Haha yeah I always spin out on the rwd cars.
Did you buy it?
I've just got the demo and an alpha version so the training is screwed.
It looks like you can keep it in 3rd and make the turn but the only way not to spin out is to keep pumping the brake in 2nd.
Use the mouse trust me. When you use the keyboard you can ONLY turn the wheel slow. To turn it completely (fast) you need to assign different keys.
Use these keys:
Steering: Mouse
Accelerate: Left Mouse Button
Brake: Right Mouse Button
Clutch: X
Gear Up: A
Gear Down: Z
Handbrake: Spacebar
It might feel a little weird but the mouse is the best! It gives you total control over your steering.
Wanna verse me? lol PM me

Yeah I play it a bit, used to be right into the drifting side of it before buying s1 and getting more into the racing side of it.
I like the GTT?
s2 is looking good too, tyre wear's a bitch though
Oh, and I use a wheel and pedals.

even lets you choose how much slip

What control setup do you use?
I don't get what you mean by full throttle or nothing at all?
Ohhh wait! Yeah the only way to keep it at low rpm is to keep tapping the throttle but that's like most car games.
Do you have it so that it automatically blips the throttle on down shift?

Awesome i just downloaded the demo version 2, yeah rwd is hard with the mouse especially XR GT turbo come into corner gas it round and round you go, pretty good with the fwd. Did the braking test dodgy it come into braking area hit handbrake,spin the car round, gas it up and brake, stops very quick ranking pro woot.

i dropped my settings on there guts, stiffened everything to the max and put 3 paasengers in the GTI and watched it bounce round the track. I prefer the XR gt to the turbo the turbo just loops it too easy

i was playing last night a bit on a texas drift online game pretty cool, they were all driving XR GT turbo's, i was running just the XR GT and i reckon its better for drift much easier to control getting pretty good at it actually.
Was also racing some random peeps and was killing em they kept on getting the shits and restarting and trying to crash me out but couldn't lol

i used to play this so so much, was the best game for drift by far, but when they patched it to make it harder for keyboard drivers it pretty much removed all drift unless you used a steering wheel.
should be good to get this one going now as i have a wheel
this is a vid me and a friend did a while ago of lfs drift

Yeah trust me corona, the mouse is heaps hard at the start but you have so much more control once you get used to it. Should take you around 10 minutes.

How does "ss" (Send Setup) work? I THINK Colinss sent me one, but I couldn't find it . . .
I can get down to a 1:30.8 fairly regularly at Blackwood in the XR-Turbo, but I just start killing the rear tyres trying to go faster!

I raced last night with crab etc, so consistent he is. I did a 1:30 point somthing and would of gone better if it hadn't been for me typing a message mid lap at one stage lol, still got a 1:40 on that lap.
Was interesting cos off the grid i was pretty much stuck in 5th and whilst initially, i'd have the guys behind me hassling me, once thru the chicane i could lap around the leaders times, i couldn't catch em but i left those behind me for dead.
Unlike the leaders however my tyres didn't go off, so when you guys pitted i made a couple of spots.
Secret to NA drift come into the corner in third, drop back to second and sit on 9krpm, boo yea. So much more fun and a little easier than drifting the turbo.
I pissed a few of them off on DDC but some of them are just dicks, i mean i can drift quite well not as good as them, but you make a mistake and spin next thing you know your banned. If not the next corner you come into you get punted into the wall.
