Richard Hammond vs The Drift at Ladoux - The Michelin Test Center

[@Einkie]

@@Adnan-jn2nk not really he's a professional and does it in professional tracks the only room for error is spinning off into the grass, however if you're talking about drifting in the city then yeah it's a huge risk. But doing it in a place where you're meant to drift, is a little better.

[@arnoldmuema8914]

[@Mr.iceman83]

Doing this, which is power sliding not drifting in the wet with that car would take no more than 10mins to understand and complete a lap. Actual drifting in the dry with an underpowered car is a totally different story.

[@marshallmxtakeslzz]

I was thinking the same thing about the video. On a dry road you need more skill and the BMW was powerful on a wet track so he was sliding more than using skill to technically 'drift'. (assuming the track was only wet to not leave tire marks, preserve the tires, and/or test tires on a wet road it was in the favor of the drifters. The moment they switched to a normal road it would be a different story)

[@t8polestarcyan22]

Why the fuck does he not know this already?

[@Mathew1985mathew]

roleplay, soap opera, like that he was sick

[@aero5937]

He knew powerslide

[@nicolomanganaro4875]

Because in a clean lap you have to control and minimize the powerslide and oversteer. Drift is a different balance with the same instrument, infact Hammond (and Smith of 5th gear) learn how to drift in a very small ammount of time, compared to a normal driver.

[@johnnysheridan]

You do not remember when the D1 drift team spent the day on the track 'teaching' Hammond how to drift back in the top gear days??!!...he knows full well how to drift, and has reached his limits, I don't know why they do it, but it's all for the camera

[@SomeOne-oi8tp]

King Kong He’s not powersliding, he’s hydroplaning

[@yourerightmybad7363]

Some One nailed it haha

[@Eren-da-Jaeger]

King Kong they are both same thing. A dog is barking and a dog is making noise. a car is said to be drifting when it is in a controlled powerslide, which can be initiated by two things: handbrake or unreasonably high amount of torque with the help of sterring and sudden countersteering. After both initiation methods car basically powerslides, same is in Tokyo drift movie, same is in most Jeremy Clarksons Merc reviews. How do I know this? I went to BMW performance driving class.

Lol poor Hammond he was so tense and looked uncomfortable. You gotta be relaxed and comfortable but firm with the car

[@UniqueCurse2002]

That first part isn’t really drifting as it’s not multiple turns to chain the drift, it’s basically a continuous power slide, the second part is to some extent

[@V12-e8b]

Correct. Everyone uses "drifting" as a catch all for oversteer when it's not the case. Drifting is sliding into a corner, while powersliding is sliding through a corner......without the transitioning, you have no drifting
