Critique:

Good video. I don't know how long you have drifted, but that was a pretty good lap. Overall, you had a good rhythm with your car. It's good to have that or else the car will look choppy and the drifts will looks really weird. lol, I didn't expect to hear a slow song for a drift lap probably because this is the first time it's happened :P thumbs up for creativity 👍 On the second hairpin, eventhough your thumb slipped off, you could continue to drift it even in the middle.As long as you drift the car, then try to recover as fast as you can. Also, I think you can pull off some more angles on your drift, especially when CudaMan's S13 had extreme angles. To make the drifts look smoother, try to not jerk the analog stick too much because then the steering will look chopped and not realistic. It's hard, but it looks really good in replays. On that last hairpin, the really tight left-hander, try to grab more angle on the two turns before so that you don't have to pull the e-brake to get the angle. All these things take time and practice. You have the stuff, but make sure that it doesn't go to waste :)

If I were to grade this as if it were an entry in the GTPDC, here is the score:

Angle - 8 points
Style - 8.5 points
Control - 8.5 points
Smoke - 3.5 points

Good job on the video overall 👍 I can't wait to see more from you unkn0wn

-Thio
 
With this kind of skill you can definitely feint the s turns before the tunnel ;)

But then Bustwave will say - hey you e-braked the first curve, boo
 
overall ... hmmm nice drift ... :D but if better if u drift it at the third corners at midfeild ... not bad for beginner & s13 cars is the good choise...;) :cool: :mischievous: :D :embarrassed: :)
 
I think bustwave. will give you the best advice on how to drift the S13 because this car isn't my specialty, ... yet :)

Keep working on those drifts. Try drifting on another course rather than Midfield because I don't think this car is suited for such a wide course. Probably Tokyo or Laguna Seca.
 
i'll give u a 10 for the music! that's very original of you to put that.
as far as the drifting.....good job.

Musiq Soulchild - Settle For My Love (can't go wrong with this song)
 
It looks pretty good for a new drifter:tup:
I think you just need to work on a more aggresive drift angle, and just making the drifts look a little smoother. Nice choice of car (Initial D). What is your settup like with that car? Tires, HP?
All in all a good first vid, keep it up and you will only get better.;)

my Silvia S13 1800cc has 243HP, i wanted to w0rk on a lower Horsepower car. and hey, its fun, a little harder to connect drifts though. cuz usually drift cars over 300 horses.
ill do a run right now and post a new video of a higher horsepower vehicle.

running on straight sims. (i prefer nothin else)

and this isnt my first video, i had another one posted like 1 month ago of my trueno s.s gt apex ae86.

That's cool, I have an S13 with 270 horses that owns. :D
Keep up the practice.👍
 
well the only fact that i seem to progress very slowly is cuz i stop doriing for like 1 month then i start again. but whenever i restart doriing i improve a little. :)
 
i agree, try letting the car drift a little bit earlier before the turn. also, try to add more angle to your slide cause in some turns it looks like your barely doing anything. good corner speed improvement from your first video. next thing is to worry about carrying the right line, but who cares, your just doing exhibition :)

I could not have said it better myself. :D
 
Good vid. Idk i like the music, but if your guna play slow music, make the video slow motion. You want to keep a theme throughout the video. Nice..spet for e-brake...:odd:

i think it goes together well... :rolleyes:
 
*the words I will say is constructive critisim, not a big ego* it was a good video, but since you are using sims, I think a skilled sim drifter should be able to drift around most of the track at a big angle and lots of smoke. I use racing slicks, but I have used sims before, ask BustWave;) . I use a Silvia as well, but it has 270HP and mediums all around. it is really responsive and I have no problem holding a drift with it. but since you said you were an amatuer, it was very good, just keep practicing man.👍
