I put together this guide on how to drift on Forza 3. I hope it is helpful for you. I haven’t included much information about tuning cars because I wanted this guide to be focused on the theory behind actually drifting a car, not how to build a car. Also tuning a car is very complicated so would take a long time to explain. Another reason is because to properly show how to tune I would need a capture card to record with, which I do not have. FAQ: Should I use a rear wheel drive (RWD) or all wheel drive (AWD) car? You should use RWD. AWD isn’t proper drifting because the front wheels give drive so the technique for “drifting” AWD is very simplistic and is not accepted at true drifting. A lot of drifters will also give you abuse for using AWD. What is a good car to start with? Any of the Nissan Silvias are a good car to try. The S-14 (K’s) is probably the easiest to use. Other good cars are the Toyota Trueno (use low power with that, 300bhp is plenty), Mazda RX-7, Nissan 350Z or any of the Subaru Imprezas IF you convert them to RWD. Do I need to use a controller or a steering wheel? You can use either. Most people (including me) use a controller simply because a good steering wheel costs a lot of money. Which is best to use? With a steering wheel you can pull off a smoother and slightly neater looking drift since you have more control over how much you want to steer. It does not make you any faster or give you noticeably more angle. A controller is easier to use if you
