Default What driving simulator or driving game do you use for drifting?

I tried rFactor, it sucks for drifting but is good for road courses.
I've been using Live For Speed, which seems fairly good for drifting.
Any others? I'm running on a PC, but wouldn't mind a game system if it's realistic for drift practice.

I'm sure this belongs in a different forum, but I want to ask people who actually drift .

Live for speed isn't bad, it just takes a lot of practice to control a car with a mouse, unless if you're lucky and own a wheel.

Other than that I like to mess around in Forza 3, which I'm sure will be the popular answer amongst most of the guys here.

Live for speed is the best, physics wise, period. But you need to get a logitech g25 or logitech g27 with proper settings and it feels real as can be 900 degrees, gated shifter, and a clutch. I use it for practice when I can't be in my real car, and am pretty confident my driving skill is above most.

Here is a vid of me and my setup to give you an idea, not sure if you already have the g25 or not.

NFS underground2 when the car is fully upgraded and setup ok I felt was very good for an acrade drifter. its feel of how a car would glide felt pretty good for a NFS game. its no sim, but i hate getting all super into car setup stuff like sims.

I'm using a Driving Force GT, which I think is similar to a G25 but with a sequential shifter?

You have mad skills, my friend. You're moving the wheel a lot faster than I have been; it slips off my desk if I throw it around too quick. Nothing a couple of drywall screws can't fix.

The driving force series is completely different and shittier than the G25/7. I have a Driving force pro and hate my life when I see G25s. The G25 has a quieter force feedback, clutch pedal, H-pattern shifter, and the quality is just sooo much better.
