I always learned that power slide was exclusive to AWD cars. The "power slide" you described but in a RWD is what I know as a Power Over Drift. Keiichi Tsuchiya(the original drift king) has a video from the 90s where he explains all the different kinds of drifts, styles and techniques.

@tktxlegend4540 Considering techniques like the scandinavian flick started being named in the 60s, it's important to remember that there's different types of drifting which evolved in different places.
I don't have a handbrake or a clutch on my sim rig and use the throttle to initiate drifts. This is way before the apex as well. This whole drift vs power slide with these definitions are confusing as hell. Not one person has ever told me I'm power sliding not drifting. I feel like they kind of over lap. Is a power slide not a drift?
I always explained as drifting is starting the slide before or at turn in and maintained through the corner exit, where as a powerslide is initiated after turn in.

explation for dummies: drifting is making the rear of a car loose grip and countersteer to make a curve and powersliding is maki the car's tires stretch to reach max grip, and there is only countersteer while exiting the corner for control
To put it my way: Drift: Flinging the car sideways be it handbrake, clutch kick or swerve Powerslide: Sending the car sideways by flooring the gas pedal in low gear
@@kiwi9065 Basically what makes you a competent drifter is being able to switch from one technique to another depending of what type of corner you're trying to take, the speed of entry and the angle of attack and be able to adapt to place and rotate your car without losing control of it, so yes, you want to know these 3 techniques.
Power slide is a drift that you cannot extend. If you are in a “drift” and cannot extend/hold the drift and no matter what. Then you have just done a power slide. Power slides don’t have to start after the apex everytime. If you for example initiate before the apex and swing past it, catching full traction after the apex and continuing the corner. That is also a power slide. You can argue that it is not a textbook definition and it isn’t an ideal power slide. But let’s be real, it’s still a power slide.
Yeah I used to be a rally racer which we do do both tho even doughnuts and spins but In races mostly drifts and power slide but In gymconma which is a a freestyle thing which not on a road you race on you smash things, doughnuts around poles and spins in a marked area that they placed drifts plus it's all wheel drive trust me but some have fwd red but mostly awd
Well kind of. It's a balance between being sideways while maintaining speed IMO. That's why drifting is so cool, like you can do a tandem run on a small track trying to touch your ass to every curb but you can also do a touge run and drive more on the racing line to drift as fast as possible. Both are equally valid and cool imo.
Putting power down and sliding out is a "power OVER drift". Drifting is the rear tires steeping out and driving the car through the corner with the front wheels countersteered to guide the car. A powerslide is a controlled 4 wheel skid.
I did not know the different between the 2 and when I was first learning I would always powerslide into a drift as I found it easier than using the handbrake
ive always thought drifting was using an e-brake or swerving the wheel a bit to lose rear traction as youre going into a corner and then swinging the dead weight of the vehicle around the corner, where power sliding is using the cars natural power to break traction. that makes the most sense to me, personally.. ive always thought drifting is like what you can do in a fwd with a hand brake. where power sliding is most commonly something rwd's can do.
To me a drift is when the car is sideways with the rear wheels spinning, a power slide is going sideways with the rear wheels locked. It’s as simple as that
Sawa comment on a Swedish video. He claimed Swedes can't drift, they only powerslide. He was watching the best drifting you'll ever see on a public road and thought it was powersliding cuz "Only drift cars can drift"
A power slide is a drift. But not all drifting is power sliding. Drifting has nothing to do with when or where you initiate. It simply has to do with intentionally breaking traction to angle the car sideways.
So you're telling me i am actually drifting in the rain in my 63hp fwd suzuki by pulling the handbrake before the turn and letting jeesus take the wheel for a sec?
So you’re saying… that fwd cars can’t powerslide since throttle straightens them out, therefore they are actually drifting when traction is lost on corners

best explanation of a “dift”
Lol, that's how I understand what drift and power slide is
Drift=countersteer
Power slide = no countersteer
You can powerslide and have to correct your angle with countersteering, so it’s not really a great example.

both are fun, but nothing feels better then gliding at an angle around a corner perfectly in sync with the road
For a race you want to execute powerslides. You exit out of corners easily without losing any speed. Which is the entire point of a powerslide.
The 86 hooking the drain was a nice touch 😉
I always explained as drifting is starting the slide before or at turn in and maintained through the corner exit, where as a powerslide is initiated after turn in.
A power slide is just an attempt to keep the car under control during oversteers.

You can initiate a power slide before the apex tho it just comes to control, not practical at all but theoretically possible

Gotta use the e brake or clutch kick (if youre on manual transmission just press the clutch to bring the Rs up then dump it)
I always assumed it was a squares and rectangles kind of thing.
A powerslide is a kind of drifting, but not all drifts are powerslides.
a DRIFT happens PRIOR to the apex of a corner.
Me powersliding before the apex then get send in the wall by the force feedback after the apex

Drifting has nothing to do with when or where you initiate. It simply has to do with intentionally breaking traction to angle the car sideways.
