How to Drift in Gran Turismo 5 PS3: A Beginner’s Guide
Diving into the world of drifting for the first time in Gran Turismo 5? As a beginner, learning the fundamentals of drifting can feel overwhelming, especially with the game’s lack of straightforward drifting tutorials. Fear not, as we’ve got you covered! Below, we’ll walk you through the proper techniques, settings, and modes to help you get started with drifting on the PS3.
Understanding What Drifting Is
Before delving into the how-to-guide, it’s essential to understand what drifting in Gran Turismo 5 is:
- Revolving Slide: In GT5’s standard racing settings, when you get too fast around a turns radius, your car will start to gently slide inward, which would normally trigger a spin. However, once you master the knack of feathering the gas pedal, keeping the car’s speed and stability, the slide becomes stabilized, giving you the freedom to glide through turns while maintaining control.
Setting Up Your Car
Don’t think you can just spawn a rear-wheel drive car from the pits and start drifting- we’re not suggesting that: The right driving conditions play a significant role! To master drifting, you’ll need to modify your car to perfection. Choose a rear-wheel driven car with low weight distribution at the back. Nissan Fairlady Z and Toyota GT86 are excellent recommendations.
In the Garage, enter the Tweaks and Settings sections to adjust:
- Adjustable Aerodynamics: Enabled
- Adjustable Roll-Stiffness: Low
- Adjustable Pitch-Stiffness: Low
- Adjustable Toe-In/Toe-Out Settings: Front: -2 – Rear: +2
Best Drift Cars in the Menu
For better drifting performance use the following rear-wheel drive cars or ‘Drift-Purist’ cars built specifically for drift racing:

Once you’ve modified your car to handle like a slippery fish in the water, it’ll be a lot easier in the rain or on light gravel tires. You can see the rainier the track, the
more unstable the car will steer. A
little loss of traction when turning
results in much better drifting. There
‘s a lot riding on drifting. It was

rain when the car. You can ride
stabilized once you ride with the
rain and dirt.
**Handling the Brakes**
Good braking **technique prevents wheels lock-up**, stopping the sliding action. **Ride by feel** what the front tires are pushing, adjusting the braking force carefully. There are two aspects to the sliding of the car: wheel lock
and the understeering of the front (the “front wheels not grip.”). The grip of the wheel becomes a
crucial element in the act of sliding or
drilling. It all depends on the brakes
braking force.
**Final Tips and Tricks in Drifting**
* **Cornering-Speed**: The speed approaching the turn defines the stability of the slippage. The faster into the curve, the more stable becomes the corner.
* **Gas-Stab-Accelerant**: Feather your gas pedal to maintain throttle control in the drift action.
* **Timing-Brack-Handling**: Practice your braking rhythm, and develop your ability to adjust during the racing process.
* Try to set up your starting speed: the higher the track speed, the further the drift; the track speed will be even more of a factor where the drift continues.
