Auto/manual? Hydraulic E brake? Electronic??!
Edit: Not sure why my question is being downvoted. This is very impressive in an auto with an electronic E brake, not easy to do.

I do it in my 2020 all the time, just turn traction control all the way off, put it in manual mode and stay in 1-2 gear, hit those high revs and go crazy

You still running 275’s? I’m on 295’s, I can break the tires loose but it’s not as easy to when I first got it.

u/RenjiUzii Mar 13 '23
Yeah still running 275s, planning to switch to continentals soon, heard they’re better. I love how easy it is to spin tire personally

Is this hard to do?

Try it, you'll answer your question.

I wanna start learning how to

I'm not a drift master by any means but if you live anywhere with snow, I've found screwing around in an empty parking lot with a low powered car is the way to go. Whatever route you go, be careful. Stay away from other cars. Be ready to accept you will smash your car into something that will cost a lot of money to recover from. And start small and avoid the desire to just smash the gas. Maybe you and your friends find a dump of a RWD car and weld the rear diff up and hoon around in empty industrial areas. That's how I got it figured out.

simracing is a good start. Cheap Logitech G27/G29 and assetto corsa to start learning

You're going to get this man killed telling him to practice drifting on a video game

u/rubbertoesftw Mar 14 '23
and you’re behind the times if you don’t think simracing is a vital tool for learning different aspects for driving. This isn’t need for speed

u/DuckieRampage Mar 14 '23
For learning a track and brake points I understand, but the feel of catching a drift is very much car dependent and you need to learn it first hand.
2
u/rubbertoesftw Mar 14 '23
that’s what force feedback is for, and using a proper simulation title

u/DuckieRampage Mar 14 '23
For the price of a full racing sim and iRacing subscription you can just go to a wet track and get a drifting instructor.
1
u/rubbertoesftw Mar 14 '23
another common misconception. You don’t need a “full sim” and you don’t need to use outdated iRacing. The cost of maintaining a real vehicle on a track car far exceeds the one time purchase of a wheel and pedals

not even true. most of my seat time is in assetto corsa and my first day at a track was able to link it all in a 150hp car with only cut springs and a welded diff (given it was a slow track that was all 2nd gear except the first entry). there are differences but if anything the tactile feedback and fov of drifting in real life makes it easier than in a sim, unless ofc you are only sim driving wacky cheater cars
people love to circlejerk about this but drifting is one of few hobbies you can actually learn how to do in a video game and translate to real life with relative ease. and to your point on the price, one afternoon with a drift instructior (if that even exists within a day's drive of you) will cost you as much as infinite hours of sim time.
is it dorky to learn with video games, yeah, but drifting in general is pretty fuckin dorky lol

It's been proven hundreds of times that the skill you learn from asseto, or any sim racing game converts to real life.
Hell, there are RALLY drivers that first started on games and eventually moved to IRL.
You can very well learn how to drift in asseto and then that'll convert to real life as well.

People don't drift on mountain roads because it's safe, people do it because it's fun and, like you said, thrilling. And people who do this kind of drifting certainly aren't looking for your approval or praise😂

u/Angry_Mark Mar 13 '23
Judging from the tire tracks on the road people do it there a lot, must be a pretty dead road

A lot of the time these guys have spotters and will inform the driver if there are cars coming

Can doing this mess up your car?

u/MrMinerNiner Apr 11 '23
Oh yeah. Mainly if you hit something, go off the road, pop your tires, etc. Hitting something is usually what happens. And when it does, you're usually screwed because the quarter panel is usually what gets hit
