That's precisely what I mean.
Granted, I haven't perfected the technique myself, but the records do speak for themselves.

Just quickly brake and gas back (starts a blinking blue drift) while yanking the wheel fully.

The idea of Myogi is it is very difficult to get Gold drift on it, so just settle with the blinking Blue drift and just push the exit speeds as much as you can. I'm doing this and I'm running something like a 2'29"1. Of course, I'm nowhere near WR (20"9 with an MR2), and its probably possible that that run may have Gold drift written all over it but I think to start with, just doing the above is fine.

Guys i have a huge problem with drifting in this game, im not very good ;P usually i brake too much and end up grinding the car on the inside walls, i cant judge the turns very well, any advice?

Practice, really. You'll eventually figure out the technique and senses that best suits you. Also, find a course you really like and keep practising on it; IE your own "home" course. Since you always deal with the same corners, you should be more familiar with them if you run through. Having a Full Spec Car probably helps a bit as well.

Thanks, I'll try it out. I think I've never willfully played Myogi on ID6 before, its always chosen for me by my opponents (or the occasionaly LoTS) and needless to say they likely chose it cos they're likely good at it and can cream me quite easily. More practice would help I guess.

But knowing that gold drift isn't essential (not basically at least) helps I guess, still not used to that blue sign hanging over the screen.

Guys, just found a pretty fun way for drifting. Try out and feed back here can?

When going into a turn, downshift to the desired gear, let go of the throttle and turn at the same time, keep tapping the throttle and even when countersteering. Align to road and tap one more time. Works for me in Usui and Myogi.
I am real nooby so please do not flame. Got this inspiration from GT5 feathering the throttle technique and it did work for me.
Works even in Iro but u might leg cramp if u do more than 20 runs a day there.
See me in crutches and u know me the guy, muahahahaahahahahahha

Define "fun"?

I see alot of face crushing understeer if I were to try and pull this off. The brake's supposed to shift the weight forward so you can slide the rear out. Without that, you'd be getting blue drifts.

have you tried Digi? Some how the system still allows for the drift to initiate. Dun try to put real world physics and game play physics together.
If in the realworld, the downshift will allow your FR rear tyres to spinout (smoke) the front wheels give direction and the rear wheels will swing the tail. it might be oversteer you will experience not understeer.
Just putting my point across.
Dun hate me........

I'm not hating. However I find your method somewhat dubious.

Er. Technically downshifting IRL makes your Revs jump, making the engine more capable of producing the torque needed to spin the wheels. It'd be oversteer if you were in an FR and cornering.

I have tried in Happo. It was wallscrape bonanza for the most part. Perhaps it's the car?

So essentially just downshift and tap tap tap the corner then? No brakes. Maybe I'll just attempt it for fun. Sounds quite scary though, since no brakes.

Maybe really car, I using FD to try and it worked nicely on Myogi, Usui and Iro. Haven have chance to try Akagi. Rhythm of the course not in me yet.
Braking of cos is not really necessary unless u are in Iro first hairpin.
I still brake. CP2 also i dun brake.
My guess is if it is a AWD or 4WD, it may not do.
Theory, AWD and 4WD power over with wheels. So wheel lock drifting is more appropriate. Tire management is more of a concern. FR drivetrains the rear wheels are actually hard tires and give smoke. Front tyres are soft for more grip and to steer.

I try all these and i am still nooby. So i still have all the time to experiment with all sorts of stuff before I settle on the best drift method for me.

My tries have given me blinking blue and gold drift marks. I have noticed that its my entry speed problem. Too low, will not get gold, tap throttle more it will turn gold briefly. This method also gave me longer drifts and a long gold time espically in Myogi.
But have to share, this is the one time in my life after playing ID that i can win God Hand in story mode.
I hate that course and dun even look at it. Some how I tried on Monday night 1st time and won God hand after 3rd try. This tap tap tap tap etc method helped me. First time i could win him.
I am not a natural in ID and i dun have too much time to play often. So i am always contend to do story mode, FT my cars then concentrate on TAing. Too pressure playing against other players. and furthermore i am lazy, i only steer with one hand. Somehow that habit never breaks since ID4.

PS; to all who wanna try this, do turn a little earlier than usual, u see the replay u know what i mean, u will smoke sooner and the replay really looks good if u pull it off. If wanna practice, try the Usui 2 consecutive turn which is almost like a number 8.

Before turn, start tapping (downshift not really needed but do so if u wanna control speed), Turn in and dun stop tapping near the apex counter steer to align back then yank again into turn cos this is a pretty large turn.
After that, floor the predal for half a second then start tapping turn, tapping to corss the next turn. (There are 2 turns remember?)

Only Iro's first turn? I have to disagree there. I've missed the brake by accident on Akina's first turn a number of times, still having done a downshift and gas tap to try and pull out. It doesn't seem to work very well, since I smash into the outside.

Don't we always wheel lock to corner as fast as possible, regardless of drivetrain?

Since you mentioned you're still a green player, I have to wonder; is your car FT? Because the behavior between partially tuned and fully tuned is significantly different.

I would think TA is a better method of evaluating the effectiveness of a technique. I mean, times do speak for themselves.

'Course, fun is relative; so if you enjoy it, then by all means.

Hee hee, good point Digi.
My FD is only stage 4 ending soon.
Where u play at anyway Digi, u are sooooo active.
Can i visit u sometime to pick some pointers or observe. Luv watching pros in Malaysia or Singapore. Have been observing PETERS in 1U and he is really a pro of pros.

There are a few places where the rear end just naturally breaks traction with a lift of the throttle, so getting back on the power means a drift. Emphasis on "few." Some of the longer turns in Usui, Lake Akina and Myogi are examples.

For the most part though, I downshift + brake on entry, turn in, go WOT and correct slide angle. I'm not doing it well enough to be successful more than 40% of the time however.

The big headaches happen when the corner entry itself is kinked; I have trouble deciding what to concentrate on and inevitably hit the wall at some point. Sector 1 of Akagi DH is a glaring example.

Try this 100,
Akagi start to the first killer corner is 2 small turns.
after the 2nd turn, dun wait for the turn to come.
After turn 2, tap 2 times, downshift and turn, u will effect a slide (downshift earlier will give u a decrease in speed gear 3 for 5 speed and gear 4 for 6 speed.) as u enter the turn keep tapping your throttle. Clear the apex (u wont see it well not like ID5) counter steer and tapping all the way then align straight tap 1 more time and full gas.
I can clear abt 135+ but i see vids on youtube clearing at 142-147.
