This is what only ONE MONTH of SIM DRIFTING looks like

[@cassianomorin]

Whats up! As a drifter that has like 1k hours+ on sim drifting. I'm pretty much impressed with how fast you learned. GG's bro!! I will give you some tips to improve frow now on: 1. Use less handbrake 2. Left foot braking is the key to smooth lines and drifts in general. 3. Avoid correcting too much lines nor' catching back the car with your steering wheel. Start handling the car with your pedals a little bit more. 4. Try to initiate drifts with clutch kicks and flicks. It will be a smoother and faster drift. 5. Don't give up! You have the natural talent. :)

[@tannerggs484]

Thanks so much man, that means a lot! I appreciate you taking the time to write all of that out, you're the bomb! I'm gonna write these down to look at while I practice!

[@DiegsurfPlays7]

yea i think sometimes it goes unoticed just how much you can drift without even touching the handbrake at all, just clutch kicking, throttle, and using the cars weight. (totally not because i havent bought a handbrake yet LOL)

[@tannerggs484]

@@DiegsurfPlays7 maybe I should've waited to get mine! 🤣

[@Warranty_Droid]

lol yeah the handbrake is a GREAT tool, but it is by far not even needed for drifting at all.

[@luqmannhaqeem]

You were surprisingly good when you first started, at least you were able to hold a drift up until the exit. I wasn't as good as you were as a beginner. And you progressed quite a a lot within a month! Try to use less handbrake, because as much as it is fun and an easy way to initiate a slide, it will become a crutch and develop into a bad habit over time. Save it for corrections/emergencies. Imagine transitioning between corners except you do it consistently everywhere on the track. This will help you to setup your entry in a way that reduces the need for the handbrake. And if you come from a long straight, try flicking the car or kicking the clutch. Utilize your left foot for braking during initiations/transitions to shift the weight on the rear end of the car. With your left foot on the brake and your right on the throttle, you will be able to "steer" the car without the steering wheel, leading to a much smoother transition. There are so much more tips and tricks to drifting but the most crucial thing is to know what to practice. Practicing without knowing what to practice on will emphasize your mistakes and burn it into your muscle memory. Good luck and have fun, you're off to a strong start!

[@tannerggs484]

Thanks so much man, these tips are great! I appreciate you taking the time to type them all out!

[@acslider807]

wow the progress from just 1 month is realy impressive

[@tannerggs484]

Thanks dude! I probably put a little over 40-50 hours into the past month.

[@mrgrinchsmokes117]

this video has inspired me to try playing tarkov for a month and see how it goes, i know its not drifting but its what ive been wanting to get good at for a long time now and i just kept putting it off.

[@tannerggs484]

Dude Tarkov is amazing, I have almost 500 hours in that game haha. It's far more frustrating than drifting 😂

[@thatdorkbell]

im so glad i found this channel this honestly helped my mindset on drifting lol

[@CubanMontana83]

Thats some nice sliding. I have been drifting for about 2 months with my g27 and im thinking of getting fanatec csl dd, since i feel the wheel is holding me back. Glad you have a good wheel to start with!

[@tannerggs484]

It definitely makes a huge difference. I tried my brother's g923, and the fundamentals transfer, but the experience is better all around on my fanatec. I'd recommend the boost kit for the full 8nm if you can!

[@CubanMontana83]

@@tannerggs484 Thanks for the info! Fanatec it is then!

[@excite.winters]

Just buy a moza hbp handbrake instead of the fanatec one if you go that route, as someone who went a full fanatec simrig, that's probably the only downside I've had 😂 their handbrake suuuucks. Also buy the pedals and the load cell brake upgrade and you can use the standard brake as your clutch, the sponge in it gives it a bit of push back which feels nice on the clutch.

[@jbtnproductions7245]

great evolution friend, to refine it even more, try to refine the countersteer, your line will improve a lot if you manage to treat the steering wheel more smoothly, control the accelerator more and have good runs

[@tannerggs484]

Thanks for the advice! I've been watching some other drifters and it's crazy how little they adjust the wheel while they're sliding haha. Thanks for commenting!

[@excite.winters]

Awesome progress! Now that youre getting more comfortable with your rig, I highly recommend picking up a VR headset. Having actual 3D depth perception and the ability to look around gives you a much better sense of where the car is and how close you are to walls. It will also make tandems a lot easier. Its also just an unmatched experience. Its gotten to the point where I struggle to drift on my monitors now 😂

[@tannerggs484]

I actually have a Quest 3 hooked up! Just made a video about it, and you're 100 percent correct. It's incredible.

didnt expect you to ony have 123 subs with that quality and multiple camera angles, im subscribing now

Hell of a video man. Badass drifts, you've gained a sub and a like.

Thats a great progression for a month! Earned a sub 👊

[@tannerggs484]

Thanks! I appreciate that dude!

[@Fenseone]

I always wondered why would u need to see him spinning the wheel on screen, if you already are on the wheel? I think adjusting the cam a bit closer, less fov, and no hands ( but having the camera that moves the head) can make it so much more immersive

[@tannerggs484]

Appreciate the feedback! It's just a recording of my POV, that's the way I like to drive on my TV is all. That's why I included multiple angles. There's definitely a lot of different ways for me to experiment with Assetto Corsa though! Thanks again! 😁

[@nobeam]

Great content man 👍🏻 keep the videos coming! cheers from Norway

[@tannerggs484]

Thanks a bunch! Appreciate the support!

[@WillReil]

Great video Tanner. Really surprised by the quality from such a small channel. Keep going with it because you definitely have the potential to go far on this platform. Loved the different camera angles when you were drifting! Only recommendation would be maybe fading in and out of the music to better fir the dialog vs drifting scenes. Great work!

[@tannerggs484]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the recommendation, I'll definitely start implementing that! 😁

[@Seitan1st]

insane drifting man! inspirational ! i literally just bought a wheel, assetto corsa, and a quest 3 to get into sim racing lol. any tips/what would you do to practice?

[@tannerggs484]

Make it fun! If it's not fun, it's not worth it in my opinion. It got really frustrating, and still can be, so it's good to take breaks. Seat time is so important. The more you drive, the more your muscle memory learns how the car reacts to throttle/steering/braking. Ctoretto has a great series to get started as well, and it helped me with throttle control a lot (I still need to work on this a ton). I've gotten a couple great comments with advice on this video as well, if you want to look at those!

Appreciate that man! I actually went to film school, and have been doing music videos for about 6 or 7 years so I'm pretty familiar with cameras/editing.

I’m in the same spot as u. Only 1 month and can alr do a decent amount. Still need to get a handbrake and hshifter. How many nm of force are u sing between the fanatec software and ac? I’ve been running 100 on fanatec then between 60-80 on ac

[@tannerggs484]

Pretty much the same, so 8nm from the CSL DD. Also, I've found that every car is different in AC, so I run 100 in my settings, but turn it down to 60-70 on the cars individually

I absolutely hate videos like this. Ive been practicing for 8 YEARS!!! And ive made zero improvements. ive watched well over 50 different "how to drift" videos and nothing has helped me. I can half ass drift in a real car but im having obvious major issues in sims. No info has helped me figure out what im doing wrong. uugh. so frustrated. When im practicing im on track for hours at a time so i know im getting plenty of seat time.
