I cannot manage to drift.

[Gork]

So i am using the BMW E30 drift variant and i turn into a corner, throttle yet my car fails to slide the back wheels. Any one here has tips in general on how to drift?

[sora]

if you want drift this car you must ride on 2-3 gear not higher
when your car slow down when you do drift change gear on lower
when you ride on second gear don't change it on lower

[Hank from breaking bad]

Use your weight shift to initiate the drift and the back wheels will break loose. Also try a slower can until you get the hang out it, I'd suggest the Toyota AE86 or even download the Toyota Cresta(i think it should be cressida) which is probably the easiest drifting car in the game.

also make sure traction control is turned off :)

Drift like you would in a real car. Scandinavian flick or E-brake, up to you. Both work. Quite accurate physics. E30 drift is great, I like the E92 drift, requires lots of throttle control.

The rear slip angle act too quick. So you're basically throwing the car much stronger than you think. You can reduce the throw by having more speed. Although on exit it tend to lock.

@Nakadai I tried driver61 method & the car just understeer. What can be the issue?

[Alien Identity]

Is Traction Control off? Is Stability Control off? Are all steering and braking assists features off ?
( I don't remember if Assetto Corsa has Steering and Braking assist)

The driver?

[Mr Deap]

I have my own method, but I've never seen anyone starting countersteering at the apex in this game.

Thanks for the help everyone.

When in doubt use the Scandanavian flick. If that fails it could be a controller configuration issue, perhaps the throttle is not engaging at 100%

Using the brakes and weight transfer isn't really a newbie drift technique, you really should start by doing donuts and figure 8's.

With donuts you can learn multiple easy ways to start the drift like using the handbrake, clutch kick or just the power as well as learning how to hold the drift, figure 8's will teach you how to transition, once you can do both of these well you can apply it to pretty much any corner on a track.

Also make sure traction control and stability control aren't being turned on by the game, I've had that happen a few times and it makes drifting impossible :P

saying that you only have 2 hours in game i would say that you definetly have not played enough to know the physics and to start drifting ,learn to race first and correct your car and then start giving it more throttle out of the corner and try and make it wheelspin on purpose and see if you can control that ,then thats when you can start to learn how to drift ,it took me a few hundred hours to fully understand how to drift and all of the techniques that can be used ,it isnt just something that you can just do .

On the other hand if you can drift in real life already and know how to drive i would say the physics on this game are the best you can get and the closest you are going to get to real life before ACC comes out ,if as mentioned ,you can drift then its just trial and error of having to learn the track , car and to understand the physics

hope this helps
