I once wanted to show off to a friend that I could do a donut on my vw bug, i had never done it before, but I have a sim at home, so I just clutch kicked and stomped on the gas and it worked, and we got the biggest laugh out of it, idk if could have broken my transmission or something it was a little reckless but it was so worth haha

[@LZYDOG]

Nice haha, God I did this shit a couple time on a roundabout in my 2002 Suzuki grand vitara lmao. This was before the new sim setup I've just gotten and honestly surprised I managed to not kill myself and use the right ish technique. Cause using the high HP cars in assetto I suck at drifting lol. Gonna keep practicing then try find a nice big carpark to practice with my Suzuki again when it's been raining. My car really doesn't look like much but it seems to have a great balance of weight for getting into a drift.

[@ChariolesX]

Wow, so that's the obvious technique I've been missing out, letting go of the steering wheel... no wonder I've been having a hard time doing basic donut. Thanks for the step-by step guide!

[@KameTrick]

For most cars, they have good self steer built into their steering geometry, so that letting go of the wheel when the car starts to slip works 👌🏻 Stock cars often have pretty poor angle and contact patch at lock in drift, but you can absolutely get started with a bone stock RWD car as long as it has a locking diff (viscous, clutch, quaife/torsen, spool or welded)

Lovely dude.

[@TheRobMozza]

Hey dude, hoping you and the fam are all good and all doing well? I've finally got screens! (Only 23" widescreen triples, but better than square 17" triples) and as such my 1060 3gb wasn't really that effective trying to process a third more screen(s) in addition to trying recording my footage without stutter.. thankfully the 3gb 1060 has been replaced by a budget friendly 8gb 1070.. today I added the final piece* to my SIM rig (8 key USB mini keyboard for customisation/return to pits button) and I just wanted to say a big thank-you to you Ben. Your an inspiration to me and no doubt countless others, you lead the way showing me the light and I'm delighted so thank-you. Also, I can finally drift 😂🤫 only took me three years to build a rig and get the knack of it!! However, now my V3 SKT 1150 Xeon is starting to feel the strain, so motherboard, CPU and RAM will be the next big upgrade.. definately never ending however my whole build is coming in at slightly under €1000 so it's pretty fking reasonable!! I'm in the process of editing my build video (don't worry, it's very amateur so you've no need to be worried 😂😂) anyway.. I just wanted to check in with you. Hope everything is cool my friend, msg me on Discord if I can do anything to help. Peace brother

[@KameTrick]

Congrats on the triples, it adds a lot to immersion and makes a huge difference for drifting (VR is also great for those who prefer it) That definitely adds a lot more workload for the GPU so a system upgrade is well warranted. I’m glad to hear from you, and happy I was able to help even a little in your car and drifting journey! We are doing pretty well here, I’m making videos slowly for now but each one I release is something I’m really proud of as I try to push myself to make the best drift content I can 🫡 Likewise, feel free to hmu on discord if I can help with anything, otherwise post up your new build and rig in #general-chat or share your build video in #share-content in the discord sometime 👋🏻

I saw you left foot breaking there! I'd love a video on the use of left foot breaking and e-brakes in drifts. I heard someone saying that left foot breaking pulls you into the apex and e-break pulls you away from it.

I’ve shot footage on those topics from this track session, it’s in my editing queue! In this case, I just did it reflexively but I shouldn’t have needed to-I was frequently looking at my camera mounted on the opposite side of the windshield so my line control wasn’t as good as usual…the sort of thing that happens when you aren’t watching where you’re going as often 🤣

[@user-sx3ku8fr4l]

How about doing this on automatic cars? Can this be applied too?

[@andresherrera3649]

Really nice! Btw, how modified is your steering from stock? Caster and camber angles? I feel like an E36 was not self steering as much as an S13 or M3 that I tried IRL and was wondering if it's purely down to symmetry.

[@KameTrick]

You’ll appreciate this vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p33GdqKVeMidY9U That said, the steering on this car has a fair bit of work. Knuckles, FLCA/TC Rod combo for added steering and clearance, front track width increased by somewhere around 1.5 per side, and rack relocated for more angle without overcentering. Its…not stock 😆 In the video above, I drift a stockish E36 and it does fine, though I didn’t adapt to it very well in those couple laps. You can get a lot of benefit from a good alignment that gives you a flat contact patch at around 75% of your cars max angle. At this point I have caster around 7 degrees and camber around -5 degrees but that’s model and tuning specific, cause you can alter the caster and camber curves when you modify the suspension and steering pick up points

What is the red car at 0:59?

[@ViktorVaughn_.]

I have a g920 rn and have been thinking about upgrading for a while. If I were to upgrade to a high caliber sim rig it obviously can be around the same price as a real car. Anyway I just wanted an opinion from someone who has much experience in both and which one would be the better option to invest in. Thanks!

[@KameTrick]

Real car vs realistic sim gear? The short answer is sim for starters. If you can afford a sim you can’t afford to drift IRL IMHO. Long answer: Sim is way cheaper than real cars FWIW. Both have an initial investment to get started, but the sim doesn’t cost anything to do countless laps in, where a real car has a few extra issues: 1) it might not have any tuning for the same price as your sim that can simulate highly tuned cars, so irl may not be as fun unless you spend more on tuning 2) event entry fees are $60-120 per day, least here in the US 3) tires are $120-300 per pair and you will go through between 1 (low power) and 4 (high power) per event. 4) your sim gear generally won’t break, except after maybe 5+ years. Many real drift cars break once a year or more, especially if the driver crashes. My real car costs about $350-450 per day to drift after entry fees, gas, tires, food, etc. sim is waaay cheaper. I’d tell anyone to start there.

[@TheRobMozza]

Just to add my very limited experience, I consider myself as a complete noob SIM drifter (despite taking 2+ years to build my SIM rig) but I'm so grateful of the initial advice to buy a T300 wheel as my starting point, (I am presuming your on PC and not on console). As for drifting IRL, I've never owned a RWD car, but I've own two nicely modified FWD cars in the past. To agree with Ben, I certainly couldn't afford drifting IRL these days. Primarily that's my reasoning for building a SIM rig. I'll be doing a YT video myself in the near future for my own build if your interested?

MIATAAAAA

[@shilohstorms3796]

Sorry, is the throttle the clutch? Can automatic's drift without a clutch?

[@KameTrick]

Throttle is the pedal that makes the car go, brake is the one that makes it stop. Automatics have both of those pedals. The clutch is the pedal that can temporarily disconnect the engine from the wheels, that’s what let’s the car change gears. Automatic cars don’t have a clutch and can change gears…automatically, while manual cars the driver has to do that. You can drift a rear while drive automatic car, assuming it has a welded diff or LSD, though you will be lacking the option to clutch kick the car or keep it in a specific gear sometimes. It’s not as ideal as using a manual car, but certainly doable

[@coomlord5360]

Can you do this in a ford focus? 🤔

[@KameTrick]

If the Focus is FWD, then for drift entries, yes. Sustained drifting lap after lap, no. The RWD & AWD ability to do multiple donuts comes from the rear wheels pushing the car sideways from the back of the car. FWD cars can build up speed and use braking/ebrake to slide into a turn and do a 180 degree donut easily, but that slows *any* car down, and FWD's have no way to add speed while pushing the car sideways, because their power comes form the front tires, which pull the car...and when you pull something it goes in a straight line.

[@jminkvihubyb]

question, does this kill a clutch? I feel like I could smell my clutch for some reason

[@KameTrick]

If you aren’t skipping the clutch then it shouldn’t do too much harm. A clutch kick to start a drift is no big deal-if that breaks the clutch it was on its way out anyway. But in my car or 350Z’s, most cars you can get to do a donut without a clutch kick at all in which case it does 0 damage 👍🏻

That’s cool, I’ve never gotten to see anyone get rowdy in iconic VW like that 👌🏻 The transmission parts don’t usually break, but with enough age on the components anything could happen. Usually the tires break traction before the metal parts break 💪
