why is the delivery in script/dialogue and the editing and filming done so well that it feels like i’m watching one of those informative science shows or something that you’d watch in class or see on tv lol
Wow, so that's the obvious technique I've been missing out, letting go of the steering wheel... no wonder I've been having a hard time doing basic donut. Thanks for the step-by step guide!
For most cars, they have good self steer built into their steering geometry, so that letting go of the wheel when the car starts to slip works 👌🏻 Stock cars often have pretty poor angle and contact patch at lock in drift, but you can absolutely get started with a bone stock RWD car as long as it has a locking diff (viscous, clutch, quaife/torsen, spool or welded)
My dad has a rwd toyota corolla and the car is as old as your dads prius. I literally felt the pain of the car when i tried drifting and i was succesful aswell but i dont wanna torture the poor car lol
@@Noobipu Haha same, I'm buying a c5 corvette in the next month. Been saving for a year now!! Finally have enough. Love the suburus as well. Both brz and wrxs are great.
Kinda funny, it's illegal to be a good driver with control over your car, but not illegal to be a bad driver and stop the traffic, by riding too slow or letting too many cars pass on crossings.
Nice vid. Not going to try this with my car IRL but I’ve been trying to drift on my sim wheel for months and it just hasn’t clicked yet, maybe this video will be the one.
Your drift tutorial videos are super informative and encouraging! Future vid idea, best budget drift cars for learners in 2023 for the specific purpose of learning, not about style or scene. It'd be great to hear your unfiltered opinion on the topic as a RL drift coach. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it! I did research for a video on best budget beginner chassis last year but never put it together, once I wrap some more driving tutorials I’ll have to do that 👍🏻
Drifting has been the only thing holding me on through this hard time I’m in. Your videos are something special and have allowed me to focus my energy to safely and properly learn these techniques. Thank you so very much!!
Fr and also remember Jesus always got you he’s always there for you if you accept that he died on the cross for us he saved me from stuff like that you should tr reading the gospels
I saw you left foot breaking there! I'd love a video on the use of left foot breaking and e-brakes in drifts. I heard someone saying that left foot breaking pulls you into the apex and e-break pulls you away from it.
I’ve shot footage on those topics from this track session, it’s in my editing queue! In this case, I just did it reflexively but I shouldn’t have needed to-I was frequently looking at my camera mounted on the opposite side of the windshield so my line control wasn’t as good as usual…the sort of thing that happens when you aren’t watching where you’re going as often 🤣
The clip beginning @1:05 is from a surveillance camera at the new boat launch in Antioch, CA. It used to be a park till about like 5(ish) years ago. We already have a boat launch about a mile or so away from this one. I miss the park that used to be there. Lol I drank many a 40oz of OE 800 and that MD 20/20 in that park. There was a horseshoe pit and a cool little secluded bench a few feet back from the walking path that I used to smash bops on... good times😎
I once wanted to show off to a friend that I could do a donut on my vw bug, i had never done it before, but I have a sim at home, so I just clutch kicked and stomped on the gas and it worked, and we got the biggest laugh out of it, idk if could have broken my transmission or something it was a little reckless but it was so worth haha
That’s cool, I’ve never gotten to see anyone get rowdy in iconic VW like that 👌🏻 The transmission parts don’t usually break, but with enough age on the components anything could happen. Usually the tires break traction before the metal parts break 💪
Thank you! I’m working on the edit for my next one now, and have the “on track/in car” footage for about 6 more already shot and waiting in my queue 🤙🏻
Hey dude, hoping you and the fam are all good and all doing well? I've finally got screens!

Your an inspiration to me and no doubt countless others, you lead the way showing me the light and I'm delighted so thank-you. Also, I can finally drift 😂🤫 only took me three years to build a rig and get the knack of it!!

Hope everything is cool my friend, msg me on Discord if I can do anything to help. Peace brother
Congrats on the triples, it adds a lot to immersion and makes a huge difference for drifting (VR is also great for those who prefer it) That definitely adds a lot more workload for the GPU so a system upgrade is well warranted. I’m glad to hear from you, and happy I was able to help even a little in your car and drifting journey! We are doing pretty well here, I’m making videos slowly for now but each one I release is something I’m really proud of as I try to push myself to make the best drift content I can 🫡 Likewise, feel free to hmu on discord if I can help with anything, otherwise post up your new build and rig in #general-chat or share your build video in #share-content in the discord sometime 👋🏻
@@KameTrick your encouragement means a lot, thank-you Ben. My most useful button is my newly install 'restart session' button 😂 As for what you've suggested I will of course do that. Your video editing is just another level these days, it's really good and shows how far you've progressed. Well done mate! All my best 👍🍻
It's a fun time and makes you a better, safer driver in everyday situations as well, study what you can find now and start practicing when you can (safely) - There's all kinds of fun drifting to look forward to in sims and IRL.
hello bro, i really like drifting. I've learn drifting for 4 months, but still have some trouble when learn it. I've watched several drift techniques from pro players, one of them is your channel. The videos shown are very clear and interesting. But I'm still having some problems, is there a way for me to show my drifting video? so that you know what error is happening and how to solve it. I really hope that you are willing to point out every mistake in my drift. 🙏Thankyou
Thanks for watching my videos, I hope they’re helping you along the way in your drift journey! For video reviews, I don’t currently offer 1-on-1 coaching as a service, but if you want to join my discord server you can open access to all the channels after the onboarding steps and then post it to the #ac-drift or #share-content channels for community review. Hope this helps!
Been loving and following the channel for some time now... Good stuff. As far as Virtual Drift....... The Mod Spread Sheet seems to be down...... Any insight on that? Thanks for all you do!
Thank you! I had some stuff come up this winter that delayed the second video in this series but I actually just finished it last night 🎉 It will launch this Friday. For the mod spreadsheet, it looks like a new version was posted. At some point I should make and maintain my own, but for now, try this: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ADM1k17PhjPTgwgRJrn-2Fi5aYwLIrPGKPh9Pb5cupM/htmlview?mibextid=Zxz2cZ I’ll update my link in the discord as well ✌🏻
Speed up, then slow down rapidly approaching a turn. As soon as the wheels skid, start the turn, while simultaneously releasing the main brake and engaging the parking brake. Once the parking break is engaged, you should overcompensate, and go directly towards the right curb if turning right. When this happens, accelerate rapidly, and jerk the wheel to the left if turning right. The car should drift parallel to the curb, facing it.... Just keep maintaining acceleration, and holding the wheel in that direction, until the curve ends, then, straighten out and gun it. Theres other ways to drift. But that's how you'd do a hairpin turn, which is easiest.
If you aren’t skipping the clutch then it shouldn’t do too much harm. A clutch kick to start a drift is no big deal-if that breaks the clutch it was on its way out anyway. But in my car or 350Z’s, most cars you can get to do a donut without a clutch kick at all in which case it does 0 damage 👍🏻
I think the most important thing was forgotten in this video. Can any car do it? What are the car transmission requirements? Front wheel or rear wheel drive for this to happen?
I have a g920 rn and have been thinking about upgrading for a while. If I were to upgrade to a high caliber sim rig it obviously can be around the same price as a real car. Anyway I just wanted an opinion from someone who has much experience in both and which one would be the better option to invest in. Thanks!
Real car vs realistic sim gear? The short answer is sim for starters. If you can afford a sim you can’t afford to drift IRL IMHO. Long answer: Sim is way cheaper than real cars FWIW. Both have an initial investment to get started, but the sim doesn’t cost anything to do countless laps in, where a real car has a few extra issues: 1) it might not have any tuning for the same price as your sim that can simulate highly tuned cars, so irl may not be as fun unless you spend more on tuning 2) event entry fees are $60-120 per day, least here in the US 3) tires are $120-300 per pair and you will go through between 1 (low power) and 4 (high power) per event. 4) your sim gear generally won’t break, except after maybe 5+ years. Many real drift cars break once a year or more, especially if the driver crashes. My real car costs about $350-450 per day to drift after entry fees, gas, tires, food, etc. sim is waaay cheaper. I’d tell anyone to start there.
Just to add my very limited experience, I consider myself as a complete noob SIM drifter (despite taking 2+ years to build my SIM rig) but I'm so grateful of the initial advice to buy a T300 wheel as my starting point, (I am presuming your on PC and not on console). As for drifting IRL, I've never owned a RWD car, but I've own two nicely modified FWD cars in the past. To agree with Ben, I certainly couldn't afford drifting IRL these days. Primarily that's my reasoning for building a SIM rig. I'll be doing a YT video myself in the near future for my own build if your interested?
Realistically drifting is just counter steering an oversteer if you have a rwd and steer hard to a certain direction the wheel will start to heat up and begin to slide you can counter steer by steering to the opposite direction and the parking brake for a more controlled speed and traction
what are the possibles damages for ur car ? for a FWD and a RWD when trying to drift and while drifting ? i would really like your help anyone. I have a 2004 VW golf 5 1.9 tdi 90 hp and it has 400k km
Really nice! Btw, how modified is your steering from stock? Caster and camber angles? I feel like an E36 was not self steering as much as an S13 or M3 that I tried IRL and was wondering if it's purely down to symmetry.
You’ll appreciate this vid: ua-cam.com/video/qLcEo_Ccj-s/v-deo.html That said, the steering on this car has a fair bit of work. Knuckles, FLCA/TC Rod combo for added steering and clearance, front track width increased by somewhere around 1.5 per side, and rack relocated for more angle without overcentering. Its…not stock 😆 In the video above, I drift a stockish E36 and it does fine, though I didn’t adapt to it very well in those couple laps. You can get a lot of benefit from a good alignment that gives you a flat contact patch at around 75% of your cars max angle. At this point I have caster around 7 degrees and camber around -5 degrees but that’s model and tuning specific, cause you can alter the caster and camber curves when you modify the suspension and steering pick up points
@@KameTrick thanks for the reply! And yeah nice video the E46 one. I am not familiar with some of the parts you mentioned, maybe it's an idea to mention in a future video.
If the Focus is FWD, then for drift entries, yes. Sustained drifting lap after lap, no. The RWD & AWD ability to do multiple donuts comes from the rear wheels pushing the car sideways from the back of the car. FWD cars can build up speed and use braking/ebrake to slide into a turn and do a 180 degree donut easily, but that slows *any* car down, and FWD's have no way to add speed while pushing the car sideways, because their power comes form the front tires, which pull the car...and when you pull something it goes in a straight line.
Me watching this shit instead of going to bed early and without knowing how to drive a manual and without having car but still cool to watch (great video tho)
Depends on the horsepower/torque the car has. Miatas for example preferably in first gear, if it's wet and you have tires that are worn out you can also do it on second. Most cars with over 150 horsepower let's say, you will most likely be using second gear.

Realistically drifting is just counter steering an oversteer if you have a rwd and steer hard to a certain direction the wheel will start to heat up and begin to slide you can counter steer by steering to the opposite direction and the parking brake for a more controlled speed and traction
What gear are you in? I would guess 2nd or 3rd, something low but not 1st.
what are the possibles damages for ur car ? for a FWD and a RWD when trying to drift and while drifting ? i would really like your help anyone. I have a 2004 VW golf 5 1.9 tdi 90 hp and it has 400k km
Really nice! Btw, how modified is your steering from stock? Caster and camber angles? I feel like an E36 was not self steering as much as an S13 or M3 that I tried IRL and was wondering if it's purely down to symmetry.
You’ll appreciate this vid: ua-cam.com/video/qLcEo_Ccj-s/v-deo.html
That said, the steering on this car has a fair bit of work. Knuckles, FLCA/TC Rod combo for added steering and clearance, front track width increased by somewhere around 1.5 per side, and rack relocated for more angle without overcentering. Its…not stock 😆
In the video above, I drift a stockish E36 and it does fine, though I didn’t adapt to it very well in those couple laps. You can get a lot of benefit from a good alignment that gives you a flat contact patch at around 75% of your cars max angle. At this point I have caster around 7 degrees and camber around -5 degrees but that’s model and tuning specific, cause you can alter the caster and camber curves when you modify the suspension and steering pick up points
@@KameTrick thanks for the reply! And yeah nice video the E46 one. I am not familiar with some of the parts you mentioned, maybe it's an idea to mention in a future video.
I've successfully manged to merge two cars into one
very nice now I just have to buy a car
What is his car? Looks cool
Like I just got a rear will drive BRZ and I want to learn how to drift it
Can you do this in a ford focus? 🤔
If the Focus is FWD, then for drift entries, yes. Sustained drifting lap after lap, no.
The RWD & AWD ability to do multiple donuts comes from the rear wheels pushing the car sideways from the back of the car.
FWD cars can build up speed and use braking/ebrake to slide into a turn and do a 180 degree donut easily, but that slows *any* car down, and FWD's have no way to add speed while pushing the car sideways, because their power comes form the front tires, which pull the car...and when you pull something it goes in a straight line.
Can this be done on automatic cars ?
Is it necessary to do it on a wet surface?
What gear do you start the drift
Nice
2:29 I forgot the name of that song from Intial D
Should you do this in a front wheel drive car
you can..
but is it smart to try and do it no
i would rather buy a rwd
Would this work on an automatic 4x4?
I hear its best in Manual cars? will auto cars change gear for me and f it up?
Did you use your left foot for clutch and gas?? I saw that.. why no use right foot for gas?
Me watching this shit instead of going to bed early and without knowing how to drive a manual and without having car but still cool to watch (great video tho)
Put on 1st or 2nd gear?
What would be the best gear to do this?
Depends on the horsepower/torque the car has. Miatas for example preferably in first gear, if it's wet and you have tires that are worn out you can also do it on second. Most cars with over 150 horsepower let's say, you will most likely be using second gear.
Wait so you slightly hold the clutch while giving it gas???
