Forza Horizon 4: How To Drift, FOR BEGINNERS! Complete Basic Guide

[@JamesDC42]

I'm a pro drifter, I hit that E-Brake, chose a direction then hold full throttle and hope for the best.

[@Samfitzyy]

Kitana Xiaou that is exactly how not to drift

[@clangswordsman4968]

@@Samfitzyy I do that and it works, you just gotta feather the counter steer.

[@burtonburtonburtonburtonburton]

If it doesn’t work, just rewind until it does

AWD?

[@Sockpoppet]

I love this game, just wish the map was larger. I love cruising around, exploring, driving for fun.

[@Sockpoppet]

..and, it would also be awesome if you could get out of the car, control your custom Avatar, walk around it, while ingame, similar to "Forza View" but more interactive, in a shareable experience with other players. A virtual Car Meet.

[@像水一样]

wish they had rocketbunny and more visual customization

[@davidcid8892]

Sockpoppet I agree with you. I always cruise around and (try) to drift. Sometime I gun It in my mosler.

[@davidcid8892]

I go fast a lot

[@newageBoundhippie]

yeah, same....and pretty much all the serious enjoyment I get from these games too. Just driving around is kind of fun....once i try to actually do stuff though, that's when the frustration sets in. I can't drive at all without the assists, and struggle against new racer Drivatars. I get lucky a lot, but the rewind button gets used more often than a CPU Ryu throws Hadoukens in Street Fighter....I lose control that bad that often. But hey, I still have some fun just cruising around the map listening to Pulse.

[@fluffycommander]

I love how even if you screw it up, Horizon still rewards you for at least trying it.

[@TC9700Gaming]

Hope you guys enjoy this video! It's aimed at people just starting out but if you have any other tips for beginner drifters, leave them in the comments!

[@aceofspades7220]

Is this possible with a controller?

[@vellyjatt1091]

He does it with a controler

[@nikolasael1]

You want to learn real drifting? And just do the same on video games?..just watch Keiichi Tsuchiya videos on youtube to learn..even in real life

[@samuelmorrison6283]

Did you do this with a wheel

[@joethehoeless9650]

Where is this drift area

[@NightWolffff]

As someone who regularly drifts, i definitely would do EXACTLY as he said.

[@dylanlp7778]

NightWolf and for car tuning ? What are the characteristics of a drift setup ?

[@tax8477]

Dylan LP high camber in the front soft suspension high tire pressure locked diff and lower the braking pressure to about 20

[@jimym__]

I know how to drift now I need to learn how to drift on the wheel

[@gearheadjoker1763]

Same it's harder

[@treerexaudi]

same here!

[@jimym__]

SkrillexJoker2 much harder yeah

[@alfonso2jz5]

NoName98 don’t do it with simulation when DRIFTING though, harder to control. Counter steer right after your car starts going sideways

[@jimym__]

AJ 2JZZ thanks for the advice

[@Josh47147]

Fix the damn car up completely with the drift suspension and tune it. Use a higher psi for the rear tires, use lower downforce in the back and set your rear differential to stay locked 100%. Use your e-brake to initiate a drift, and your regular brake with your throttle to adjust speed.

[@rektedreplays9783]

I just download a tune called drift setup since I'm new to froza games

[@markzmza]

@@rektedreplays9783 It'a a good way to start, but soon you will realize that tuning it yourself is better and honestly opens up a whole new gameplay depth to the game. Plus if you download someone else's work you are locked and can't modify it soooo yeah

[@mango5916]

@@rektedreplays9783 you cant trust other ppl's tunes most of the time, if it says drift it might be ass, or its running race tires. If u want a tune watch "AnthonyPZC" he does drift builds and tuning on his channel

[@sleepyfish7555]

where is this?

[@S55_Marquise]

DarkPhantom 2509 Edinburgh area there’s a drag strip

[@freykenley8988]

Chill out my man, you should probably have played the campaign a bit before trying to drift. you go there plenty, the top gear levels have an entire freestyle section there that you can easily do even if you don’t know how to drift

[@7erten801]

i know the map an played it for a long time but i dont know how to drift, but he forgot that

[@user-ii2jo4nh4j]

Smh

[@TucanusFace]

Great vid. Not sure if you mentioned this is in past or future videos, but the nice weight transfer (Scandinavian flick) at 11:41 is also good practice to throw yourself into drift. Especially for tight corners As anyone with rally knowledge will know.

[@HeadBassVTEC]

btw the practice location is Greendale Airstrip....if you already found the TVR Cerbera Speed 12 barn find you can easily find it filtering the map for barn finds

eww stalker lmao I was joking

[@theRedpanda061]

YES!! Finally, a good tutorial!!! Thanks for the advice!

[@newageBoundhippie]

main thing I've learned looking up drift tips is I'll never be good at drifting in Forza. I honestly can't control ANY car without the assists on, never mind my being easily confused by manual shifting ( I'm autistic and have pretty bad reflexes & memory ). And no, it doesn't matter how much I try/practice. I can't get any better :( at least I can drift like a pro in Mario Kart Wii, 7 & 8....Forza will just have to be about enjoying the open world driving & the atmosphere for me

[@MrHydenSeek]

I hear you I have cancer and the treatment screws with my coordination. Drifting totally eludes me in Forza.

I just keep going in a damn circle, drifting with a wheel is hard as hell

[@JacketCK]

too real man, too real...

[@Zane_Alto]

same and im on a wheel too, drifting on a wheel is much different since you cant rapidly go left/right like you can on controller

[@Surr3alD3sign]

with a wheel im fairly certain its less about those micro corrections and more about control of your corrections since you cant make them as fast you need to make them more accurate bc you cant instantky fix them like you can on controller or keyboard

[@jamessherlock6912]

With a wheel is simple with a fecking Xbox controller you can't effectively counter stear at all there is way too much slack in the stick to do it effectively.

[@user-dx2mb9qp3i]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Found this very helpful

[@Chuter44]

THANK YOU!!! Couldn't figure out why I sucked ass so bad at drifting. Can't score 56k. for seasonal objective. 46k. was highest before this vid. Google, and this is the first video I watch. KEY MOMENTS: Stability Control & Traction Control must be OFF!!! I am now a drift GOD. 64k. score first run,... objective complete. Didn't even watch past that part. I can now drift non stop where ever I want with NO issues. Just drifted around a traffic circle for 5 mins. without breaking the drift, or losing control of a Formula Drift car. Thanks again!!!

[@LilDiabloRob]

Thank you TomCat. I’m not good at drifting. Just started using manual trans for drifting and it’s easier. I do appreciate it. I know I don’t own a rwd in real life, but this helps me keep up with my buds in FH4 and FM7.

Fantastic video, helped a lot. I'm new to drifting and using a wheel for racing games and I tried this and i definitely got better with the wheel but still couldn't go around in circles drifting, but as soon as I picked up the controller and applied your tips, i was drifting really well. Still need to practice with the wheel, it's really hard to not overcorrect when using it

My 43 viper doesn’t need an ebrake. It goes side ways when ever you touch the throttle. 1.7k horsepower no joke.

Using a g29 wheel and not sure if that makes it harder than a controller (will try controller later), but the wheel is 900º and I find it VERY DIFFICULT to quickly steer to all sides. Also, can only "drift" with AWD cars. RWD cars will ALWAYS oversteer and spin to a stop and I have no idea how to avoid that.
