#DRIFTING TOWARDS THE STARS HOW TO#

This weekend I found the cure: the 1977 Holden Torana A9X with the tune AWD Drift by XtremeEnergizer For weeks I just managed to pull off 7/20 drift zones with 3 stars and neglected the rest till there was not much more left to achieve. I’m actually starting to enjoy drifting now that I’m getting the hang of it.ĭo you suck at drifting? I do. The drift zone “Thicket” was the one I struggled with until I used a mid-HP BMW with AWD. Lower HP is better for slippery conditions. I’ve been playing with them and for once easily got 3 stars on all but a couple of zones in one or two passes and that is not normal for me.Ī good rule of thumb to make it easier is if the drift zone has higher grip, you need higher horsepower. However, in this release, the Formula Drift cars are quite nice.

The right tune will have just enough power to the front wheels to help you straighten out. Slippery drift zones that go up or down are definitely hard and AWD is a huge help if the tune balances the power effectively between the front and back. In fact, I learned by accident simply trying to earn skill points. I tended to always try to control the drift using steering exclusively. My problem drifting was always throttle control.

Because it’s flat, you can finally learn how to control the drift using both the throttle and steering. I would leave drifting to the last thing to complete and then painfully work my way through to get 3 stars, however one tip I can give, is practice drifting on the sand flats near the castle.
