Can Initial D shoes help you drift?

Can the shoes used in an anime actually make me drift better? Probably not, but let's find out anyway.

"I'm better at drifting irl than I'm in the sim" big F.L.E.X

[@kelvinarreola]

its kinda tricky in the sim lol

[@FG-418]

To be fair, Sim Racing and drifting takes a bit of adaptation to driving style. In the sim many of your usual inputs are not there, no vibrations, butt dyno, lateral Gs and yaw. So you have to drive by the steering feel and visual cues only. You also don't have depth perception / speed sensation on the screen, for that VR is a game changer, but you still have less feel than IRL to drive the thing.

[@kelvinarreola]

@@FG-418 it took me a good month to actually adapt to the sim .After that I feel like it’s just as good as real seat time , especially for tandem

[@XxPsykosXS]

@@FG-418 I feel that actually practicing on the sim make you a better drifter irl also because you learn to use different cues and feelings that you might not use that much irl and then when you jump back in the real car your brain take all these parameters into consideration while driving.

[@FG-418]

@@XxPsykosXS Oh yeah totally agree, both sim seat time and IRL seat time makes me a better driver. My point was that it's pretty normal for someone who has a lot of track experience and almost no sim time to be better IRL. Also I can try and practice things in the sim I wouldn't dare to try first IRL from fear of crashing the car.

[@inaNis_]

Seeing things like you kicking the clutch mid drift to increase the rpm or (I think) double clutching an upshift at 3:13 give me an increased apreciation for your skill and make it easier to learn what to do when I'm drifting. Please make this a more regular occurence, I really really enjoyed this!

[@Szeiker]

He's not double clutching, just a gear miss.

The pedal cam adds so much more insight how fast and rough you handle the pedals and makes the "physics" of drifting pretty understandable, even though I never did it before

I totally agree with your critique on the shoes making them non-ideal for driving, and it's not just the heel part but also the flared sides of the outsole that make them prone to catching the side of pedals.

I've got an old pair of Etnies Scout, which I only use for driving. They have a super soft & thin sole for insane feel. They are incredibly comfortable & kinda hug the heel so that you don't damage the floor mat & have a larger area for your heel to touch the ground. I love them
