Drift Gran Turismo 5 Cars: Tuscan TVR

Video Transcript

"Welcome back, this time we are in a Tuscan TVR. It has a little more horsepower than the Z that we tried earlier so that power comes out a little more. So you are going to have to pay attention once again to your throttle application in your corners as well as your weight shifting that we learned in the lower horse power cars. It is really a combination of using the power and the weight shift to get the car around the corner sideways. So right there we kind of drifted but not really we weren't in the right gear and that is kind of what happens when you kind of under steer through the corner. So let's take the TVR around for a lap and see if you guys can spot any differences between this car and the previous FR cars that we drove so here we go. The first corner you are going to have to keep an eye on your entry speed even more so start braking even earlier, use the throttle to get back out. You will find that this car is very touchy. So you are going to have to really use all that we have learned in previously to get this car to drift nice and smooth so again we are going pretty fast here. This car is hard to drive. It is a little twitchy so that was too much throttle. See you are going to mess up, just don't be afraid of it, it just means that you are reaching the limit and you'll soon find how to keep the car on that limit with balanced throttle and steering. So let's try that again, the corner one is pretty fast so start braking really really early, whoops, too much throttle. It is o'kay if you mess up just keep going, the more and more you drive you will find the less mistakes you are going to start making and you are going to start getting these transitions nice and smooth. A car like this is easier to drift in a sense because you can use more power application to get the back end out like so, it is just a bunch of power over. But you still want to keep shifting the car's weight always forward before a turn and always try and be balanced keeping the car under control. You don't want to put in large inputs, smaller inputs will be better for higher horse powered cars and you can use your throttle to get around the corner. So that is pretty much drifting in a mid high horse power car like TVR Tuscan or like maybe an M3, they are a little more touchy but they are also more rewarding to get around the course and hold you. So practice it, you are going to mess up but that is part of drifting so have fun with it."
