5 Huge Tips For Sim Drifters!

Today we're going over 5 huge tips for sim drifters. I will be letting you know what kind of sim drifting equipment to choose from. Some of my past sim-drifting mistakes and how to practice drifting. On PC you have better options for Sim-Drifting, for example you can use a cheaper eBay handbrake. PC games also support mods so you can make your drifting feel a bit better, but it's possible to be a sim-drifter on consoles as well. If you want to know what are the best drift games for sim-drifting then I have a separate video on that below.

G29 or Logitech? Your choice

[@tonygamer83nomaxnocap70]

I have a g29 with shifter and pedals. I was just drifting around and it all of a sudden just clicked for me. I'm able to connect a few corners together without hitting the wall. A big tip I would would give new Sim drifters leaning is throttle control. It's a lot harder with out it

[@Goosiest]

Very nice!

[@hdyt_TV]

@@Goosiest yes

[@rikokenz]

Fellow G29 enjoyer here, is it just me that can drift easier with car pack like WDTS, ADC than using the base drift car on AC or everyone with G29 experienced this thing too?

[@tonygamer83nomaxnocap70]

@@rikokenz I don't have ac yet been thinking about getting it. I usually drift around in fh5 and beamng

[@rikokenz]

@@tonygamer83nomaxnocap70 ah i see. I'm struggling on early days using the base car from AC because the force feedback not spinning fast enough to countersteer the drift. I thought that because of the gear drive that G29 used. But after I downloaded the ADC car pack I can drift easily. Idk why. Maybe because of the tuning of the car Anyway, let me know when you decided to try AC maybe we can do some tandem. Cheers 🥂

[@vicecarbon7562]

Thank you Goose. This video helps me so much, you wouldn't believe it. I started about 4 months ago with a second hand G29. I hadn't gone too far until I saw this video. Now that I have a clearer idea, I'm going to follow all those steps and become a better sim drifter. Wish me luck and I might send some clips in the future! Good luck to you newbies too... Go for it and drift!

[@Goosiest]

Right on!

[@dreiback182]

One of my two biggest advices Goose has covered, which was patience. The one, which is very very important espacially when your learning is to try and not use the handbrake. You should have a handbrake but try to not use it! Do clutchkicks, flicks and so on but try to stay away from the handbrake and only use it when chasing somebody or to get out of a bad situation. You can also use it if you want to do a very long entry, but try to not over use it. And the same is for left foot braking. Dont overuse it, but you can use it more than the hamdbrake.

[@ElmodankacanMercho]

I can agree the tip number 6 made me a pro drifter, I suddenly started throwing reverse entries, 360s and I even started to do tandem in actually *NO TIME*

[@tjm_tk]

tip #2 is very true, i drifted on controller for a while and got good enough to link tracks and do 360 entries and stuff like that on carx and forza but when i first got my wheel setup on assetto corsa it was a lot more challenging but also more fun. even when you have a little bit of experience it can still take a while to learn new tracks, ones like narrow touge's especially take a lot of practice for me. also i agree with other people who say you should focus on learning without the handbrake first. I didn't have one my first few weeks and i learned to link my first few tracks without it, it helps you learn to use the throttle and clutch and then mix the handbrake in when it actually helps. one other thing i think if you get a g29 it's good, but in my experience sometimes the force feedback isn't quite as strong as you would like so just letting go of the steering wheel and then catching it doesn't give you enough counter steer. it helps if you kind of throw it yourself and then let go so it's rotates faster.

[@L3AF]

i have a thrustmaster T500RS and a next level racing next up is only to get a hand break, been drifting abt half a year now huge difference from when i started out. Keep motivated guys and thanks to goosiest for a great video yet again!

Setup for asseto corsa drift?

[@kyoro3414]

I've been using WDTS car packs since I bought AC last year and at that time I only have budget wheels and didn't get a feeling of FFB. This year, using the same car pack and got a G920 from my friend, I feel that I've progress a little. Every now and then, I always practice and hone my drifting skills even when I'm working full time. I hope for the best of luck for those that started drifting

[@panostheo8411]

Loving the videos Goose 🤘🏻 your videos have got me through some really dark times in my life recently and your uploads always keep my going, Thank you Bro 🙏🏻 much love man ❤️

[@RaidenWarbound]

Thank you brother!! Really appreciate it!! Started with a G29. That first tip is what I need to do now.

[@Egi_4658]

1:50 G29 was selled at 400$ for just a year, from 2016 there's so many way to get it around 200$ or even 180$. So there's a very big price difference between t300rs and G29.

[@adaddylicious1748]

I got a new g29 for €165 off of a Facebook electronics market page, the cheapest t300 I found was €280 used.

[@deresolute1061]

Yup and most t300rs on my local marketplaces are selling for $200+ with the shitty base two pedal setup and no shifter lol. G920s are a dime a dozen for around $150 with 3 pedals and shifter. Definitely a great starter option.

[@Egi_4658]

@@deresolute1061 true! That's the reason why I bought the g29, I had just 200€ and I went for it because there's a great base with 3 pedals and H shifter with 35€. Thrustmaster t300 have a great motor but nothing else, so you must buy the 3 pedals and H shifter (is better but you need 170€ to purchase it). So total of g29 with 3 pedals and H shifter? 235€ Total for t300 with 3 pedals and H shifter? Around 470€

[@stancedtelevision301]

@@adaddylicious1748 I picked up an older t300 for £100 and a 458 tx for 50, so it is possible to get a t300 for cheap but it's just a matter of waiting

[@TMHyt]

Have been drifting on my t300 for 5 days now, as you said, suddenly I got good. Man it feels great! After 2 days I started letting wheel slide. After that it got a lot better. My last video is a clip of today

[@Goosiest]

Great to hear!

[@7noob655]

Been drifting on my g29 for 5 years now. I've made lots of progess, my dad has been teaching me how to do foot work steering and he knows what he teaching me because hes a real drifter and I've never recorded my first day. You guys dont have to record u can just keep learning it's up to u u dont have to record and if u drift in real life and u drift on sim the sim might help u a little with ur real life drifting. I love sim drift❤

[@helpumuch6887]

Just started, found a few tutorials and they really helped. It’s very hard at first but you will make progress. Start in a big flat open area, project touge was an assetto corsa mod that has a huge skid pad but find one and do donuts until you’re comfortable then start doing figure 8’s until you’re ready to hit a track. Also watch goosiest and haugen racing videos, instant stat boost

[@Morse-]

I remember when i was struggling at drifting, but now when im experienced at drifting and know what to do, it feel sooo good. U inspired me to drift, thank you Goosiest

[@Goosiest]

Keep it up

[@mariboustate4707]

A money saving and efficiency tip; Use a flight joystick as a handbrake. I use a Thrustmaster T.16000m I bought for Elite Dangerous, works perfectly

[@ChodyRay]

Practice throttle control early on, as well as learning when to let the wheel do its thing until it needs corrected throughout the drift, if you have force feedback. And another huge tip is use your ebrake, but don't rely on your e brake

[@benjaminacostarossi7009]

Thanks to u i buy my first steering wheel 2 years ago, i learn from your videos, Ctoretto and other youtubers, rlly your are like a teacher to me in the sim-drifting, Thanks for all man

[@Goosiest]

Happy to help!

[@cheukyinho2971]

This is the perfect time for this vid considering I just started sim drifting .Thx for the tips btw

[@armourshooter5517]

I would also like to add a tip regarding the mods: Try out different mods, the harder mod to drift the more you learn. For example, after you mastered the WDT pack try out VDC or switch between street cars & comp cars. The different characteristics of each mod will make you realise the imperfections in your technique you otherwise won't realise if you stick with the same mod & will eventually make you a more precise driver.

[@Alicebleh]

I had no idea the tando buddies cars were bad to use :( I made all my progress using those cars. I saw Slaptrain use them so I figured they would be good.

[@scribtz2241]

don't worry it probably won't take too long to relearn

[@Alicebleh]

@@scribtz2241 I hope so! I downloaded the WDTS pack now, lets see how that goes!

[@zwenkwiel816]

I started on them too and when I switched to WDTS cars it was a bit frustrating at first but now I never really drive anything else. in fact tandobuddies are really kind of boring once you get the hang of some better cars

[@N3gativeChill]

@@scribtz2241 It's not bad, Tando Buddies was one of my first car packs, going from that to VDC public is challenging but so rewarding

[@zcypher6558]

Tando buddies is not that bad actually..it's good for a beginner to get the hang of drifting and muscle memory. Very big thanks to the modder who create that pack, i can drift any other pack now 👍🏻

@@Goosiest thanks bro your my icon

[@oloid51]

as someone who just now has like 70 ingame hours on assetto corsa all drifting, I don't believe you should get a hand brake off the bat. Learning throttle control, clutch kick and different feints is much better to develop. Although I'm not quite there yet lol. And definitely don't cheap out on the wheel etc I was thinking about it and decided to buy a logitech wheel instead of some other cheap thing I saw on amazon and am so glad I did.

[@mrmalavey1098]

As someone with 7+ years drifting assetto I'd disagree, having one isn't the problem, using it to much is ✌️

[@FemtoTheFox]

@@mrmalavey1098 Yes but he's saying that withoit a handbrake, you can't use it as a crutch so your only option is to use foot brake. If you have the handbrake you might develop bad habits with it.

[@NeilGR]

i've had my wheel since december 3rd ish, and I've been drifting since. I've improved A LOT and im drifting through various tracks on assetto corsa with ease. however, it's hard to perfect tandems and touges because clutch kicking isn't always reliable when I need to adjust. I've been thinking about a handbrake lately, should I pull the trigger?

[@connor883]

Logitech is cheap

[@Jac0pCZIT]

Thank you. I learned so much. 6th tip helps the most😊

[@shuukisan]

Thank you i learned a lot of things about sim-drifting u have my respect

[@hyperlovesyou]

tip 1 slamming the disc break stops car steering (wheels need to turn) tip 2 lows gears increase power (IE drifting occurs when back wheels try to overtake the front ones) high gears increase traction. so shift down to send your car into a spin, shift up to recover or stop the drift tip 3 if you you get your gear and speed right before the turn then just turning early will give a good drift for most corners tip 4, breaking hard (normal break) will throw the weight of your car to the front so be sure to accelerate into a corner to throw your back end out tip 5, drifting is often entirely unnecessary and a great way to get bopped off the track so check your surroundings even those stripy things on the ground will ruin your day if you go over them.

[@ashmitmukane8011]

7:31 yess guys this is the ultimate truth listen to this guy its 💯% true!!!

[@zwenkwiel816]

IMO You should just start at 900 degrees, it feels a lot more complicated at first but I think it's kind of like with the tandobuddies cars. best to just learn it the right way straight away. also while 900 degrees may feel a bit harder it is a lot better as it allows for a lot more smooth/fine inputs. like with 540 degrees it's easier to go from lock to lock but the "balancing point" (for lack of a better word) is also a lot smaller.

[@musha2752]

I have a Thrustmaster TX-SW Racer Sparco with a TM Handbrake/SQ Shifter and a OEM steering wheel and the feeling is just amazing, when I started playing I just could not connect drifts and the wheel was extremely sensitive, as soon as I increased the angle it really helped. Thanks.

[@grahamb6293]

did you buy just the base and customize the rest? or did you buy the bundle and swap the wheel? Im asking because i want to keep the pedals with the base.

[@realcnstudios]

I'm totally new to sim racing but are used to real driving for a couple of years now. It's a passion. Stronger than any other in my life. I bought AC and used an old Logitech wheel with maybe 20 bucks. Only two paddles and no force feedback of course. For racing only it was enough but when I tried drifting I was frustrated pretty quick. There was just no way to control the car so I snapped, took my last money and bought a T300RS GT. I watched some videos for Tipps and tried several hours. On the second day I was already able to manage some stable and decent drifts on the Japanese drift map. Since I have no handbrake I only initiate the drift with the clutch but for now it's okay. I even went online and drifted with some other dudes and managed to keep up most of the times. I am really proud of myself :)

I can drift in real life easily. I say all of that because you make me look like an 8 year old that has never seen a steering wheel in their life. I have top of the line equipment and years of real life experience. It just goes to show that practice makes perfect. You don't need to spend a fortune. You just need to do it and be determined.
