Little drift tutorial

Normally it is due to relatively high entrance speed. Enter the corner in normal(relatively low) speed. Engine RPM might be around 4k. Keeping the steering angle, give a full throttle only with accelerator during cornering. This is not the only way buy maybe the easiest way to make oversteer.

 

I have question for those who think they cannot drift in AC. How do they manage to let's say with an E92 M3 or 458 on streettyres, to get fast laptimes @ any track in pro mode anyway?

If I take a 458 on streetyres in pro mode(the only mode I use) out for a spin/hotlap, there almost always is some small oversteer/sliding involved. I'm not talking about showboating, but just purposeful making use of the back sliding a bit in a bend/trailbraking whatever.

I did a 1:59 something lap with a F40 S3 @ Mugello. And the car was sliding a lot.

Who said? If everything is under control you're not going fast enough.

In short: I countersteer a lot lol.



Edit: For instance you take the L49 @ Silverstone which is a wide track. The car initially understeers but with power on you can make beautyful slides AND keeping an eye on the pointing of the frontwheels as well. Also steer /look where you WANT to go, not where you're heading(rule one also in real life drifting) So just don't keep on looking at the lamppost/tree you're heading for, but steer where you want to go

The problem with drifting is there's no real easy way to learn, you can only throw your self into it and hope you come out the other side alive. If you find you are always doing really sudden and quick movements to react to the car you still have a bit of learning to do. You won't ever be able to drift properly if you are not able to predict what will happen, reacting will just get you frustrated and make you very tired. To me this is the most important thing and the only way to learn is practice.

One small tip that may not be obvious to a beginner is when you leave off the throttle in a drift you usually have to steer in to keep the car from straightening.

 

What an an awesome video!!! I'm gonna try this out. Any advice on G25/27 settings and car settings?
Appreciate the awesome effort!
