[@joshcollins5362]

Thank you so much for breaking this down. Finally got around to picking this game up, and I thought I was just brain-dead for not being able to slide the car around. You put it in the simplest, non over-thinking way possible. A few hours in, and I had enough cash for a better car, a better understanding, and no longer a need to rip my wheel from the desk.

[@Drift_with_Lina]

Thanks for the quick tutorial! I actually didn't know we can go thru that barrier to access the parking lot!

Same! Been playing over a year on controller and never knew this

for being a year old, this was waaaaay better than alot of the other videos i watched.

[@HorrorbleGamer]

Absolutely, bro. This is the best tut I've seen so far. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge, much appreciated!

[@907Rome]

2 years old but im glad i found this video. Every tip video ive watched has done a poor explanation on how to learn to drift and why the car is doing what its doing. 10/10 drift tutorial, thank you.

[@cyrusadvincula9770]

This video helped me so much! You explained the steering inputs so well. Thank you sir

[@transient442]

i've been playing assetto for years and i can pretty much do anything in terms of drifting with relative ease, i can even drift irl though i don't do it a whole lot. But drifting in carX just feels so off to me, it feels like drifting on worn tyres, probably the best way i can descibe it. In a real car if you're coming up fast to a corner and you pull the handbrake you slow down quite quickly, on carX it feel like you're skating on ice and the car is just floating no matter how much foot/handbrake you use, even when you're not locking up

[@TheBlue028]

Have you tried it on the newer ture model with the gripper compounds (110 and 120 adhesion) it feels considerably better than it used to when I first played it, I can now comfortable hotap on a drift setup with low power without it feeling like the car just wants to skate through the corners at the slightest throttle input

[@transient442]

@@TheBlue028 Not sure if i've been playing on old or new tire model, ill have to have a look.

[@brodymcafee5737]

Honestly, this is so true. On Assetto drifting was hard, but you can tell what you did wrong so easily. On Carx it feels like you're always driving on ice and have no feedback from the car to know how to correct it and get better

[@MartinMidts]

Dude thanks so damn much. i've been struggling alot with the wheel. i know the theroy behind drifting. and how to initiate etc etc. but never done it on a wheel. after watching your video i figured out what my weaknesses was. and i improved in just minutes after following what you said. you dont know how much this means to me but its alot. i can finally start to drift and have fun drifting with the wheel in games now. To put it simple. i can track race and grip race on touges very well. cus then i apply the feel of the wheel and balance between throttle and brakes, in some what the same manner as drifting, just oposite. Again. this helped me alot and will make practising alot easier!

[@MartinMidts]

Again. thanks so damn much. earlier i couldnt even get one transition down without spinning out and messing everyone up. and rarely even hold a corner. now i can do full runs and it feel so damn nice. i am forever gratefull!

[@TheBlue028]

holy crap!! the horizon thing taught me so much, in my own words, youre saying to let the wheel center a little more when the turning movement stops!

[@vladimir_ckau]

Thanks! As an adopter of the idea "it's not the car, it's the driver" I found this vid highly satisfying. Gotta learn to drift this stock car! :D upd. One hour later - yes, it clicks!!! Far from perfect, but I'm actually drifting this same parking lot you do in this video! Turns out, I was steering too lightly and trying to compensate that with a throttle! Feels unreal! Thanks you for the tip! :D

I'm having such a hard time, I drifted with controller so easily so the concept isn't new, but I get on the wheel and I start to spin out with no saving myself. I tried countersteering, feathering the gas, all that jazz, but I just can't do it. There's something I don't know and it's really frustrating having, dropped money on the g29 and not being able to drift with it

once you learn to drift in assetto corsa the hard way, every other drifting game feels so easy :D good vid mate btw

[@cams_miata]

Good*

[@BeowulfGaming]

@@cams_miata then it has to be the settings and not you, every drifting game.uses simplified techniques of assetto corsa but the principles are the same

[@ksndialndjikne4763]

bro, I find assetto easy compared to carX. I just constantly spin out. Any technique I use

[@BeowulfGaming]

@@ksndialndjikne4763 then it has to be tunes, if you have realistic tunes on both games, AC is definitely more tricky and realistic with physics and suspensions and tyres, if carx is harder than AC then it must be either the tune is weird on carx or their shitty wheel input which in carx is inferior to gamepad.

[@drreisinger4843]

Realy good video!

[@JZX_Nate]

i’ve seen many of these videos and i still can’t drift when assist is on it barely turns the car when it’s off i spin out and when i bring the wheel back to centre it wobbles vigorously without vibration on

what wheelbase you using? I noticed you got it opened up. That for any mods to get more torque or for something else?

Try turning the wheel rotation down so you can make corrections faster, it wont make for smooth drifts but it might help while you learn how to balance the car

Any tips on how to hold a drift. I cant figure out how to stop spinning out no matter what I do because every time I go into a drift it immediately starts spinning out.

[@TheBlue028]

Do you spin out in the direction you start sliding or in the opposite direction (car snaping other way when you try to correct the slide)?

[@imnotsafe671]

@@TheBlue028 it starts to spin out in the opposite direction (sometimes will happen in the direction I’m drifting in). Also when I try correcting the slide

[@TheBlue028]

@@imnotsafe671 ok, so if its going in the opposite direction then its either not enough wheelspin (lifting of the throttle) and/or too much steering input caisomg direction change. I would try find a car with only jist enough power to spin the wheels so you can hold it flat out and not have to worry about controlling the throttle so you an focus on how/what to do with the steering to balance the car. Just try driving in a circle and gently get the car to slide while holding the throttle pinned then get a feel for the steering while the car is sliding. Remembering to feel the force/tension in the wheel just like you would if you where turning the corner without sliding. Tension in the wheel will keep the car rotating, too much and youll over rotate, too little the wheel will feel very light or opposite force and the car will snap the other way.

Slow it down, low power low grip, very low speeds and get a feel for driving the car and how to steer it when you start to oversteer. Start small, drive in a circle, make the car slide a tiny bit catch it and continue in a circle, repeat many times and gradually try to increase how long you hold the car in a small drift

Force feedback is normal, if it is too strong for you you can reduce the ffb scale ( which will also reduce the rotation speed of the wheel) or put a larger diameter wheel rim on your wheel to reduce the physical effort required to turn it
