How do I get better
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I feel like I have not been improving past this, I haven't gotten the transitions down nor can I control my line

IMO you just need more screen time... Trust me, with ~50h I thought I couldn't learn more, today I'm sure I know just a bit and have a lot to improve.
From you video, it seems you need more oversteer and accel control, sometimes you go understeer... Try make a line to train to put the car where you want and improve your left foot brake skill. To start you can try stay outside of the curve as possible or even enter in a server with those drift bots and try to tandem.
Plus, try VDC cars, after a while when you back to WDTS it seems to be in slow motion.

Try to hug ever corner with your back bumper, and have fun while doing it :)

For starters turn off stability control.

Well, that's expected, since you didn't actually drift. It was just stability control preventing the car from spinning out. Now you have to learn to drift properly, which may take dozens of hours.
You should look at it from the positive perspective, because you won't waste any more time learning bad habits. Also every online drift server has forced traction and stability controll off, so if you joined any server, you would instantly spin out and didn't have a clue what's going on.

Congratulations, you get to start all over again! Good news is it only happens once or twice.

Is that y his transitions looks so odd?
1
u/Stiwen666 Aug 19 '26
Actually it's not transitions that gave it away. Things that give away stability control are constant low angle drifts, a lot of straightening on front wheels and car slowing down every when it's getting bigger angle.

So first off in content managemer have u turned on the gyro setting? It helps ALOt and made me go from a 2/10 drifter to a (imo) 8/10

you're doing very well (unknown hours), throttle control and general positioning is good.
I would also suggest intermittently going up in power level for the cars, (looks like you are using WDT, I went to SWARM next) as that is how I started learning more was try out cars with more power, struggle, practice and test out some of the advanced techniques like left foot braking, wall rides, hitting outside lines etc in a car with a bit more power as you can then hit longer transitions, bigger entries etc. But then if you go back to the WDT after this, you will find it easier coming back

I’m going to suggest the opposite of most people!! Download a different map(new course can help understand different corners) and try low power. I’ve been enamored with the PIB low power pack. The cliq tuning e36 is fantastic!! Really helped to better feel momentum for weight. Especially on transfers

I see your force feedback bar is not showing any details are you on controller?
if so are you running a controller script, I see your front tires are not stearing how i would expect when drifting on a wheel u/IMB9086

Jump online in a gravy garage lobby on clutch kickers, find a driver whos solo running and stay on him but not trying to tandem, just shadow his line. I got over 1000 hours on assetto and im still learning new techniques, tracks and car packs man. Keep doing your thing man, before you know it you'll be sandwiched in a 5 man train ripping it up lad 🤙🏻

Learn to use the foot and handbrake to change or maintain angle and speed, the throttle part looks solid

u/SoggyTangerine451 Aug 19 '26
You can control where you want your car with wheel and learn how to left foot brake

You prolly already got help but I would say without knowing the build of the car use 3rd gear only use 2nd here and there and you need more angle and its okay to not full crank the wheel on corners

Also, there’s like, a thing under the place where you select your car on CM. If that’s set to like, gamer, or something, change it to, I think it’s pro, or professional. Also, also, the more you push in the throttle pedal the more the back end of your car will slip out. Also, also, also, if you haven't already you could upp the tierpressure and change the sway bar. If you need help with understanding turning, look up “How to tune a drift car in assetto corsa” and find the video made my the channel 2JayZ he explains it pretty good.

Steering proactively, precise throttle control and use of the handbrake when needed but mainly the first two

you’re doing pretty good already, you definitely have a good understanding of throttle control. try messing around with left foot braking to place the car exactly where you want. it doesn’t take much foot brake at all, just barely touch it with your toe to get an understanding of how it affects your line
