One of the most loved and admired things about GTA Online is the racing element. Several players enjoy racing around Los Santos. Especially after the Los Santos Car Meet update, more and more players are getting involved in acting activities in GTA Online.
Among the several racing skills and techniques available, one of the most famous ones is drifting. It is basically a driving technique wherein one intentionally oversteers while maintaining control of the car, to take a corner successfully. The trick of drifting can be mastered by players who wish to show off their skills in the game’s open world.
As one participates in more and more races, this becomes an important skill. It becomes increasingly beneficial to help players get an advantage while taking corners.
What is the drift tune in GTA Online?
Among the drifting techniques is the unique element of artistry in performing smooth drifts in GTA 5, GTA Online, or for that matter any other game with a driving system. In the last few years, players usually made use of certain mods or servers to be able to successfully drift in the game.
Rockstar has taken the drifting a step ahead, by adding the official drift tune and modification to GTA 5 and GTA Online. The recent Winter Update of GTA 5 and Chop Shop update in GTA Online are now live. These updates are turning out to be one of the biggest in terms of additions to the game including vehicles.
The update adds new vehicles as well as the drift tune or modification for the cars. Before players get started with drift tuning in GTA Online, there are a few things that players should know about drift tuning, there are two major things that players should note.
First is when players install the Drift Modification, any other modification previously installed will be uninstalled, and players can tune the engine or other internal parts. Secondly, the drift tuning technique is only applicable to a few cars.
Which vehicles can get the drift tune?
Not all cars in GTA Online are capable of drift tuning. There are only a specific number of cars that players can install the drift tune on. These are:
- Dinka Jester RR
- Annis Remus
- Annis ZR350
- Annis Euros
- Declasse Drift Yosemite
- Karin Futo GTX
- Fantom FR36
- Declasse Drift Tampa
In case players do not own any of these cars in their garage, they must buy one to use drift tuning. Players can easily purchase these vehicles Southern San Andreas or Legendary Motorsport. Once purchased, they can visit the LS Car Meet with their car of choice to install the drift tune. A menu containing different modification options appears, players can easily spot the Drift Tuning option since it appears at the very top of the list.
