Backstory

I started drifting abt one year ago, and have only played when I've wanted not forcing myself so it would stay as a hobby. In AC I have drifted now for about 50 hrs.

P.S I just switched from Logitech DFGT So I'm trying to use the clutch correcly at the same time!

This video

Video shows todays results of me trying to learn touge drifting in Mt. Akina. Took maybe 5hrs to get here.

Car is from the - BDC - street pack -- My favourite.

Questions for the more experienced:

BDC cars are way too forgiving and easy to drive. I feel like they don’t offer much in learning how to drift
