GTA 5: How to DRIFT with the NEW Drifting Upgrades - ALL Drift Races with a Controller Camera! (#2)

[@d.m.v_chris]

I genuinely spend hours just drifting in free mode

[@zaki7e]

Same dude

[@AiePro26]

Yeah it's fun af, I've just been playing the adversary mode, getting money for drifting endlessly 😂

[@atr-games]

Same 😅

[@i_smoke_ghosts]

same here 🤘

[@noob_69]

same

[@Adamsocas]

one thing worth keeping in mind for those who weren't sure, the score is based on distance travelled while drifting. nothing to do with angle or speed. when planning out your lines, make sure to use as much of the track as possible ;)

[@StevieWunderKid]

Exactly right, that's why I'm throwing as much angle on transitions as possible to keep my speed controlled and to drift as long as possible.

[@Not_Aran8276]

Wished that wasn’t the case and it’s more dependent to both angles and speed, with just distance eventually there’s like a limit after doing a perfect run with the maximum points with all the possible precision drifts. Still difficult to manage but if you have it on both angle and speed, there would be more possibilities for the perfect score. Not complaining, probably just a little suggestion for Rockstar.

[@saisuntar]

It will be good if these vehicles also have drift tune.. * Vapid Flash GT (tribute Ken Block ) * Banshee 900R * Elgy Retro Custom * Dinka RT3000

[@floki6939]

Wouldn't have said any better. The Banshee would be stunning, the GT would be the ultimate weapon, Elegy because race car, RT 3 because why not

[@sarasheppard8242]

They need to make every car, that has parts labeled "Drift", should be driftable.. I don't even know how many cars have those parts.. like even the infamous Vamos with its crazy bump steer has a drift wing

[@n4v121]

Been burnt out on call of duty, this has been my go to after work. Love finding people to drift with aswell

[@sarasheppard8242]

I've done pretty well myself to get the handle on drift racing, even landing my first Drift Queen (500k points).. I've looked for a few hours now to find videos that could help me improve my driving and so far your videos on the topic are by far the most informative and technical.

[@Goliathus_1986]

@0:51 LIES ! You sir are a OUTFreakingStanding drifter! Imho ofc. MAD respect to you sir and a TON of love for the content you are doing

[@StevieWunderKid]

Hahaha thanks a lot man, much love 💙

[@PossiblyAzrael]

After years of drifting with the stances cars, I haven’t lost a single drifting race since this update. Casually getting 300k-400k points each race. Not sure what the best drift car is- some people like the Tampa. But my success has been with the Remus and Zr350

[@StevieWunderKid]

I've got a video ranking them all, not a huge fan of the Tampa personally, I like the smoother cars like the Remus, Euros, ZR350, and FR36.

[@PossiblyAzrael]

@@StevieWunderKid 🤝 this is the way

[@GamerDaSkater]

@@PossiblyAzrael ZR350 is hands down one of the best 😁 love how quick the turning is when it comes to drifting around the blue poles to get precision drift

[@Cat_With_The_Gat]

I like em all because they're all a lil different but I think I like the Futo the most. To me it feels the lightest/quickest/smoothest

[@Steve_Nice]

how tho?

[@madboss030]

I'm proud you're capitalising on this new update. U of all ppl I trust in drifting. You're not a scam

[@TopSecretR35]

You yeeted that poor guy at the start 😂

[@StevieWunderKid]

Getting flashbacks to the LS Tuners races where people would intentionally take out the starting NPC lmao

[@Scratchpawz]

Ready for the compilations to come from this update 🔥

[@StevieWunderKid]

Will be getting some clips together soon, stay tuned!

[@ntns_media]

Looking unreal dude, on stock power too!! 🔥🔥

[@_mylastname]

Once the upgrade is purchased, can we not upgrade the engine, trans, turbo anymore?

[@StevieWunderKid]

Thank you dude, doing my best!

[@ajincorporated7972]

Love these new drifting races. Bring on Tokyo Drift! Woo!

[@GamerDaSkater]

Everybody before you put the drift kit on . Make sure to buy the engine , turbo and transmission before apply the drift tune . You can drift faster 😋😁

[@StevieWunderKid]

Exactly right, power upgrades before the drift tuning will help a lot. I covered this to a bit more depth in my drift tuning guide!

[@rainblood9507]

Is it too late or can I switch it still?

[@_TrueDesire_]

​@@rainblood9507 yes, reverts back for 50K. Then add engine/transmission mods, then pay 200K again for Drift setup.

[@N93000]

I notice you're camera angle and movement is consistent. I don't do much driving but I think the drift races helps with where to look for angles.

[@GamerDaSkater]

You got to feel the car too

[@user-sd9qu5sj1s]

Nice drifting man. I'm pretty good too and I even found that video helpful.

[@StevieWunderKid]

Thank you man, happy I was able to help!

[@Robertfluff]

The drifting physics are just pulled straight from project homecoming's drift physics

[@StevieWunderKid]

Not at all dude, if anything PH's physics are more realistic and faithful to the car - they at least retain the RWD system and don't make the suspension super spongy. I like them a bit better than Rockstar's gripped-up AWD system that we have now.

[@Robertfluff]

@@StevieWunderKid Yeah, no, I've seen both the drifting. From this and from project homecoming. And they are actually the just the same. You can't spend it any other way. It's just the same. They'd just straight up ripped it from project homecoming without any fucking credit

[@StevieWunderKid]

@@Robertfluff whatever you say man, not here to argue. I've drifted on both PH and with the new drifting physics in vanilla and I see a huge difference, but if you don't, I won't fight you on it.

[@Pharoyar]

Great job. Will be doing some testing soon

[@StevieWunderKid]

Thanks man, have fun with it!

[@abelinkinxvi1735]

The beach race course should be replaced. I skip every time, it’s so bad. Great vid, looking forward to more.

[@StevieWunderKid]

Thank you man! I agree, the beach one's kinda whacky, but I respect Rockstar's attempt haha

[@AndresLopez-vv3yf]

It's drift so cool! God job man😁

[@StevieWunderKid]

Thanks man!

[@StevieWunderKid]

Anytime man, happy to help!

[@biggaup7674]

Bro your a god at drifting

[@StevieWunderKid]

Haha thank you bro!

[@cosmic_plays]

it needs more like power when doing corners adn more grip, bcause it dos slide to the side whenever there is a sharp turnand yes more grip and power and brake controle and some handbrake physics😊

[@EricOnline92]

About to hop on and start up a Invite Friend Lobby just to practice lol haven't really had time to play since the update so got a lot of Practice to do. I need to get up some cash too. Did not realize I spent nearly all of my money last time I played. Eh oh well. Time to Grind and Drift it out. 🎉

[@zaccwalked9544]

My issue is camera movement would be easier if it was locked on car ..havnt played since tuner update ...all but beach drift was fun

[@StevieWunderKid]

The drift camera helps a lot but I'm always slightly adjusting the camera myself via the right stick, mainly to aim it above the car to gauge proximity a bit better.

[@nicmcwhirter]

Can you get the drift upgrade in freemode? Or is it just strictly in races?

[@StevieWunderKid]

Yes, you can drift with the upgrade in freemode too!

[@iOmegaTron]

I love how you say "but that's okay..." whenever you miss something or bump a wall. I need to learn how to accept mistakes like you do and not beat myself up every time. 😂

[@WoodsDaily420]

Yes brother. In drifting, the crash is inevitable. We are driving with the least amount of traction as possible, sideways 😂😂. I personally enjoy seeing the car build up damage over time on free mode

[@L00ner-q9y]

After trying og low grips it’s so mf hard now that I’ve gotten used to this lmao

[@1974GolfGTI]

Should you upgrade your car before putting the upgrade?

[@aggresjve]

yeah only engine, transmission, and turbo i think

[@StevieWunderKid]

Yes - unfortunately I wasn't able to for this video, but they'll definitely help. Feel free to check out my tuning guide if you wanna learn more!

[@1974GolfGTI]

Damn, I've been using stock cars this whole time. Guess I'm about to rip it harder than ever xD

[@1974GolfGTI]

​@@StevieWunderKidI just realised you made a video about it. Welp, "fucc around and find out" they say...

[@NiguelXzechro8398]

Yo you can use throttle control, on ps5 you can feel it a lot better because of adaptive triggers

[@xXlNesTlXx]

After learn to drift with the old way, drift now is pretty easy 🤷🏻

[@naiboyee]

this changed gta, sadly it won't be as difficult as it was before, i love a challenge.

[@StevieWunderKid]

I think you're taking this a bit too seriously lmao, Rockstar didn't change anything about the old methods of drifting, they simply added something new and fun that lessens the skill gap. It's all down to the style of drifting you like doing the most.

[@naiboyee]

@@StevieWunderKid lmao i wasn't being serious or throwing shade at the update, i might've made my comment seem worst than what i actually meant. i understand they lessened the skill gap, that's what i was getting at by saying it wont be as difficult as before. they didn't fumble with the update, just isn't gonna be as surprising seeing somebody drift a remus as it is now.

[@cxnnxrvan]

What's the best car to drift

[@StevieWunderKid]

Check out my video ranking all of the new drift cars!

[@Lukica555]

Guys just so you know apply your performance upgrades before you do the drift upgrade (engine and turbo) apparently it makes a difference and you get more power this way. Rockstar spaghetti code I guess.

[@StevieWunderKid]

It does definitely make a difference, I discuss this to more depth in my tuning guide. Thanks for letting us know here!

[@AKYLE315]

I like drifting on the wood at the pier

[@StevieWunderKid]

Yeah that's a great spot for practice, it's more slippery than a normal road so things are a bit smoother.

[@_mylastname]

If i have a Remus and it has engine, trans, and turbo, do those things get negated when i purchased the drift upgrade?

[@StevieWunderKid]

No, the drift tuning is applied on top. Having everything upgraded before the tuning will make your car faster than it would be if you just applied the tuning!

[@_mylastname]

@@StevieWunderKid thank you. I hope that's true. I messed up then, by upgrading first.. So I guess I'm spending 50k to take it off, to upgrade again after I fix that fk up? Hah.. Thanks! Sick driving dude!

[@Hannsom7]

i havent found any use in the hand brake only regular brake. i have only used the G35 and 350z so maybe this one is diff but in the cars i use i turn back and forth will in slight angle and it makes me speed up a lot. your good at drifting though!! wish you would have done full screen car and just corner controller lol but i seee why you did this but it isnt rocket league you dont need to see every little touch lol its not that demanding lol This should have been a rally chop shop lol R* getting a bit sloppy on the Qc though i hope this isnt future forshadowing! i love there listining a decade later but anywyas good content fam

[@SAM-2772]

I noticed Mange’s at slow speeds win you the most score and abusing that can make the drift races really boring especially after a race it can clear out a lobby because people are spectating you with a 50k+ drift and 5x multiplier I started drift alone in mirror park and textiles both 10 laps each because the hair pin turns have given me problems keep losing my drift points to straightening out even though I’m still drifting Slow mange’s are the key to racking up the most points be the tortoise not the haire I get kicked from drift race lobbies now which is annoying but it’s your fault you taught me how to drift lmfao still need to get better though Also if you do a 300k drift you get DRIFT KING but you need to end your drift before the finish line so the DRIFT KING pops out on your screen

[@SoofiGaming]

Do green zones do ANYTHING besides upping the multiplier quicker? To me they seem just high risk and almost no reward because it's easy to keep a 5x multiplier anyway. I only use them when I've lost my multiplier and want to get it up quickly before the end of the race.

[@StevieWunderKid]

I think you're spot-on there, they will help early on but once your multiplier is maxed out hitting them doesn't matter all that much - sometimes I just do it for the style points lol

[@GottaActCool]

Should I upgrade my car max because im too fast

[@o_o6869]

i remeber the days when underground drift was a think

[@StevieWunderKid]

NFS Underground you mean? That game was awesome!

[@KingBacon45]

When you do get enough to upgrade all them fully, would you do an update video on this?

[@StevieWunderKid]

Probably not to be honest, the basic strategies I used and insights I made wouldn't really change at all. Things would only get slightly easier, but the core tactics won't change.

[@DooobyGames]

Dammm bro you r good

[@StevieWunderKid]

Thank you!

[@whitehuayra]

I wish the ps4 version actually had tire smoke like that. There's almost no smoke while drifting😂

[@StevieWunderKid]

Kinda makes sense that they'd turn down the smoke effects for the older hardware, especially in bigger lobbies when the smoke takes up the whole screen lol

[@AKYLE315]

Also im on pc i heard something about a new drift camera i still have to manually aim the camera when drifting on pc dont have a console anymore so not sure how it works on that

[@ImpeccableWizdom]

5:52 : Drift Tampa is my favorite drift car as of this moment of time. Due to its looks, sounds and feeling of drifting. In which my favorite spot to drift at, is at the Race Track next to the casino. Edit: I am wondering, do you push full throttle on the gas, or should I only push 1/2 of the throttle?

[@Z38_US]

Well the way the cars in GTA drift throttle control can definitely help you in certain situation but since it's so easy to control in most you don't have to use it to get a good drift going, but you can if it's easier for you. I'm on PC and drift with a Keyboard and I step off the gas quite a lot when doing drift races.

[@ImpeccableWizdom]

@@Z38_US thank you for your input. Too bad you play on PC instead of Xbox.

[@Goliathus_1986]

@@Z38_US same here Im drifting "practicing" cuz Im a total n00b at it xD on keyboard and I simply can't even imagine drifting on a controller idk why lol xD

Cant wait until i can install this update on my ps4

[@StevieWunderKid]

Hell yeah man have fun with it!

[@Kaguhs]

If you have a car that you put bulletproof tires on and then take off does stancing by shooting the tires still work?

[@StevieWunderKid]

Yes it does, but that's totally separate from cars with the drift tuning - they can't ever be stanced.

[@Cat_With_The_Gat]

Will they add the drift tune to more vehicles like they did with low grips?

[@StevieWunderKid]

No way to know for sure, I hope so!

[@jeriah4k218]

I wanna see a formula drift build from someone.

[@lord-REDACTED-]

Are you full throttle, or modulating the throttle?

[@StevieWunderKid]

Full throttle most of the time, as seen by my right trigger staying white.

[@mosk11tto]

​@@StevieWunderKidIf you can it would be nice if the controller triggers had the white color filling the trigger from bottom to up depending on how much throttle. Now it's really hard to say if you are modulating or full throttle since no idea what's the difference between let's say 80-100.

[@xxcayde-6xx640]

I only use the futo gtx so Far i just kept winning with 300,000

[@StevieWunderKid]

[@thechicken9590]

how do i start one of these races, i cant find it anywhere just have to hope i get an invite

[@StevieWunderKid]

You have to go into the 'races' section within the jobs menu, then scroll down until you see the ones with the 'Drift' label.

[@xKarma_411]

To bad it’s snow season in gta, it fundamentally changes drifting for the time being

[@Oenumaus]

How can I drift with my camera allows showing the side of my car?

[@StevieWunderKid]

You have to use the right stick to manually pan it around as you're drifting, will take some time to get the muscle memory for that.

[@Oenumaus]

@@StevieWunderKid I'm trying. This is not easy.

[@monsterbubba]

What is that black car in the thumbnail??

The Declasse Drift Tampa!

[@OsamaBinLeanin]

I understand wym when u say manji, but whats it actually mean?

[@StevieWunderKid]

Although the actual definition of 'manji' means something similar to 'awesome' in Japanese, for drifting it basically means a fishtail or controlled drift on a straightaway - it allows you to fully link together the drifts between each turn on a track.

[@edwiniwas]

Why there aint no Remus?

[@StevieWunderKid]

There's only 7 new drift races and 8 new drift cars, so inevitably I had to leave one out of this video.

I don't think I'll ever fully understand it haha, seems super inconsistent.

The scoring on this system is messed up cause you can spin out crazy and they will call it a mega drift and give you 5x time your points lol

[@StevieWunderKid]

Haven't experienced that at all, I find the scoring system to be quite sensitive to both spinouts and when my car loses slightly too much speed.

Nothing really to do to downgrade, just control your throttle more and use left-foot braking.
