Id like to become an instructor

Gamertag: Cowboy1894
Timezone: -5 (central)

I can be on from 7-10 monday to thursday, 6-10 friday, all day most weekends
I can teach various drift techniques and how to setup and tune a car for drifting.. willing to show current instructors my drifting to see if i am good enough to be an instructor myself.

Just thought i would check in. Kinda lost motivation with Forza recently but I will try to get on this weekend and start helping out, so how's the school going, do we have any more intstructors or graduates recently?

My entry on drifting is decent but when trying to chain or hold a drift i seem to slide out even when easing the throttle off and on plus ive been drifting since forza 2, if that means anything haha

GT: NonFilly

Eastern Time. I am normally on through parts of the day, however I am more likely free towards the evening. Message me on Xbox Live would be the best way to get a hold of me.

My issue: I believe is the continuation to hold a drift. Either I spin half way through, or the car straightens out and rockets me to the outside.

History: Most of the time, I have been drifting Unmodified cars, "Showroom Cars". I buy a car I enjoy and drift it stock. If i want to make it more serious, then i add alittle modifications here and there. In FM4 i had a only like 2 extreme drift builds. My pure black 71 Mach 1 Mustang with 540 HP was my Fuji Drifter (A class). I didn't need all of the horsepower obviously, I used alot of throttle control, and i am very familiar and comfortable with doing so. My most powerful Drift car was also another 71 Mach 1 made for larger tracks with about 810 HP(A 9** and S 605). Like i said, throttle control. I have been kicked from a handful of public lobbies due to my likes of drifting stock cars. After I win, a Vote To Kick pops up most the time.. I have drifted a stock D class 71 Mustang on Fuji countless times and won, all the way up to stock R2 class cars (GT2, GT1) and even a couple R1 cars and won. I also have a B class Hummer that i won against a bet that i couldn't beat them in it.

My Builds: In FM4 when i did build drift cars, I normally just went with Sports Grade parts. Sports Suspension, Sports/Race Brakes, Roll Cage, Sport Weight Reduction, Sport Tires and the likes. I don't normally touch the engine of a car unless i have bigger plans for it.

Goal: I don't really drift for points, however i do in lobbies. Mostly i go for style. My goal is to start small. Later as i get more comfortable i will start drifting higher class cars (north of S class). As a personal challenge, i wish to make a drift indy car. I already have the start of one i think, but until i can be more comfortable with drifting, I won't know.

Anything I might of forgotten, I'm not sure.

Your drift rating (1-10): 2 ( maybe. I don't have much to compare. I can get some good drifts every now and then but I'm looking to be more consistent. I'd like to be able to hold a nice drift through an entire turn. I tend to come in too fast and slide right through or come in to slow and sort of stop. )
(Optional) Desired Instructor: any

My main goal for drifting right now is to get points in some of the different drifting rival events. Additionally, I'd like to get some info on how to build a drift tune so that I can build up different cars.

New to gaming and Forza 5 and wanting to learn how to DRIFT....

Gamertag = RelaxedPRKid

Skill Level = zippo (got a perfect drift -- not deliberately, lol!, 33 good drifts, again not deliberate)
By the way, where does one find such in the game?

Any instructor is welcomed!

PST zone, yet can work around times/days.

**NOTE: Will be out until next Monday and w/o my XBox One / FM5.

Thanks for considering to teach me how to drift.

p.s. Only seen several videos online and build/tuned the RX-7 per Dis Swirly's video.

I'm looking for some help with drifting. I'm not bad in FM4, but in FM5 i just suck, i've been trying to get the hang of it for so long, i think i need someone to tune my car for me as i don't understand it myself. or just some practice with others, I'm from Ireland and my timezone is GMT 0.

i would love to get better at drifting in Forza 5. I used to be descent in Forza 4, but it seems all has changed since Forza 5 has been released. Below is my application to be a student.

I have already set up a beginner drift build on a RX-7, I think it's at least decent as it is, since it's pretty close to some popular drift builds of the same car. If anybody would like to help me at least get the basics down, I'd be more than grateful. Thanks to the community in advance!
