Can't Drift? Let ME Help you!

[TheXRacer]

The easiest way to drift, you would assume is to yank the handbrake right?

 

Not so in TDU.

 

According to experience, the easiest way to drift in TDU 2 is to get a Mustang Fastback, Turn your handling difficulty to Sport, Start in 2nd Gear.

 

The procedure goes along the lines of this:

 

 

Step 1: Approach the corner at a comfortable speed, maybe 60? (Ideal gear is 2nd)

 

Step 2: TAP the handbrake as you turn into the corner.

 

Step 3: Now proceed to feather the throttle and counter steer.

 

 

That's all there is to it.

 

I admit, It WILL take some practice but this method works for me.

 

At least try it is all I am saying.

The Zonda Tricolore is drifted in the same way. Actually you wont need the e-brake, just let off the accelerator and the weight shifts forward making the rearwheels spin, apply throttle and countersteer. If letting off the throttle isnt enough for you, tap the brakes.

[TheXRacer]

That works too, but I'm assuming you didn't consider using Sport mode?

I've managed to do some long 100-150m drifts in 599 GTO, but still I can't compare it to "real" drift as it suck :(

 

Hope this will be fixed soon.

[TheXRacer]

Yeah, the handling is a bit dodgy but I put this thread up for the people who are struggling to drift without spinning out.

 

Anyway, If you want to meet me, I'm at the classic license track in a black mustang fastback.

 

Getting kinda bored.

[Emporar]

I use sport mode for drifts as Hardcore makes you spin all the time (but maybe thats just me)

*looks at thread*

 

"DO'H I POSTED AGAIN!"

Drifting in Sport is easy. Drifting in Hardcore also isn't that hard, you just have to control the throttle.

[TheXRacer]

But in hardcore it feels like the tarmac is made of sheet ice!(or wet sand, w/e you prefer)

[powerslave]

Drifting in Subaru in HC is easy. In RUF it's not. Drifiting in RUF on Sport is easy.

 

I'm on Ibiza's classic racing school parking, TheXRacer join me there mate.

[TheXRacer]

Ok, No problem, But would you be so kind as to get on the road so I can join your session?

[eXile]

There is no real "DRIFTING" in this game. You are juts sliding about. I suggest you wait for the expected Hardcore 2.0 and then do so ;)

 

I would of came to drift/cruise with you but I just got home so add me and maybe next time ;)

[TheXRacer]

Ok, sure man.

 

Any time you want to meet up, I will be free.

TDU2 Drift movie please :)

Too bad I haven't done screen eariler when I had 350m :(

 

So far RUF on Sport seems to be best car for sliding, can't call it drifting. I don't know how TDU2 system works as I can do 1km long drift-type slide all over the racing school playground but still it will say I did 50m slide :P

[Ten.]

My thecnique should work in all modes. Havent tried full assist, but it should work.

Without a video to "prove" what you're saying, I'm going to assume that what you're all calling drifting is basically just some controlled powersliding, which is more or less possible. However, liking 2 powerslides in opposite directions (like in an "S" curve) is impossible. I've tried every possible setting, in HC and in Sport, with the impreza, the ruf, the mustang: drifting "ken block-style" (as in TDU1) is not possible with the current physics.

[powerslave]

636m on Sport, my record so far :) Could be more but I was afraid that someone will hit me like many times before :P [URL=http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/6172/2011031200011.jpg]-- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --[/URL] @H311m4n S, J turns, all possible, practice mate and you will find out. For me RUF, 599 and Zonda are best cars to play with, especially RUF.

[TheXRacer]

I can vouch for powerslave on this.

 

BTW I think that was our best session yet. Too much fun man. Good times.

 

I think me and you should start a "controlled sliding school" Ya get me?

[powerslave]

Maybe when they release updated handling model, not the current crap. Anyway, next goal is 1000m :)

[eXile]

Haha fun session. I finally fixed my scanlines problem haha

[Immelmann]

For some reason my TDULife stats say my longest drift was 4.5km? xD

[TheXRacer]

Yeah, the system seems a bit dodgy atm but I hope for an update s**n.

[Immelmann]

Drifting in hardcore is easy.

 

 

It's called clutch kicking.
