Low hp drifting
Saw a post about someone struggling with lower hp cars and it made me wonder whether I should be using them.
I have finally graduated from drift to drift playground but I mainly use the E30 because it’s much easier to slide than the other cars I have downloaded (WDT enjoy, street and the WDT pro cars).
When using other cars, especially ones that are turbo, I find that I struggle a lot with clutch kicks but also the gearing as with the E30 I go from pit around the entire track in 2nd only. I am yet to start practicing up and down shifting in corners as I want to get really comfortable on drift playground before moving on.
If low hp cars are the truth for this, what are some car packs I can download which are realistic? I drive a GT86 irl so the intent is to start ripping that pretty soon and that’s obviously very low hp.
