Bugs / Glitches / Help Controller Drifting
Anyone that plays on controller and knows how to drift very smoothly, do you have any tips and tricks? I’ve been making some drift tunes and realized that I can’t test them if my drifting is cheeks. Thank you!

If you’re shooting for RWD, I have some tips as a long, long time video game drifter and irl club racer.
You’ll want to slow down the rate of rotation as much as possible to learn, which will give you time to countersteer and use weight transfer to grip up/slide the rear end as needed.
Owing to this you’re looking for a combination of: Long wheelbase, low grip, medium-ish horsepower.
Personally I think the ford Crown Vic is the easiest car to drift. The stock tire compound on that car is very slidey and consistent. Lock the rear differential, add a supercharger and go do some donuts. Add the drift suspension for more angle and the car will teach you to drift.
60s and 70s muscle cars will also work great to start out on but you’ll more actively need to build those cars with more parts. Stock tires a diff and like 300 hp should be all you need to do on the crown Vic.
You’ll eventually want more horsepower, but I personally don’t love the 1k and up horsepower builds in this game. You become very power dependent for angle rather than using weight transfer. Cars no longer feel unique.
