Me and my friend will make our own team shortly, we're both good with him being slightly better, I like your ideas Skyline_32, it'd be nice if they materialised.

Not too sure on the teams, but should you in need of a competition, drop by at the Top Gear GT4 Challenge. Two challenges has been done, but if you could scramble it, I can add you into the competition. Just take note, the challenges are a bit.... queer, just like Top Gear itself.

you need a correct car. I recommend BMW120i for starting since its more forgiving and has softer, slower handling, and them moving up to MX-5'04, either one will be fine. I warn you though.. the MX5 will FORCE you to drift in corners, and while doing so, you can't help but smile. laugh.gif

There are several ways to do it, but the first thing I can say is that to drift in GT4 as a beginner you need to go SLOW and on low grip tires and do not SLAM on the brakes.
Doing that will result in a meeting with mr understeer which isn't fun at all.
Then, soft suspension (Low spring rates and shocks) makes it easier to drift as you easier overloads the poor tires, for more oversteer and direct control of the front end I suggest stiffening the front suspension.

But stock cars on N1 or N2 tires is recommended to master, basically almost any MR car can throw the tail out, in the 4WD class you got the Subaru Impreza WRX STi version 3 as the easiest one to throw around, but to do braking drift in cars like that you have to brake with max 20% braking power!
Old series 6 RX-7s (91 to 95 and some series 7 96 to 97) FD's mind you are also easy to throw sideways.

As for the overcounter issue that you will encounter, well, to overcome that you just have to keep at it, it is all about smoothness and control and not so much about speed.
Keep your tongue straight and keep trying, and thats about all there is to getting hang of GT4 drifting.

GT3 drifting is more fun because it doesn't have the rocking bug. In GT4, you do a smooth drift, go a bit too far, and then you tap the control stick slightly to the left and the car goes out of control. You don't get that in GT3 and Enthusia. Speaking of which, a GT3 or Enthusia challenge is an order. smile.gif

If your looking for a beginner car, something to just get the hang of, i recommend trying the BMW M5 on N2 tires w/ all driving aides off, its quite easy to drift with the DFP if you respect its power and brakes

To be honest it feels like it gives you a taste of the new physics in GT5P with how easy it is to get sliding happy.gif

If you don't mind... Is it alright if I enter this challenge myself? I represent team Noyzee Tribe (find in Asia pacific teams). I'm a frequent Gran Turismo player. I'm currently in GT4. So what are the conditions again? I'm looking forward to a reply so that I can set my cars to the desired conditions. Oh, yeah! please post also frequently used tracks in GT4 that most members in this thread used.
I just want to see if my skills in GT4 could be considered Internationally qualified... to that of people here.

I frequently use a Nissan Skyline GT-R34 Nur Spec... or was it a V-specII Nur? 02'

please reply to this post soon. Long live Gran Turismo!

Gunma, you have a team? Any videos? I used to be a regular driver here, but I have quit for some time now, but now that you mention you have a team, i'm thinking of getting back in.

I don't post here as much as i used to, but im still driving, quite often in-fact, and not just my Impreza, I'd say i've driven about 400 of the games 700-something cars in various comparisions and BMI-themed drives. laugh.gif

How about you ?
