bump because those videos are pretty damn cool :)

(and yeah, i definitely saw the rear wheels locking up on that ITR, so the guy definitely was using his handbrakes..)

Hes using the handbrake, notice the rear wheels are locked when hes drifting.

You can also drift by lifting midcorner to do a weight transfer...(common cause of spins amongst track drivers). This is in addition to any brake or suspension setups to facilitate drifting.

the game just rocks. I like to drift with the Skyline R34 with 1065hp or with the RUF RGT with 1115hp IIRC :).

There must be something different about GT3 (haven't played it much), because I cannot drift that well in GT2. And I should be able to, god knows I've practiced enough.

I've been playing GT3 way too much lately...and I probably have the same 1060+hp Skyline that someone referred to..heh -- 1/4 in 9.563-ish?

If you play in arcade mode, I believe you can choose from race or drift settings..maybe that makes things easier?

the fastest time I could get with the Skyline is like 9.12X in the 1/4 and about 9.09X with the Porsche RGT. I wanna break the 9 seconds!
