Went looking for a great tutorial I found, to help a friend... Couldn't find it. Lame.
I have a very specific setup for when I drift, but I can do it easily with a normal car (tuning for forza 4, non for horizon) I usually do everything right to left.. All transmission mods, all suspension mods, wheels and tyres, body, THEN engine... once I hit engine, I keep it within S class, high S class is my sweet spot for it. I am weird though, I run roll cage (stiffens up the ride) sway bars all around, race tyres, and for wheels, I put rears on maximum size, and fronts on one size less than biggest. So if rears are 18inch, I put my fronts at 17inch.
Then, technique comes into it... There is a few different styles, as a user above mentioned. I usually go into a corner fairly quickly (depends on the corner) turn facing away from the corner, then flick into the corner, pulling the acc trigger. That should make you lose traction, then you just have to feather the throttle and counter steer. Not a great description, but it's what I do... Either that or just handbrake to get that first slide happening.
I use rwd cars... awd cars don't work anywhere near as well for me. Abs ON, traction and stability OFF, line OFF, Manual WITHOUT CLUTCH (just my personal preference .. no clutch kicks, which I should probably get into the habit of trying), Steering NORMAL. And yeah, that's what I do... I only really drift in forza 4, hah. Been missing it in horizons, might see if there are any drift servers.
