FH6 Drifting Guide — How to Drift Like a Pro
Drifting in FH6 is about car setup as much as skill. Here's everything you need to 3-star every drift zone.
Best Drift Cars in FH6
| Car | Class | Drivetrain | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota GR Supra (A90) | A/S1 | RWD | Best all-around drift car. Easy to control, huge angle. |
| Nissan Silvia S15 | A | RWD | JDM drift icon. Lightweight, responsive. |
| Formula Drift #43 Viper | S1 | RWD | Ready to drift out of the box. 1,350 hp. |
| Mazda RX-7 Spirit R | A | RWD | Rotary engine, lightweight, cult classic. |
| BMW M4 Competition | S1 | RWD | Modern drift car, plenty of torque. |
| Toyota Sprinter Trueno | B | RWD | Initial D legend. Low power = technique matters. |

Driving Technique
- Initiate: Approach the corner at moderate speed. Tap the e-brake (handbrake) briefly to break rear traction, or use a Scandinavian flick (steer away then into the corner).
- Sustain: Use throttle to control angle. More throttle = more angle + more wheelspin. Less throttle = less angle. The throttle is your primary steering tool in a drift — countersteer with the wheel, but control with the gas pedal.
- Transition: To switch direction, lift off the throttle briefly, let the car straighten, then reapply throttle as you steer the opposite way.
- Score: Drift zone scores depend on speed, angle, and duration. Stay as fast as possible while maintaining maximum angle. Each zone has a sweet spot speed — find it and stay there.
Controller vs Steering Wheel
Controller is actually easier for drifting in FH6. The game's steering assist helps with counter-steering speed. If using a wheel, set steering rotation to 540° and turn down force feedback strength to avoid fighting the wheel during transitions.
