My 5 Faourite Drift Cars in Forza Motorsport 6

The 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo (if auto upgraded to B class)

Who said classics can’t drift? Even an ‘80s BMW can drift. I found it out during a community rivals challenge where you had to drive a B class Bimmer 2002 on Bathurst. I did kind of good, and at the end, it became a good drift car. You don’t even have to tune the car, because Forza sets the chamber in a way that it’s ready for drifting! It doesn’t just look awesome, it’s a do everything car. You can put in 4 different engines, swap it to AWD and so on. It can do drag racing, normal racing, wheelies (maybe) and others… It’s just so good!

The 2012 Vauxhall Astra VXR (tuned)

Yes, you read it right! The professional chav’s car. Mine has a police wrap on it by the way, have been converted to RWD, and have been maxed out. It’s not very stable, needs some correcting. It hasn’t got crazy amounts of chamber, and nor toe. The differential has been locked, the springs have been softened (I’m not joking!) and the ride has been slammed a bit. The anti-roll bars were stiffened a bit too, meanwhile the damping is softer. The brakes haven’t been touched, nor the tyre pressure, and the gear ratios have been modified.

2013 SRT Team Forza Viper GTS (untouched)

Now, you may think that I’m crazy because i wrote untouched. Believe it or not, I’m absolutely right. This car is ALMOST set up for drifting! if you want, you can lower it or do minor modifications. However, I didn’t. I took it to Silverstone and started drifting it, it went very well. The key is that it’s chamber is 1.5 degrees on the front and 2.0 degrees at the rear, and 0.1 degrees of additional toe on the rear. It has soft anti-roll bars, stiff suspension and damping with moderate downforce. It hasn’t got a locked differential though, but it’s really stable.

2008 Aston Martin Team Forza DBS (also untouched)

It has got around the same tune settings as the snake above. It’s also really stable and if you don’t want to drift, you can just go along while not sliding this masterpiece. You can enhance the brakes, put in a better roll cage, equip it with aftermarket rims and put on drag tyres. If you want, swap the engine, put on a supercharger, or if you fancy some AWD sliding, no problem!

1997 BMW E36 M3 (tuned)

It might not be stable, but it’s still good. It has maxed out everything (excluding the engine) with no front anti-roll bars and a sports roll cage, sports tyre compound, stock front tyre width and maximum rear tyre width including the stock rims. It has the stock engine, stayed RWD and it got a turbo. The engine has race camshafts, race pistons, a race turbo and a race intercooler. I decreased the tyre pressure, added some chamber and front toe, added some steering lock and stiffened the rear anti-roll bars. I slammed it, stiffened the suspension, softened the damping, increased brake pressure and biased to the rear and locked the diff.
