My 1 Year Sim Drifting Progression!

Its been 1 year since I started sim drifting and I want to talk about my progression and all the things I have learned on this journey! I have learned a ton about the intricacies of chasing while tandem drifting and the skills used to keep close proximity to the lead driver such as left foot brake, clutch slipping, timing, and anticipating what the lead driver is going to do. I've also learned a lot of car placement on the track including wall riding and taps as well as filling zones more completely with higher speed and angle. Its become a huge part of my life for IRL drifting and competition with it now being my main source of preparation for Formula Drift Japan competition. Now I if I can just figure out how to drift better while talking! LOL

Next goal learn to talk while drifting LOL. That’s still a challenge for me and I don’t drift as well when talking, more practice! What videos would you guys enjoy me making on the sim?

[@static-1]

For sure!

[@FaworDrifts]

Matt, beeing ohnest, you have quite a lot of influence on me joining sim drifting :) Your 'live' progress is so convincing! I would have one immportant question: do you think used cameras (POV, 3rd person) are playing big role in therms of gains from sim training? Playing 3rd person I will learn less then POV? Or not necessarily?

[@joshdizzle891]

love the vids!!!!!!

[@dreiback182]

Best Tracks and Cars are the best. Especially Comp Track/Car Videos and Misslile Car Videos. Also some exotic, fun tracks(not like the Hotwheels one more like not so known tracks which are really fun)

[@alicencottew8224]

Lol try to read a script or book while driving. Do a "story time" video drifting telling us about something that has happened to you.

[@Dolmen2]

Dude thats absolutely insane! 1 year already!!? jeez time flies, that feels like a few months ago😳

[@MilitoNun]

Same, it feels like if it was 6 - 8 months

[@logla5137]

True

[@Dolmen2]

@@MilitoNun yup for me it felt like 6 months

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

Aaron's editing has also progressed. You guys work very well together. I've been at it for like 3 or 4 years, and I am not as good as Matt or Aaron.

[@HaugenRacing]

Lol dude knows his stuff!

[@estimateddeatharrival]

@@HaugenRacing Tell him to make his own channel

[@dolnyx3278]

bro I just recently got my z34 and gotten into drifting, but hated wasting tire. so I picked up a basic logitech g29 kit for $249 + a shifter and it's such a game changer man, this video is proof

[@Mousyy]

Been a hell of a year, cant wait to see your progression in Japan!

[@turklinke6159]

Thats one BANGER video if I may say so myself.

[@nyox999]

what a coincidence, was just thinking it would be cool if u made something like this, then u uploaded it

[@HaugenRacing]

Lolol

[@Tyler_J_Cook]

Its insane to watch you grow over this last year and a half or so. One of the more deserving content creators on this platform. The production quality alone is better than people who are in the millions. Keep it up man!

[@Bordz_92]

Literally built an entire badass sim because of you. Been putting in mad hours. Have never drifted irl before but I’ve got my eyes on a few cars right now.

[@etv9520]

Haugen I love u so much I literally have ur merch on my birthday list. every time i get a noti from the channel I smile. Keep up the great content. You have influenced me. I want to get a sim to be in your videos but I cant get one due to the cost. but keep up the great content I love you.

[@HaugenRacing]

Just take it one step at a time man, even if it takes you a while to save up or something, don’t give up on the goal!

[@jdawgzilla]

You and Aaron are legends bro

[@HaugenRacing]

I appreciate it man 🙏

[@anguschalmers982]

Loving the content as always at the moment man! Have just started IRL drifting myself. In your sim vids I see you ‘feather’ the clutch a lot, any chance you could do one of your how to videos on why you do that/ when it’s useful etc. would be great to see.

[@brianankney9186]

By far my favorite drifting content ,super aggressive and stylish driving style and car preferences as well ,as well you such a influence on the way I choose to presume my drifting. Keep up the hard work,ps you deserve more views/like

[@tobylawrence974]

Love you videos and how much you put into each video

[@001AIex]

I sold my Logitech G29 a long time ago and was decent at drifting and since getting another wheel setup recently, I'm having to learn it all over again but I can already see the progression. I'm starting off with WSD 180sx and using first and second to learn throttle/wheel control

[@Mousyy]

Im in the same boat homie, glad to hear you're back at it!

[@001AIex]

@@Mousyy it’s so hard getting the FFB settings right. Can never find the perfect one but I try to not change it too much so I’m not having to relearn each time I change something

[@geomungus4251]

Is that a wild Geo i spot? Riding walls while wearing his New Balances and cargo shorts? hmmmmmm.... Dope video guys, this was so much fun to participate in and watch!

[@williamstru2119]

Loving your channel bro. Keep up the good work. My only complaint is I’m living in a camper while building my house, so I have nowhere to setup my sim. 😢 Thanks for keeping me fired up!!!

[@MWilliams12709]

You have gotten so much better at drifting over this year❤❤ keep up the good work :)

[@larryhaugen4295]

Nice progression here!

[@all4mtb502]

And do y need montiers or can u use a tv and how do u get those car on asserto corza and how do u get the maps on asserto I love the content esp irl and gaming. You push me forward every day!! Thanks!!.

[@xmodegaming1595]

Proud of your progress!!

[@HaugenRacing]

Thank you! 🙏🙏

[@isaiahharris1029]

I'll be honest, I commented before even watching the video lol. On work nights. I do 50 to 60 laps in AC. Non-work nights 100 to 200. ( most of those, me telling myself just one more lap.) I've gotten so much smoother and actually understand how my inputs affect the car. I've also gotten way better about picking up visuals on when the car be off line or if im losing forward bite and I'm just sliding off the the track, and actually being to make appropriate corrections. Like you said, it would take a ton of IRL seat time to get to this point.

[@tobylawrence974]

I love your videos and you just put so much in each video just wait for fd Japan

[@SidewaysEightSix]

My dudes going places! Not like college or anything… But Japan probably. 🤘🏼💕

[@thehammann6670]

I can’t believe it has already been a year, it feels like you just started. Also quick tip for the audio, if you have a rtx gpu you can use nvidia broadcast to record filtered audio so you can get rid of the rig noise.

[@Rhniiaa]

What a progression i can see the improvement!

[@corysdrift5939]

Its been fun following your progression. Im going to be purchasing my first wheel soon. I can do some real crazy stuff with the controller but its going to be interesting to get the wheel in my hand. I'll prolly be terrible but ill have fun either way.

[@wisdomty5516]

love the vids!!!

[@RealExpiredMilk]

Love to see the progress! Lets get some tandems when I catch up, just need to upgrade from this g29 😂

[@gamingwiththepros2057]

[@martint8986]

Matt i both love and hate you, love youre content and what you do, hate the fact youve made my handbrake useless, it cost me alot of money, now i almost never use it, damn you!

[@dreiback182]

Next Upgrade: Motion Sim and one of these speaker on the back for engine feeling. I mean you can turn both of for one type of training and if you want to train for f.e. FDJ you turn it on, right?

[@Matthias..8----------D]

Keep up the grind 💪❤️
