    Hey guys,

    Any of you out here experienced in drifting?
    I've been trying to drift around in different cars for a while now, mostly trying the SLS AMG and the BMW's
    Right now im trying it in specific corners (like zandvoorts first one) by shifting from 4 to 2 and then trying to control the chaos, or trying to enter a corner very slowly and then jamming the foot down.

    Long story short, what are your experiences, and that there should be handbrake everywhere :D

    Those wheel seetings look very spinny.. mine only goes about 240 degrees, how do I make it so I can spin it about like that? looks very cool! and nice drifting!

    What wheel do you have?
    If you can afford it, you should get a wheel that supports 900 degrees.

    A Logitech G27, it supports 900 degrees.. but i'm new to simracing (for a week now!) and thus, also new at how to setup the wheel. Got the FFB down quite nice tho! feels like my old go kart. Now to get the rotation fixed :D

    The rotation is set up automatically by the game.
    Make sure to check the box in your Logitech drivers, where it says "allow game to adjust"

    You can also manually adjust the wheel range in the car setup screen ->wheel settings

    Alright, well I think my settings are right now. the g27 is now spinning the full 900 degrees, so is the wheel in-game

    And now for the hours and hours at practice to come :'D this is really really hard to do! drifting crazy like that.

    Thanks for the help with the setup :D

    any 92dtm or touring classic's are good for drifting (don't try it in a 1000000000 horsepower monster(sls) until you've mastered the easy stuff)

    also lock the diff it really helps

    if you buy the dtm package you can buy the e30 touring cheap i believe
