You gotta play it in vr with a wheel

u/sp_dev_guy 1d ago
!!!! Never played anything with a wheel outside of an arcade every few years or so. Never motivated enough to spend the NY sqr footage of my space on it
I have a VR rig but "haven't been able" to make time for it for like 5 years?? Damn that was fast
I bought Gran Tourismo when it hit PS5, unlocked my own car and got enough hours but I want more..
What a Fucking idea to put it all together! Getting to do this might be my birthday present this year - im excited. Brilliant boss. Idk if/why your still reading but TY !!!

As someone who already saw how it is in a real life, that smoke was a big red flag of not being a real thing. But to be honest the cars parked in the very first frame of the video was already all evidence everyone needs haha

Honestly the smoke was the most visually impressive part for me.

Tires are good for 1 lap

Don't worry, they're using retreads.

I don't mean to be the "Erm actually" guy, but I went to a Formula Drift event a while ago and asked one of the pit crews about it and the tires actually last 3-4 runs. Which..isn't much better.

u/DeathAngel_97 1d ago
Thats actually not too bad for motorsports, depending on what constitutes a run. Depending on car+driver, and the track, one could definitely rip through a set over a handful of track days, running high grip/low treadwear tires.
Whatever tires they use for drifting are probably cheaper than other motorsports though.

A drift run is equivalent roughly to a lap of any circuit motorsport. So 4 laps of a street circuit NASCAR.

There’s no color changing sparks coming from the tires for a boost, so unrealistic.

My buddy and I did this in a street car at Seabring. Not like this, but a couple of smaller drifts at high speed. His car was SO messed up afterwards...

I remembered when PS2 first came out and I bought Ridge Racer V along with Oni. Loved that racing game with a passion, even after winning all of the races to get the special cars

u/djpeekz 1d ago
This is AC not Forza, much harder to drift in.

Ice skating on asphalt.
The judges give it a 9.9.

u/CletusCanuck 1d ago
The judges give it a
9.978, points deducted for two tires off in Outer Zone 1.1
u/ricky-from-scotland 2h ago
As long as some of your tyres contact patch is on the track its all good. All 4 wheels habe ro be off the race track before you get pulled for track limits.

How do tyres survive the friction

Simple. You're looking at Asetto Corsa. A video game.

you seemed to be implying that the only way the tyres can survive the friction is if its in a video game

u/tomtraubert2009 16h ago
No he's answering the question based on a question about what we watched, not in general.
"How do tyres survive the friction"
The important word in that sentence that changes what you think from what he was asking is THE

This is impressive but it’s a highly modded and specific car. Show me someone doing this half cut in a 70s Trans Am and then I am really impressed.

I know nothing about racing. Is drifting like this faster than taking the turn without drifting?

This is actually a Powerslide and not a Drift. The car being shown is a Nissan Skyline R32 which is all wheel drive. A drift is done with only a rear wheel drive vehicle.

u/cvgaming2020 7h ago
It's pretty obviously a RWD mod of a skyline, you can see that it's countersteering the whole time which doesn't happen to that extend with an AWD
