I can't help you with the sliding too much, Flex's hint about the tyres is pretty nice, I was able to drift pretty smoothly in a stock Gineta G4 with either N1's or N2's, some people recommended FD's for learning drifting. As for the money, there's the DTM championship, which has 5 races, you get some nice money for the tournament, and the prize car you win (CLK GTR) can be sold for over 700 thousand Cr. For a nice car to enter there, I used a CLK DTM (won from that Silver Arrow tournament... probably). To make things easy you can slap on a turbo upgrade to it, and you'll smoke the competition with an ease. |

Reducing body roll is also somehting that you need to do. In a FR, stiffen the swing arms and sway bars in the rear, and only slightly in the front. In a FF and 4WD, stiffen both the front and rear. In an MR, only the front needs to be stiffened because the engine swings the backend out naturaly. You can also modify the Toe angle In/Out depending on if you need more understeer or oversteer. Shifting the brake balance to the front/rear can help drift the car also. Having a high powered car can also help in creating power oversteer to force the car to drift. Adding an LSD can also help because an LSD keeps the inside tire spinning at the same speed as the outside one, which swings the rear out. Putting an LSD in a FF is not recommended unless you plan on spending a lot of time tuning it to prevent massive understeer! And as a last bit of advice: Remove all of the driving aids! In all the cars there is the ASM (or Automatic Stability Management) that applies the brakes depending on wether the car is over or understeering. The TCS (Traction Control System) prevents the tires from "burning out" and retards the throttle to prevent tire spin. This post has been edited by aegisproxy on Aug 27 2007, 03:56 PM |

Anyways, just keep almost everything stock (just get a few power mods and a brake bias controller), and maybe get all the N tires (they're free). Also, remember to turn all the Driving Aids off, aside from maybe the understeer one, leave that at 10 if you wish. |
