Tonymac said:To enter a drift early you need SPEED and timing. I was only touching on what I consider real early entry drifts before I sold my car so at times I was all over the place (enter too early or too late). Manji and downshifting is just not going to cut it - that's defeating the purpose anyway b/c you're just going too slow. Basically while you're on the straight, stay to the inside of the lane (in relation to the upcoming turn). As you approach the turn, veer to the outside with moderate aggressiveness. Once there, clutch kick HARD while cutting in HARD. Again, this takes TIMING. Adjust throttle and counter. The rule of thumb I made was that I was trying to get my car to full lock at the same point where all the black marks were from everybody else's entries. After that you can correct with throttle and/or e-brake. I would not recommend you try this out on the streets.
Juan Henao said:bro all u have to do is hold down circle and counter with the joystick till the car is in the proper angle.
if u get too much angle the let go of the circle button for a split second and get on it again, repeat as nesesary. when u line up for the perfect reace line hit the x button and hold it. if u get too much angle tapp it a few times to help u regain grip. do not hit square unles u realy need to cause the ur front end will slow down too much and u might spin. game shark is not needed for this.![]()
throttle and e-brake to maintain the angle if the way to do it. have fun :bigthumbu
Tonymac said:Stop watch the drift bible!
Using the ebrake negates the purpose of a braking drift. Braking drifts work well in cars like e30's and FC's b/c of the rear suspension. When the front end takes on all the load, the rear tires lose a lot of traction. In a 240, they maintain grip and you understeer (unless you're car's setup to oversteer by running shitty rear tires, reverse stagger, messing w/ the subframe angle, toe out in the rear, ect). Its really just trail-braking and not a drift technique anyway. Only difference is you hammer on the gas when you're trying to drift instead of modulate the throttle to point the car straight.

Tonymac said:Shift locks, brake drifts, and holding the ebrake are all gay. From all the vids I saw of people at the triangle, ebrakes were held up for far too long (hence all the "early entries"). There is good reason why you never see any of those techniques in professional drifting.
Old vid but more of what a real early entry is:

Tonymac said:I'm not bashing, but people boast about the entries at that place constantly. And without a radar, all these speeds are speculation.
Tonymac said:You're right. In relation to entering early, it doesn't make sense to use them but they are legitimate drift techniques. I just feel like there's better ways to get the job done.
