Im still learning and I have no money left after trying to find the perfect drift car. looks like I need to save for a viper. If anyone could shed some light on this or teach me the fundamentals a online session could certainly happen> RogueAssassin4

I myself use a viper and could help you out however keep in mind, the car doesn't make the drifter, the drifter makes the car.
 
one question ... how do i embed the video ??

I think instead of you doing a quick reply, use the post reply button, then you will see the youtube link to it, click on that and copy the url of your video to it. It's that simple. We can't see the video either because many of us don't have a facebook account.
 
That's quality, nice one! 👍

That' to me, is so much more skillful that the Viper video. Firstly, it has less power, and secondly, there is absolutely no use of the handbrake. Yes, it takes skill to manji the straght in two, but it takes a lot more to slow down whilst manji'ing, whilst setting yourself up for the corner.

This goes for setups as well, and seems to be the #1 thing people can't wrap their head around. HEED THESE WORDS. Don't give up on a car just because you can't get it to drift for you.
 
LoL the dude criticized the Viper video but then he uses :

-a V8 car
-a car with more than 500hp


...

By the way you don't even know how much power the Viper guy had in his car so how come anyone can say it has less power!
 
Actually the_kingb_ was criticising the use of manji'ing and the handbrake in his video. And the Viper has a V10.

And it's obvious how much power it has when he can spin the wheels up in 3rd from 15-20mph.
 
The car is overpowered ! you really dont need that much power to have a full lap drift like that , he's using the handbrake more that he is using the throttle :D
Not saying that he is not skilled ... but he's really not "WOW" ;) ... cant wait to post my videos ! (got a slow internet connection)

That seems like criticism to power if you ask me...and my viper has 615 hp and it spins tires off in third gear also, so no it really is not obvious how much power the vehicle has until he kills the ring.
 
exaclty you see the diff in power from the smoke + if you know how to drift you can quickly notice the difference in power ;) ... thanks RufusGonePunk for the support :D
wait to see a video of my brother drifting around the tight Monaco ( cote d'azur ) track ;)
 
edit : my brother drifting an E60 M5 ... and its gonna take a while to upload :S if someone wants the replay folder i can send it ( much smaller i size than a video )

yes i am criticising the power that he has on his viper but not using all of it see his video and keep your eyes on his throttle specially on that ring there you can see he is lifting his foot (and i doubt it is a foot, i think its a thumb) off the throttle and the car is still sideways ( lots of power !!! ) and compare that to my video from the sound of my car on the ring where my foot is full on throttle and i'm fighting the car to keep it sideways because even when my foot is full on throttle it really wants to go in a straight line ;)
 
the_kingb very nice indeed and if you say you didn't use a handbrake at all, that's very very impressive mate. Amazing skills you got there and now you have something to back up your comments which is good. People will see now that you know your stuff! :P
 
GTRL_Junior thanks man :D
I wish I had a good internet speed :S I would have uploaded the entire replay and many others from many views to show you guys exactly what I'm doing and more important I would be able to compete in your Online Drifting events :S
but im gonna try to upload other videos in the upcoming weeks :D
 
what straightaway ... ?

this is a video of my brother drifting around the tight corners of the Cote d'azur with an M5 (No modifications made to car just comfort:Hard Tyres)

you are tripping if you think that 2 manji is harder to do than a single manji into the first hairpin......i can do as much manjis as i want on that straight and it's nothing nearly as hard as a long drift into a corner......

he obviously had no way of linking that long straight together so he was forced to do another manji. from that replay it looks as if he was aiming for a long manji but then he noticed he had no hope of reaching that first turn.

i dont know about you but to me a manji that covers a greater distance is much harder to do than a shorter but more manjis.... i can't speak for this viper dude but for myself i can easily do multiple manjis on that straight and alot easier than a single manji in comparison.

maybe this mustang driver can share his 2cents too and see which style does he think it's harder? hmm.....or will he even be able to link with just a single manji??

oh well just my 2cents:)

Impossible without literally flatspoting your tyres from pulling the handbrake from 50 metres out. That was pretty much the point in the_kingb_'s video anyway, to show that it is possible in a car with less power and without excessive use of the handbrake. In fact, he didn't use the handbrake once throughout the whole video, with takes immense skill.

i am almost sure the only time the viper dude used the handbrake was the first hairpin to carry out that stunning link...i'm sure he could have feinted so many times on that straight but much less difficult to do.

once again i can't speak for this viper dude and too bad it is not your own drift replay......or i'll just simply perform both types or entry and see if you can do both......then it'll determine which one was harder to pull of
 
Well HKSD1 let be honest with you ...
with my car (the Mustang), linking the last corner with the first in a single manji is not possible because it doesnt have enough power , the viper on the other had obviously has the power to link the 2 corners in a single manji without the handbrake
I'm going to get myself a viper and show you how it can be done but just not now cuz i dont have the $$ for it nor for tuning it, that car will cut alot of distance of that straight the second it gets out of the corner just by the use of throttle and in one manji (my car needs full throttle to exit the last corner while his (the viper) only needed little throttle and alot was left for him to use for the straight .... watch his video and see how it bursts into speed the second he lays his foot ( and again i think its a thumb on DS3) on the gas ...

as for which of the 2 techniques is harder ... well doing a full lock to lock manji in a car with that power will need you to spin your wheel very rapidly (alot much faster than it can turn by itself ) while still aiming for the upcoming corner ...
To me the handbrake is a fast tool to correct your mistakes while driving that's why i dont like to use its easy and it hides timing mistakes and even doing a mistake while using a handbrake cannot be easily seen in the replay cuz as i said its a "correcting tool"
on the other hand a mistake while manji'ing can be very obvious and i admit that i did a small mistake on the first corner the car entered the corner with minor drifting angle ...

and againg about the cars , maybe its something wrong with my settings maybe thats how the mustang is ... but my car cannot maintain a wide drifting angle as his by just the use of throttle ... i give it full throttle it and it straightens up but his the more throttle the more angle as i can see from the video ...
 
]^ wait, so... are you trying to say that ebrake longslides is a technique used to correct?

come on, broseph.



you can't drift a straight line without pulling the ebrake. come on now, get with it brother.

and have you tried ebraking like he did in the beginning on that straight? for that long? it's tough stuff. this guy is a beast!
 
let me rephrase ... the previous comment was talking about drifting on that particular circuit and in 700+ hp cars
There are many techniques for Drifting/initiating a drift and it depends on the angle and the speed with which you are entering the corner or want to exit the corner with and on the car that you are using , whether to use H-Brake or manji's both have the same Difficulty ... EASY!!
All these techniques are available to the driver while drifting and combining them together makes your drifting better if you know which one to use in each/which situation
NOW the hard thing to do is to limit yourself to one of the techniques (i.e: for example putting in your mind that you cannot use the handbrake even once throughout the hole lap for a full drift lap) THIS IS WHERE YOUR SKILLS WILL SHOW UP ... THIS WAS THE POINT OF MY VIDEO ...
I figured this out when i got my Driving Force GT i had nothing to use for the handbrake (all buttons turn with the wheel and cannot be used ...) and switching from the controller to the wheel with no H-Brake was not easy ... So i worked on my skills to overcome that problem ... but after a while i figured out a way to use the controller for the H-brake with the wheel ... i'll post a picture of that later ...
and i realised that using the H-Brake just makes everything easier and it gets harder to limit yourself to just the steering wheel ... ;)

I hope this makes everything clear ... (sorry if my english is bad)

NOTE : Look at the angle that the viper guy is making ... its nothing for a viper !! alot more can be done with that car ... after posting my video i realised that the settings for my mustang were wrong and i corrected them after ... i will post a video for my brother on the same track using a supra and making much much bigger angles than me and that viper guy.
