Automatic shifting is okay, but it won't give you the same results as manual.
Forza horizon 4 best drift car manual#
For shifting, almost always use manual or manual w/ clutch.
Try and use both to see which one you like more. If you do all of the chapters of Drift Club, 1: you'll get the Boss 302, which is pretty good for drift zones, and 2: you'll use a bunch of cars that are all decent for drifting.Īs for technique, RWD is more authentic and cooler, but AWD is by far easier for a beginner. Other good options include the BMW M6 FE, most Nissan's, any of the Formula Drift cars, and the whole line of Mazda RX-7's. I mainly used this, the 1969 Mustang Boss 302 (from drift club all 30 stars) and the Hoonigan RS200 Evolution (for dirt/snow drift zones). Get a tune from the storefront and you're set. Pretty late to this thread, but the Alfa Romeo P3 is fantastic on a lot of street drift zones. The keys for me were learning to not overspin the tires and use the steering and throttle together without relying on the handbrake and speed all the time for my spins.Įdited by user Saturday, Decem11:03:35 AM(UTC) I'm actually enjoying drifting now! I need more practice to keep up with the better avid drifters but it's actually fun now. In two other tricky dirt zones I bumped the HP on that BMW to 1515 and now have 3 stars on all drift zones. I'm using RWD on all drifts now except slippery zones, especially ones that have a lot of elevation change. I'm sure others can use the handbrake better than me, but steering and throttle is how I'm drifting now with rare uses of the handbrake.
I could control my drift with the throttle easily without resorting to the handbrake. So I tuned the 2013 BMW M6 Forza Edition with a AWD drift tune that had 1212 HP which is lower than the maximum 1515 I could put in the car. Too much grip and not enough power, meant I had to use the hand brake to spin and that's tricky. Too much power and too little grip meant the car couldn't keep it's speed to drift precisely. I was doing poorly on the Woodland Walk Drift Zone east of the quarry. The right car for a drift zone should have enough power to spin the tires without lag but not too little. Since this message a few more things have clicked for me with drifting I'll share because for the first time in any Forza I flew threw the drift zones without much time or effort, however I got stuck on one and learned more things that led to easily finishing them. I'm actually enjoying it and it's helping my off-road and dirt racing because I can now drift without loss of speed. The only two things that changed were practicing drifting on the flat sandy beach and concentrating on the road surface edges instead of the driving lines. I just achieved 3 stars in the drift clubs in one pass with only a few rewinds (when I went off a cliff) That was eye opening for me. While doing some casual drifting just driving around in the game or in the Forza Live events I stopped looking at the braking line for the zones and instead focused on looking at the inside of the edges of the driving surface. I've been spending a lot of time on the sandy beach drifting to get car points just trying to keep the car from spinning. Faster courses you can use 4th.Įven with manual I was still taking a few passes to get 3 stars on drift zones but recently something clicked. The Formula Drift cars are all setup very well with variations in HP that suit different zones, however, it's true, to make it easy, use Manual and get into 3rd for most zones, then just learn to feather the throttle. Since learning to drive Manual then Manual with Clutch in Motorsport drifting in Horizon is really easy. I've managed to get 3 stars in a lot of drift zones with Automatic but it was very, very, very, very hard and time consuming.
