Recently, some friends have consulted the editor about how to drift in Forza Horizon 5. The following is the drift method of Forza Horizon 5. Friends in need can come and learn more.

Principle part

Drifting is used in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Whether front-wheel drive can drift, of course it can, but it is not as consistent and lasting as rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. This article explains four-wheel drive drift.

So the principle of drift is to make the rear wheel slip while the front wheel maintains a certain grip, causing a state on the verge of losing control. Why is it said to be on the verge of losing control? Because drifting itself makes the car frantically test on the edge of losing control.

Starting to drift

So here are some commonly used drifting methods: handbrake, pendulum, and power slide.

I won’t talk about drifting when braking, because it will come naturally after everyone becomes proficient.

Let’s talk about the handbrake first. When the car speed reaches a certain speed, just turn the direction and pull the handbrake. This should be the most familiar one to everyone. Just turn the direction, pull the handbrake and step on the accelerator, and the car will pass.

Powered drifting uses the powerful torque of the engine to cause the rear wheels to slip by slamming the accelerator and control the car to drift. This can be said to be the simplest. Even sometimes when running on road races, it will drift when you don't want the power to start drifting.

Maintain drift

There are many reasons why the drifting posture cannot be maintained:

​​ 1. The car’s adjustment itself is not suitable for drifting;

​ 2. Not enough understanding of the vehicle condition;

​ ​ 3. Operational issues.

There are too many solutions to problem 1. Just find a calibration kit that has a high rating or someone else has used it well. There is no shortcut for problem 2, you can only get familiar with it slowly. The focus now is on problem 3, the drift process. How to maintain posture.

To maintain drifting, you must first understand the role of accelerator, brake and handbrake in drifting. Let’s talk about it in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

The accelerator causes the rear wheel to continue to slip. Throttle control is a very important part of drifting and must be learned as well as direction control. If you step on the accelerator, it will easily spin, that is, 180 degrees; if you give too little accelerator, it will cause the wheel to spin. The rear wheel could not slide and regaining grip caused the drift to be interrupted.

                                                                                                we spend more time with full throttle when maintaining the posture, because I play with the keyboard, so there are only two states of the accelerator being welded in, and not stepping on the accelerator.

Therefore, the gear ratio is usually adjusted to full fuel and just the speed near the red line. In this way, if you step on it, the meter will cut off the fuel because the speed is too high, and it will not cause insufficient horsepower due to insufficient speed and the drift will not be far away.

Basic drift practice method

1. Fixed circle

During the process, use the handbrake and throttle to adjust the posture to cut into the fixed circle route, and then use the throttle and counterattack to adjust the posture. If you are pursuing a large angle, you can use a small amount of handbrake to make the angle larger.

Static state power rises, and then maintains the angle and route through the anti -hit and throttle.

You can perform upshifting and downshifting operations in the middle of the circle to find the most comfortable gear, but the premise is that there should not be too many upshifts, otherwise there will not be enough torque to interrupt drifting.

After you are proficient in setting the circle, you can practice figure 8. On the basis of the figure 8, you need to cooperate with the brake and handbrake to counterattack at a large angle and maintain the angle. You also need to have a certain understanding of the vehicle conditions, otherwise it is easy to lose control when counterattacking, including collision. Off the road, rushing towards the apex of the bend, or the drift is interrupted.

3. 360 degree rotation

The handbrake is drifting, and when the car comes, the transgence is hung, and then the direction is hit in the opposite direction. At this time, the purpose of the brake is to limit the front wheel speed and lock the rear wheel to ensure that the front wheels grasp the ground.

                        Then repeat this contact. Once you’re proficient, you can keep turning as long as the road is straight.

4. J-shaped rotation

When starting to drift, immediately after the car drifts sideways, put the reverse gear in the forward direction (the so-called forward driving means that if it drifts to the right, turn to the right; if it drifts to the left, turn to the left), the car will turn 180 degrees and turn around. Continue to refuel.

                Then when the car comes sideways again, engage the forward gear that matches the current speed, the front of the car will straighten, and then adjust the direction to straighten the car or proceed to the next round.

5. Brake drift

The first method is to release the accelerator when reaching a corner without applying the brakes, then control the direction and rely on the speed of the vehicle to inertia through the corner. You need to pay attention to the timing of cornering.

The second method is to press the brake lightly while holding down the accelerator. At this time, you need to be careful not to step on the brake, otherwise it will easily tilt.

The third method is to directly release the accelerator when turning, tap the brake lightly and drift over. This also requires attention to the timing and distance of the corner.
