moving onto the next one.
RWD
RWD is the most common form of drifting, it is where you start and learn the skills needed. Throttle control is key with drifting and these 3 cars and goals on Cara Este will teach you the skill of throttle control. The Crown Vic as stock tires and can drift at very low speeds of 30-50mph while the Monaro has drift tires and will be higher speed. The 150 Utility Sedan is a handful. 1750hp and drift tires. This means it WILL try and spin out a lot. Take your time and build up where your comfortable with each of these before moving onto the next part.
Ford Crown Victroria - 600K - 103 523 680
Vauxhaull Monaro VXR - 700K - 996 799 902
Chevrolet 150 Utility Sedan - 850K - 202 909 709
AWD
AWD drifting requires more man handling of the car. Dont be afraid to throw it in and mash the throttle and also when transitioning, a tiny dab of brakes can help keep the car in control. AWD cars give the highest score due to the higher speeds through the corners but if you make a mistake, you lose all momentum and have to build it back up.
Aim to beat 900K with them all and try and beat 1 million with one you feel most comfortable with.
Rimac Concept 2 - 274 273 631
Austin Healey Sprite - 167 508 924
Bently Blower 4.5L - 157 162 450
Dirt Drift Zones
Drifting on dirt may seem easier with less grip from the surface, but it means you can lose control much easier. Here are some cars to try and aim to 3 star the Esquisto drift zone on the other side of the volcano to Cara Este
Porsche #65 Rothsport Racing Desert Flyer 911 - 118 674 021
Hoonigan Chevrolet Napalm - 147 941 581
Meyres Manx - 160 261 963 - 200K is quite attainable
Exomotive Exocat - 344 332 523
