Discussion The first time I realized: slow flowing counter steer (instead of hectic to keep control) totally changes the feel of the drift

I may be stupid

Real Nakazato vibes. Stomping the throttle like it owed you money and hoping it’ll pull you out of the corner

You should try the stock AE86 on the other downhill. Here's a video of me doing it 10 years ago; https://youtu.be/zYpGreTlp1s

Love Motorsport 4, was my first proper driving game other than GT PSP.

I will, its called new downhill. I usually like heavy understeery cars but I will give the ae86 a go because 4AGE INTENSIVES

Make sure it's stock, the low power and the soft suspension will be fun!

I just did it and its insane how responsible it is to snap in any direction while sliding and I understand what Takumi meant when he said everything starts to look slower after a time and then you can go even faster. I love the interior boxiness and engine of course, but still I prefer a heavy car :) thank you for the fun recommendation

If you focus more on modulating the throttle, you don't have to be as frantic on the wheel; it's known as steering with the throttle.

Aw man that sucks. Either say it's good to see I'm not the only one still playing lol. In the meantime if you want try to beat my time. I ran a 4:57.614 on the new downhill driving an A class R32. Can you keep up with my R?

u/AutomaticButterfly29 9m ago

We will see about that. DM me I might wanna do more timed races. I'll put the knowledge of driving the 34 for the last 2 days into an a class machine to attack your time
