One rule.
Control before speed.
If you try to go at full speed, you'll crash/lose control eventually. When that happens, you lose a lots more time than if you would have taken the turn slow and easy.

Brake. I personally never use the e-brake as it is usually pretty much the same thing as the brake, except it'll often make you lose control.
Slow down before the turn, then take it. The speed at which you might want to slow down is entirely up to you.
Give it a few tries with different speed/technique, and you'll find what is perfect for you. Keep practicing, the more you practice, the easier it will get.

Thanks! I actually see that brake is quite useful, as I've nevr used it before, and now if I use it hard enough, it feels like e-brake, just without lossing control on failure (worst case is I'll lose my speed here, and not crash)!
Thank you!!

"Need For Speed"
Well there's your problem. IMO, its a bad racing game, the cars are too fucking drifty. GRID 2 would be on the borderline of whats acceptible. Just forget about what you know and drive like you would in normal life and take physics into account. Y0u wouldnt drive 200KM/h into a 90° turn without braking and expecting to magically drift the thing just by turning the wheels now would you?

XenoLair's comment is true. You have to play DiRT, GRID, Forza and Gran Turismo-kind of games with a realism point of view. Even if you play DiRT in Casual mode, you have to be careful much more than in NFS series.
Yeah, also, start with Casual difficulty mode. Eventually increase the difficulty when you got acquainted with the gameplay. Also, you might want to change deadzone and saturation settings under wheel/control options. Time by time "drive assist" is also deceptive, so you might want to deactivate it as well.

Couple of things guys :
1) Xeno, you cant belive how your comment helped me. There was a NFS race with a 90o turn that I could not make (trying it over an hour). after your comment, I just tried to think what I'd do in normal life. guess what? not only I did not crash in the turn (something that NEVER happend before), I also took the first place easly.
THANK YOU
2) I play dirt on Casual Difficulty pretty easly, but my problem are the assists they give me... I mean - they help me too much... So I started at Intermitade right away... (I can barely take a turn at Dirt3 lol)

Exactly what i mentioned. Sometimes that assist make it worse.
Can't you disable assists completely in game options? Or when you select difficulty, isn't there extra options? I have DiRT 3 but i couldn't like it, so i don't know so much (DiRT 2 was better).

Okay so:
1) In Dirt3, I feel when I just press a little bit the left key on my xbox controller, the car goes really left, so it's too sensitive.. Is that saturation settings?
2) You actually can. Under "Race options" you can go into custome settings, and set up a custome level instead of casual intermitade and such, So you can have level 1 enemies, and take off all the assists too.

Yes, you have to adjust steering saturation and deadzone to eliminate that problem. After a few experiments i'm sure you can find your best setting.

Its dirt 3, slide. Turn sharp into a turn, then once your sliding counter steer to keep yourself moving around the turn. You have to approach it a little different than something like grid. Use the slides you can do in dirt to your advantage.

do you wanna become better at racing or at dirt 3? if you wanna get better at racing play a racing sim. i can recommend race 07 or gtr 2 they are cheap. if you have a good pc and you wanna spend some money then get assetto corsa. there you will learn racing. but you maybe run risk that you wont enjoy arcade titel like nfs or dirt that much anymore.

are you suggesting that Dirt 3 is not a good racing game?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think he's suggesting that Dirt 3 is not a good game by which to learn how to race.
I love the Burnout series, but good lord they won't teach you to drive better. However, they are (IMO, of course) still great racing games.

no the dirt franchise is fun well maybe except showdown. but if you really wanna learn how to race then racing simulation games are the way to go. does not mean arcade racer are shit i sometimes play them and they can be fun.

I've played Need For Speed : Hot Pursiut and Need For Speed: Most Wanted, and I'm nice. not good, but nice.
I'm trying to play Dirt3, but I just cant get the corners. I allways fail hard no metter what I try.
I'm playing with an Xbox360 controller.
I'd love to hear any tips :)
Thanks!
