Best Motoring International Vol. 30 - Japan vs. USA Drift Off

[@inuysha360]

The-Ever-Socially-Apathetic TBAL: "American drift cars have big hefty motors with lots of low end torque, because drifting in America is about tire smoke and heavy angle (which requires a lot of low end power), where as drifting in Japan is about grace, chaining (the connection of drifts from apex to apex), and speed."

[@johncarl5505]

Fun fact: A japanese introduced high hp drifting in formula drift.

He didn't even use the paddles on the M5. What a legend!

[@lonelypilot3610]

Drift prince to me is Kazama

[@ThunderousWrath]

This video does an amazing job demonstrating the techniques of the different drivers. Watching Gushi rip the handbrake and Kazama kicking the shit out of the clutch was awesome. It also did a great job portraying the difficulty of drifting in a lower power car like the Miata.

"We are both used to cars that have lot of torque and suspensions so soft" No offence Rhys, I'm a fan but seriously all that power and agility made your drivers skills go low. If you had practiced with average cars and just a little suspension tune up (kinda like this Miata) it would have saved you from hall of shame. That being said I still love your drifts.

[@johncarl5505]

Rhys is a pikes peak legend. Everyone else in this video have less balls and skills than him. Especially the girl, lol.

that's pretty interesting the americans who are used to more bottom end torque were drifting the miata in 2nd, the japanese guy was in 3rd till the long final drift where he slaps it back, most likely that's why it went like it did.

what happened to bubba drift he is one of my favorite american muscle drifters in that el camino

[@solocamo3654]

Advantage is the tires are way more worn after the first runs and secondly, he was heating up the tires quite a bit more before his runs which clearly works in his advantage here.

[@kingpin12345676]

Question for the pro drifters out there lol. What is it called when he keeps his foot on the gas and presses the clutch repeatedly without shifting at 4:45?

[@blackshadow7192]

Clutch kick

[@kingpin12345676]

thanks blackshadow7192

[@Antifaith29]

Sean Gordon Already been answered but yeah, clutch kicking It's actually the opposite of the heel-toe downshifting. When you use the clutch kick drifting technique and “kick the clutch”, the clutch is spinning slower than the flywheel, rather than the other way around as with a downshift. If the clutch connects back to the flywheel it is forced to slow down. When this happens it delivers a shock through the drivetrain that is too sudden for the (driven) tires to cope with. It can lock up the tires momentarily, so that the rear tires lose traction (assuming it’s a RWD). Bacially the same as dropping the clutch for a burnout from a standstill except its done while moving.

[@BrandGSX]

@monkeyboy308 Just happens when talking to Japanese people after a while. They dont understand a lot of auxiliary linking verbs and you leave them out to help them understand and avoid so many questions and repeating yourself.

[@TheRaguORagula]

BMW really should make a real sports car of its own. The E89 Z4 doesn't quite fit the bill but a pure sports car from the E89 would be nice. Shove an S55 or S65 in the E89, make it wider, reduce weight, use suspension, transmission, and LSD from the upcoming M4 GTS (or previous E92 M3 GTS) = awesome car.

[@TheAfghan72]

+TheRaguORagula M3?

He's used powerful american cars with stiff suspension. He had no idea of the handling of the car, that's where the experience of the final japanese racer came in. He pushed the car to get a feel for it in his trial run.

[@echandi101]

[@awakenedsoul2638]

In my opinion the Japanese are really good drifters because they are the inventors of drifting so no surprise there but to give a fair chance to all of them the American team should have also brought a car with them that they are used with. Not to mention that Yasukawa 298 with points driven the MX-5 so good and he admitted that he is used to driving that under powered car. So there should be a round that team U.S.A should have driven their tourqey car and let the Japanese drivers drive it for a fair drifting showdown!

[@Fumxe2]

You have a point but the idea was to see who could control the car with limited driving time. The contest was fair the only reason the Japanese won was because Tsuchiya and Kazama were experienced.

[@awakenedsoul2638]

Fumxe2 Experience is almost everything but its better if they will do my idea. Its like using one cue stick with soft tip. I use yours with soft tip and you are used to it then you use mine with a heavy cue 21 ounce using a medium tip. The cue with soft tip is the MX-5 and the heavy cue using a medium tip is the tourqey american car. This way weather you have a lot of experience or have no experience to either types of cue and tip it will be more fair. Do you get it now? Its not only talking your talk or walking your walk then see in the end who has more experience, it would be more fair if you also test their best american drift cars since you visited United States Of America even if you are the one who made the segment.

[@edwardkay3193]

Handsome FILIPINO A good and experienced driver learns quickly on different cars. Getting good with the same vehicle is practice. Being good with others is skill and finesse. DK did well with the mustang too.
