Drift mode!

Kevin Ascher · Nov 29, 2013

Tried the drift mode with the E92 and the Italia at the drift track yesterday!
What are your highscores, boys and girls?

The Drift version of E30 was just released with the new 0.3 patch. I thought I'd give it a quick try on the new Vallelunga layout, and the good ol' Driftland.

Hope you like it, despite the few mistakes in my driving.

My currently favourite feature on the drift circuit - the pitwall

Nordschleife this, Nordschleife that... but tires won't burn themselves

I must admit that for someone who waited so many years for Live for Speed to be updated, Assetto Corsa is a dream come true

How the hell can i drift? You use 900 degrees? Use some constom setup?

Bart Manski · Dec 24, 2013

Default drift setup. It becomes much easier once you heat up your rear tires to 150 degrees Celsius and above. I have logitech G25 and feel most comfortable on 720 degrees setup. Obviously you can drift using 900 degrees even if you have old&slow DFP, but it requires much more effort than it does with faster wheel. For me having to fight against my controller is where the fun ends.

I use 540º for driving. That's good too?
Where's default drift setup?

This is scary as heck. I just can´t ever learn to drift it appears. I have done so many attempts but I am one of those that even fails arcade drifting like in Dirt 3 and GT6. I can see myself getting totally stuck on the drift events in the Assetto Corsa event and having nothing to blame but myself lol

I feel you brother... I had to turn the game off today (as I was getting really frustrated) after countless not successful attempts at drifting. I cannot seem to understand what I am doing wrong so I can fix it... Will keep trying though

Kristóf Kerekes · Dec 25, 2013

I was thinking about releasing a series of educational Drift videos for Assetto Corsa. Not sure about how useful or successful would it be though.

Joco Gorenc · Dec 25, 2013

Go for it, I'm not too bad at drifting(nowhere near you level though) but I'd be interested to see

Please. And talk about rotation degrees. How much rotation is apropriated for drifting. I use 540 and i don't know if this is how i should play.

Kristóf Kerekes · Dec 25, 2013

I use 900 degrees, as I'm used to that. Anything that suits you is fine as long as it's more than 360-ish.

Again, how you guys can make it with 900º? I'm not talking about drift, i'm about racing. 900º racing it's impossible. How can u guy managed it? Can i see some video with someone driving a Sim with 900º?

Bart Manski · Dec 25, 2013

Generally I think that if you are learning then less degrees = easier, because you can go lock-to-lock quicker and it helps you make up for slower reaction time.
But as you gain experience, you drive more smoothly and don't need steering to be so fast. Instead you want more precision and you get that with wider angle, like 720-900 degrees.
540 is a good start if you have fairly decent wheel (DFGT or better), if not then I would suggest something closer to 360.

As for drift setup, all you have to do is choose this and obviously disable driving aids like automatic gearbox and traction control:

tatsuya · Dec 25, 2013

I've got G25 and never used aids. Yes, i'm kinda noob, not becaus i'm new in Sim Racing but becaus i've never practice alot. Finally i found the most impressive car game i've ever experienced.

Tks.

Busted link at this point. Still have it around?

Saw a lot of people posting about having problems with drift technique, so was also thinking of doing a tutorial once I get used to AC (just got it today) -- but my drifts ain't looking pretty so far

Understeer's kicking my butt. Do it up!! Great idea! Probably won't get a kerjillion views, but it'll certainly help people.

Lordy, what I wouldn't do for 20 more degrees of steering angle.
