Question of the day: *What game would you recommend for a beginner Sim Drifter?* 0:24 - I meant put less tire pressure in the *REAR* , not front.

[@dannyboi10-lo5vb]

CarX, it's really easy and fun to play, but if you really want to learn how to drift good, probably assetto

[@mezzyboi]

Assetto Corsa

[@swazzekxd]

roblox💀

[@FemtoTheFox]

Edit: Assetto Corsa, as it punishes the mistakes more than games like carX where drifting is fairly chill. Read the comment wrong. Not a g29 lol. At minimum t300, I have a g29 and I can't drift at all because the car does not counter-steer. Always spins out with oversteer on transitions.

[@burkielol]

as a very good sim drifter i can say that all those tips and tricks will 100% make you a better drifter! :D

[@ivoryflats7303]

I would add, don't rely too much on your e-brake. I got into a habit of using it and it takes a long time to un-learn that reaction of grabbing the handbrake. Just use your gas pedal, steer with the rear.

[@thesprawl2361]

@@ivoryflats7303 I use left foot braking instead. Left foot braking is so useful for touge drifting, and for tandems. And on touges you just learn to brake into a corner in such a way that the rear swivels out automatically, so there's no need for the handbrake at all. On a touge like Tsukuba, a full run up and down the mountain, I only use handbrake twice, and that's a run that takes aboiut six minutes and has a turn around every five to ten seconds.

[@thesprawl2361]

As someone who's been sim-drifting for the last three years solidly, I've watched a lot of these kinds of videos, and mostly they're pretty uninformative. But this is by far the best video I've seen on this subject, because it recognises that one of the most important things when you're starting out in sim drifting is just...keeping going. It's so easy to be put off by the lack of progress you're making, and by how often you're banging into walls and oversteering - and there's no use in starting out in Assetto in cockpit view in a VDC car(VDC cars are about the most realistic, snappy competition cars out there) with 1080 degrees of steering, if you just try and fail for a few weeks and then give up because it's a miserable experience that's asking too much of yourself. So many douchebros will tell you it's worthless to start in anything other than cockpit and with 1080 steering; but they're just showing off. No-one starts out from the ground floor like that. Everyone makes some concessions so that drifting is actually fun at the beginning. So what this video does really well is it gives you permission to go easy on yourself, at least at first, so that you can be tougher on yourself later. Don't just start out like a masochist, thinking that learning to drift in chase or with 540 degrees angle is 'cheating' and therefore worthless. Start out with whatever setup makes drifting _feel good._ Because if you're not enjoying it you're not going to continue and get better. Not that you should expect to have fun all the time when you're learning - but a crucial thing to remember is that you are _always_ improving. Even when it feels like you're not, remember that the mistakes are things your muscles will remember, and will help adjust your muscle memory in the future. It's basically impossible to get _worse_ at the muscle memory skills of drifting. You can learn some bad lessons maybe...but the actual skill of drifting? Just by doing it you will be improving every single second you spend sideways. Really good video, I'd like to do a video like this myself.

[@Goosiest]

Ultimately practice is the key

[@thesprawl2361]

@@Goosiest Agreed. No substitute.

[@rzt430]

i agree but to be fair drifting in chase doesn't really help you drift any other way. like, sure if you just wanted to drift in a game in chase all day then there's no problem with that. but if you really really want to learn how to drift and have transferrable skills to real life, then you gotta start with the cockpit, cus otherwise the moment you switch over to cockpit from chase you lose all sense of orientation and have no idea where to look or where the wheels are even pointed. looking towards where you wanna drift is kind of a core aspect when learning how to do it, ignoring the instinct of looking forward. especially if you are learning drifting after driving in real life, it feels like having to rewire your brain at first. a lot of practice is about building the muscle memory but switching the cam kinda fucks with that a lot. the opposite is fine though, playing around with chase AFTER learning to drift in cockpit.

[@thesprawl2361]

@@rzt430 I disagree. I've logged about 1600 hours and I can switch to cockpit without that many problems. Once you have the muscle memory for drifting(doesn't matter which view it is) you can switch to the other in a pretty short period of time; all your brain is doing in that period of time is translating certain relationships in a kind of symmetrical way. So once you know how to reverse entry in chase, all your brain needs to do to learn it in cockpit is perform a kind of spatial transformation on the normal 3rd person way it thinks about drifting, and instead shift all the previoous muscle memory into a first person perspective. But the reason it doesn't take long is because it can shift them all in one go, because the car is symmetrical in first person and third person; which is to say the controls are identical regardless of the view, so once your brain understand which parts of the interior view map to the chase view it's good to go. All of that makes sense in my head, don't worry.

[@_payso_]

This video is really good , pretty good advices goose well done

[@EdgyAndreas]

This is a helpful one to me. Appreciate it mate

[@D0G_CN]

i agree with most of this, good advice. only thing i got different is the degree of rotation witch i have set to 220 degrees. i use the same degrees of rotation for everything, unless i go f1 racing then i double that... i learned drifting in real life (i held a rally license for 10 years) and it took me 2 days to learn.

[@thesprawl2361]

220 degrees?? That's not even a full turn of the wheel... I think everyone should set the degree of rotation to whatever they feel comfortable with, but 220 degrees seems way too low even for a beginner. I think I had it at least 360-450 when starting out on Assetto.

[@invisibleman197]

Thank you. Now I'll save it and watch it when needed 🙏. Love watching videos of my fav yutuber (yep it's u Goose) and HE GIVING ADVICE = BONUS POINTS FOR HIM!

[@Bextra242]

one more tip is watching out for bad habits. When i started sim drifting with a wheel and pedals i developed a lot of bad habits, like i always kept my left foot hovering over the clutch, just in case i need to clutch kick. But now when i started driving in real life cuz i just got my license, it's very hard to get rid of the bad habits. So just watch out for every habit you have and ask yourself if it's beneficial or it's gonna throw you off when you'll need to releard basic driving skills

[@djLalix]

Holding your foot over the clutch is a normal thing when driving a manual car, I very rarely have my foot anywhere else when driving. I understand where you're coming from, but this example is not exactly a bad habit.

[@LeorixSP]

@@djLalix it makes suffer the gearbox if your foot is on top of the pedal. Just as resting your hand on the gear shift. It's a bad habit, in the left of the pedal there's space for yor foot and both hands should be on the wheel.

[@Deezorz]

@@djLalix you're actually wearing your clutch and taking out a little free space that your pedal is supposed to have. Always put your foot next to the pedal, not on it. Man if I held my foot on the pedal during my driving lessons 10 years ago my instructor would legit hit me physically.

[@derjager3797]

i literally just got my sim wheel and was gonna look up a tutorial by you so i can get started what a coincidence

[@MrWildmore]

@Goosiest I have been watching your videos for a while and I really like them, but this particular one helped me a lot, I have g29 and it is really hard to handle however your hand and wheel tip made a great difference for me, I ve been using wheel for 6 months but this was a big step for me. I still have problems on transitions but thank you man...

[@Goosiest]

Glad it helped!

[@krisdavy7]

My favorite thing when I was learning to drive with a wheel in general was to throw the car around wildly and try to recover 😂 Id end up doing something amazing by accident and then spend hours trying to recreate it. Felt like I learned by tomfoolery 😅

[@geokri_1083]

[@86music40]

[@pukusti]

I started watching goosiest about 2 years ago. Now i have g27 with a shifter and a piranha seat. And i can drift a full track without oversteering. Thanks Goosiest for the inspiration to drifting.

[@pukusti]

Sorry for my english skills😅

[@FemtoTheFox]

Does your g27 not have the problem that the g29 has, in that it doesn't counter-steer quick enough? Because with the g29 since it has such low force, when you transition and you let go of the wheel, the car oversteers because it doesn't go fast enough.

[@pukusti]

Yes it has but i raised the ffb from 100% to 140% from the logitech software so it counter-steers faster. It's better but not perfect

[@FemtoTheFox]

@@pukusti Yea. I did the same thing, only problem is at least with the g29 it makes the wheel incredibly stiff, making it impossible to turn the car more than like 10 degrees manually while in a drift

[@pukusti]

@@FemtoTheFox I have a 300mm (11.8 inch) wheel so it's not that stiff

[@isaiahharris1029]

Tando buddies and the default AC drift E30 BMW are great beginner cars. Because its more about going through the motions and understanding what it means to steer with you pedals. Also, i 100 percent play music when I drift on AC. But it's usually chill instrumentals and i can still hear the car over it. But it helps me relax lol. One thing to keep in mind is knowing, just because you crash or spin out, doesn't mean you don't know what you're doing.

[@sombrero4316]

I have a few hundred hours just in drift servers in assetto and I'm still learning, although I'll be the first to admit I've gotten pretty good. Your first at least a few hours should be spent in the Kunos E30 drift car, setting it up is important, go for the lowest grip tires(street 90s) at lowest pressure they allow, front pressure can be a few units higher. Rear camber -0.5 and toe 0. Do single player and the Kunos Drift map and find the smaller track that has a spot for donuts. You don't have any reason to leave that spot until you can reliably do 2nd gear donuts both ways, you can start with 1st gear and work your way up, try out left foot braking to control the donut but don't turn it into a burnout. Then try to transition from the donut to another corner and drift the small track, all 2nd gear. Only after that you are ready to kick it into 3rd and drift the big track. The next step after that should be finding a server with the same car and track and seeing how other people drift it. Run just lead lines until you naturally find someone on track you can follow. "Practicing tandems" doesn't exist for you yet, learning your lead line will create the following line. I was quite experienced when I realized that when I started to spin out I could get away with WAY less throttle in the same situations, especially in turbo cars that go crazy in higher rpms. Also get used to drifting with 3 pedals, it seems more difficult if the game forgives and auto clutches but in the long run clutching will make your drifting way more natural and fluid.

[@RIDDIMBOIBOI]

my confidence in drifting dropped when i heard u say that gravy isnt realistic, i aint gon stop practicing tho

[@Dengar97]

A little tip for those with no dedicated shifter would be to see if your wheelbase has any stationary buttons, and bind the down- and upshift commands to them. Like on the Thrustmaster T300RSGT, I have an L3 and R3 button behind and to the right of the wheel on the base itself. Not as good as a proper H-shifter, but better than fiddling with the constantly spinning paddle shifters (which can hurt a lot if you misjudge your reach and get smacked) or the wheel buttons.

Goosiest is right , I started learn drifting on my new logitech g29 at forza horizon 4, I start trying to use 720 degrees rotation, and try to not oversteering as well, I suggest formula drift car in Forza 4, that's good for a beginner drifter. After I using 720 degrees rotation is stable, I tried to upgrade to 900 degrees rotation and continue learning drifting, after a month I finally can drift completely and perfectly. (I watched a lot of goosiest, ctorreto and gtoofast video before, so I have a bit of knowledge on the drifting work.).
