Drift Gran Turismo 5 Cars: BMW Z4

Video Transcript

"Welcome back, this time we're in our BMW Z4, it has a little more horsepower than the Cappuccino, which I was driving a little earlier so you're going to have to pay attention to your throttle inputs a lot more, in this car, than you do in the Cappuccino. There's not a whole lot of power, it's not overwhelming, it's a good place to start after you've handled the Cappuccino. Same idea as the Cappuccino, you want to use a lot of weight shift to get the drift started and then balance it out with your steering and throttle inputs. We just did half a lap, we'll do a full lap right after this, maybe you guys can see the difference in my throttle inputs and probably furthering a lot more, than I was in the Cap, simply because it has a little more horsepower and it can get the back end out a little more easily. In a car like this you want to make sure you control your entry speed because it does have more horsepower, you're going to be going a little faster down these straight sections so you might want to start your braking a little earlier then you were in the other car. Throttle input is key, you go and try and match the weight shift you've put on the car through your steering inputs. Here we go onto this long corner, you just want to make sure you keep your speed at a comfortable level so you can control the car and balance it with your throttle and steering inputs. Almost done with this lap, just come up here to this fast corner coming up. You could probably just lift off here a little bit and just get the car sliding. This last corner you just want to brake, brake, brake, stay on the line and throw the car sideways. That's it. That's pretty much your low mid-horsepower car. Just remember to control your engine speed, that's the key point you want to concentrate on and use that weight shift that you learned how to do in your Cappuccino, and you guys will be drifting these kind of cars in no time."
