Forza+xbox 360 is your best bet.

other than that grid 2 might be ok

Ahh yeh. I have Forza 4 and Forza Horizon on the xbox360. Spent quite a bit of time drifting on Forza 4. I got good, then I bought a wheel. lol.

Live For Speed is a few years old now but still one of the most natural feeling for drifting, there's even drift servers still alive.

Live for speed does sound good.

Ile wait till next pay day though. (2 weeks). Ive already bought the race07 dlc, iRacing for 3 months, GTR2. Enough games for this month. As as a new pc chair and secondary monitor lol.

Is Live For Speed a subscription game?

My cousin plays live for speed for the drifting and he's competing in the BDC this year so i 'd be inclined to go for that.

Oki. Has it changed much over the years because sometimes I see Live For Speed videos and the cars look terrible.

LFS is easily the right answer, anything after that is just plain wrong. Its honest simulation and the fact that you choose to drift with it is your choice, its not something thats coded into the game as a mode where they adjust grip/slip variables, its legit and it simply works because it works IRL too.
Im not remotely interested in drifting, but theres a decent community on there for it, cars to suit it, the option of free-roam tracks rather than having just 1 option around the track. Theres also demo access which is enough to try the drifting mode in the XRG around Blackwood on a drift server before needing to buy a license.

Will download the demo now. Only thing is it seems people use LFS1 for drifting.

I did say a few posts up basically what Paul said. Paul has given you the best answer and I wouldn't consider anthing else. If you are using this as a tool to learn real life drifting in a safe environment.

People use LFs1 package as its comes with the XRT and thats all most of them use to drift. LFS2 comes with everything. IMO get LFS2 get all the content and support teh devs.

They deserve it they created a cracking simulator.

Just downloaded the demo.

Cheers guys.
