Looks pretty descent, but the drifts arent smooth at all. Too bad he uses the ds2, with the dfp you can control the exits alot better, but its allot harder though!

No wonder it took me forever to master with the DFP. And those cars in the video were definitely ricers, luckily GT4 doesn't offer any aftermarket body kits or vinyls.

Thats drifting? I've always wanted to know what that was. Do you guys auctually consider that a sport? Looks more like a celebration technique.

requires more skill in keeping it smooth than nascar does

Tough call whether you'd call it a sport or not. It definitely requires a lot of skill to do it really well like the pros, and I guess it's a sport in the same way that things like Freestyle MotoX and the like are, being judged on the aesthetic quality of your tricks. Personally all those sorts of things are just a matter of opinion as to whose is 'better' so they don't hold much water with me as sports. Plus drifting is pretty one-dimensional 'trick', not exactly full of variety really.

That was a pretty good video. I've tried drifting in GT4 but I usually can't get it right or get it smooth.

the drifts aren't too bad actually. tips on how to drift in video games?

[whiteballz]

1) put brake power to the back as much as you can.
2) increase camber on the rear wheels as much as you can
3) have shorter gear ratios so you can change gear during drifts without lowering or raising the revs too high
4) TCS (traction control system) OFF
5) Brake hard and late, swerve to the outisde of the corner at the start, then swerve back in to the inside to induce drift.
6) Feather the throttle to keep about 3/4 up the rev range.
7) be aware of throttle steer, sometimes you dont even need to use opposite lock to get a drift well.

not too bad, anyone know the name of the song in the background?

[whiteballz]

here, a few short vids of a drift lap i did in my 180SX this morning. bad quality. its all from the same lap, but ive done it seperately and cut up to fit within the UCP limits..

sorry, i dont know what the song is.

whiteballz, your style is very agressive, try to keep it as smooth as possible! Make sure your not banzaing into corners, drifting is an art form

here is an old video of me in gt3, not as clean as i can perform them nowadays, but it still looks cool
