Oh, this explains how some people could easily gain like 20 second leads on everyone else even though nobody even crashed or anything. I was kinda debating if they had unlimited NOS or something. Thanks for the explanation

Nice video, you learn quick for sure. The gear shift thing I was telling you about. Go to 2:32, your car was stuck in 5th. I would have tapped the nos really quick before the drift ended to get into 6th and also gain a little more speed. You don't need to hold it, just tap it as fast as you can and the car will shift up. I think the threshold on the viper is 334 so you can tap the nos anytime above that speed and get 6th gear. The benefits are you aren't using a second worth of NOS while your car shifts, you gain a little extra speed from your drift too and finally you get an instant boost of speed when you straighten out without delay. See ya on the track

Hi, you know when you go into drift recovery and you do that little drift at the end to keep the speed up is that automatic or do you tap the X/square button a little bit for support? I’m not terrible at races but sometimes I struggle to maintain speeds which cost me positions. Thanks for this

[@carlovergts02]

Ah, this is the same thing we used to do in Payback. So it’s in this game too huh?

I played nfs since I was a little kid and thought I knew it all until I did an interceptor online, the match lasted a good 10-15 minutes, and the only reason he got away was because he drifted way faster than I did, and eventually he got away. So after that match I’m here to learn how to drift again😂🤦🏽‍♂️thanks for the tips though

[@mysticzz6685]

Drifting is easy, the hard part is maintaining your lead while others had crazy slipstream while trying not to crash and getting the absolute perfect line every single time, not to mention turbo conservation is very important

[@Otherface]

So far i always felt that i was doing something wrong with drifting in this game. Sometimes people easily passed me while drifting and i wasn't going that past. Thanks for this video. I will try to do it.

[@officialvisaural]

Trying to do this on keyboard right now. It’s quite difficult - is drift recovery all about preventing the car from ‘snapping’ at the end of its drift (making a smooth transition from drift angle to 0 deg dead ahead)?

I prefer turning with the D-pad in this game on PS4 so I had to live without this. I didn't like the default controls when I first startled playing. I still got the platinum trophy with the D-pad though back in November.

[@LQVaughn]

Does the car being “straight” mean lined up with the road? Or does it mean the drift angle is now 0 degrees? Also, after the car is straight do you just let go of the stick and let the car “crab walk and do it’s own thing? Or do you need to keep correcting with the stick to keep it as straight as possible?

[@dreadhavoc]

I usually just tap the handbrake (I play pc and switch and it works on both) starting my drift close to the rails and letting the car swiftly coast itself to the other side of the road, then I’ll use nitrous. You can try it yourself, I’ve been doing this since this original and I’ve been able to gain 20-40 Second leads doing it. Hoping someone doesnt ram into you like its forza.

@@Enea_28 what mod is there for it. Can you please explain?

[@adventurouseddie9369]

Ever since I got this game on the Switch, I never use the brakes, I drift by quickly letting off acceleration for a fraction and slide away with great speed

[@diegomoran1923]

I always lose more speed this way, how do you do it?

[@adventurouseddie9369]

@@diegomoran1923 I quickly tap the acceleration to initiate while right as I'm about to turn. During the drift you need to maintain the drift by flicking the stick left and right and when exiting keep that going until you've reached good speed it exit out of. Also important to use nitrous out of turns to capture lost speed if any or to push your car past it's limit My rule of thumb is to only use Rear Wheels for drifting since they benefit the most from drifts while All Wheels are better at taking the line. Also to consider is the amount of gears or top speed of the car, cars with less gears reach top speed easily and some cars with less speed benefit the most from nitrous. Prime example of this being the RX8, this car despite it's top speed can easily reach up to 180mph with a full tank of nitrous, another good example of the opposite is the Aston Martin One 77, it can reach 221mph but has gears widely spread out and doesn't benefit from nitrous boost. if

[@Sashality]

Is there any detailed explanation on how speed recovery works? I just can't recover any speed from drift, no matter how much I lower the angle. Let alone exit with exact same speed as on entry.

[@lolickypeepee23xdd6]

imo the vid didnt say it best, basically you want to snap out of the drift without losing the drift- as you suddenly straighten out, you have to still be drifting, its a bit weird to explain lets say i nitro to over top speed approaching a corner, tap handbrake, get towards the end, start exiting the turn, straighten out back towards straight driving, but still drifting until the speed is back- dont stop drifting until your speed is back, you want to get straightened out as much as possible while staying in the drift and maintain it with crabwalking works in every car but the best for practice are super series ones like the black series and v12 vantage, they are STUPID levels of smooth in drifting

it works on ps3. Plenty of sweats from the og days can attest to that 😂

[@Sephivoiceactor]

The unoptimal way...how are you doing that without randomly going quickly against the left wall out of nowhere despite letting go of the acceleration and trying to start acceleration again once the car is pointed in the right direction? Hell, even when using NOS once pointed the correct way.. It seems impossible to turn corners. I had this problem in NFS Underground 2 back in the day, and NFS: High Stakes as a kid. Could never figure out how NOT to end up hitting the walls very, very, hard, even when trying to slow down on corners.

[@lolickypeepee23xdd6]

you dont slow down on corners for this game like you do in the older ones, you tap the brake and enter a drift and hold onto it as you straighten out, if you hit the walls you are not drifting tight enough and if you hit the wall you are going around you arent crab walking out enough/had to go faster
