General Tuning Guide To Drift In GTA 5 / GTA Online:

Armour- Doesn't Matter
Brakes - Stock
Engine - EMS Upgrade, Level 4
Bumpers / Grill / Skirts Etc. - Doesn't matter (much)
Spoiler - Stock (Some very high powered cars like banshee can use it if its too slippery for you)
Suspension: Personal Preference - Lower = less grip - I reccomend Sport
Transmission - Slower cars = stock (handbrake drifting) - Faster cars = Race Transmission (Clutch Dump/ High Speed Drifts)
Bulletproof tires - ABSOLUTELY NOT
Wheel Type: Any other than Offroad is fine - personal preference

Hope you enjoyed the video!


—Please Note from 11:54 onwards - you do not use the handbrake like earlier - you turn in - double clutch and then use your throttle and counter steering to control your car!

If you liked the editing style of this video let me know!

[Beliar_VR]

Dude, thats the first time i understand the mechanics of drifting due to your basic drifting tutorial ! Thx so much

[heisenberg]

DUDE. You have no idea how much this helped. I was stuck watching advanced tips confused out of my mind, your explanation of basic drift in is helping so so much

[MrLexyy-glim]

[raychauvette]

The way you drive is so smooth its reminiscent of halo and how the vehicles just follow your cursor lol

[ShuyaTheDark]

LMAO I thought drifting was just pressing buttons. Turns out there's drift builds?!

Day 2 of practicing: I’m starting to get the hang of drifting, with the exception of the hairpin turns and the full circle drifts around an object. I’m using the 9k Karin futo tuned like in your video, but with the low grip tires. The issue I’m having is that I’m spinning out toward the end of the turn. I’ve been practicing in the test track

[prazdiecastgarage]

Dude I can’t thank you enough i started drifting more today and I’ve mastered the futo drifting and I’m practicing with the banshee and I’m getting very good at it

[RaVeDaVe-uhyr]

Watchin' dis at 2 am is immaculate, 'n trippy

[clicks]

i started a couple of hours ago this is such a good explanation in like 1 to 5 hours i was able to drift normally without spinning out

[Eristocrap]

Can we get an updated version of this tutorial please with the futo gtx

[Rlzzalisa]

Nah but that first 30 second ad is actually making me excited to learn how to drift

[MontageManac]

Now I know this was 2y ago but something to help with the bullet proof tires is go to the car meet and you will be able to remove the bullet proof tires hope this helped😊

[danildaby]

[nahspionmio]

[EMBOV]

I recently started YouTube too and I know how it feels to repeat myself and I don’t mind that you leave links to a lot of other videos and you other guys who don’t know how it feels to make YouTube videos don’t hate on this guy.

[IIVZTUAII]

Don’t see anyone drifting even with the new update.

I love drifting and this video is spot on.

[absolute_vk]

4:05 how to do this without damaging my vehicle even if i shoot in the middle of tire it starts smoking

[holloween]

Thank you so much looks like I gotta sell some cars though I was wondering why i couldn’t stance them… I do have a question about the Previn I won from casino it has a upgrade that kicks the wheels out. Do ya think that’s useful?
