Easy money
The cars you can buy with the money you are given at the start are not too fast Instead of racing people at night which does not give you any money at first concentrate on the first set of day races Win first rank in each race and you will be able to race in the second category Repeat this until you can race in class 3 You will then be able to amass about 1000000cp per day If you skip night racing for about the first ten days and only race during the day you will be able to amass about 10000000cp and buy yourself an amazing car
How to drift 4WD cars
Drifting 4WD is very similar to FF drifting as the front wheels are the power wheels but in this case so are the rear ones As you approach the turn use the quotFeintquot motion and lock up the rear wheels by using the handbrake R2 by default and turn into the turn You will begin to slide around the turn but once you rear the apex you will most likely need to pick up some more speed Release the handbrake then get back on it when the angle starts to decrease and you will have more speed to complete the turn Depending on the turn you may or may not have to turn into it the whole time Many turns can be taken with quotzero countersteerquot meaning that you just use throttle control to keep the car drifting On some turns it is easier to use the regular brake along with the handbrake while turning into the corner then get off the regular brake and then drift it like a FF car from there
How to drift FF cars
Drifting FF cars is considered quotunnatural in the world of drifting though in this game it is actually is quite a bit easier than MR or FR cars As you approach the turn use the quotFeintquot motion and lock up the rear wheels by using the handbrake R2 by default and turn into the turn You will begin to slide around the turn but once you rear the apex you will most likely need to pick up some more speed Let off the handbrake then get back on it when the angle starts to decrease You will have more speed to complete the turn
How to drift FR cars
Drifting FR cars is a little complicated at first but with some practice it becomes second nature Many have quite a bit of oversteer when going into turns Using different techniques can help you tame or push this oversteer factor to its limits The technique used depends upon the driver and the car Techniques used to drift FR cars include power over feinting and quotrace driftingquot All of these techniques are further explained below
How to drift MR cars
Drifting MR cars is a little complicated as well but like FR cars you just need some practice What makes drifting MR cars difficult is the fact that the motor is located in the middle leaving no weight on the front and makes the back a little heavier causing it to have more oversteer as the back will come out easier than a FR car Many have quite a bit of oversteer when going into turns Using different techniques can help you tame or push this oversteer factor to its limits The best technique depends upon the driver and the car Techniques used to drift FR can also be used to drift MR cars including power over feinting and quotrace driftingquot All of these techniques are further explained below
Powerbraking
If you are having trouble with uphills or cannot seem to drift in 4WDs or cannot get point in the really small drift sections try powerbraking Hold the emergency brake and accelerator at the same time You will be amazed at how out of control you can get your car This works especially well on snowy uphills
Race Drifting
The power over technique mentioned above is good for the shallow corners but the deeper longer corners are a little too windy to drive through full speed There is a separate technique for this You can use the power over move depending on the severity of the corner but just a little tap on the handbrake to swing the back out helps quite a bit Note This is for FR and MR cars as FF and 4WD have their own drifting techniques
Reverse and not lose points
When you reverse after you spin out you will begin to lose points fairly quickly To avoid this just slam on the handbrake as soon as you see it going down then go forward
