Looking for such films:
Quite an interesting lesson in how to drift
and generally zbiór pozostałych filmów

If you have any leads to such materials, not only video, I'll be grateful

[partyboyu]

anyone?
i realy need more...

I don't have any, but your video is quite cool!
Thanks for sharing, partyboyu!

so you want to be a drifter? well I know from track racing, going from the back of the grid to the front, you can watch all the videos in the world, however the only way to learn everything is to follow other people and learn from them, or go out and do the corner over and over again until you get it mastered,

for example, in drifting (which in karting you wanna avoid but you end up having to learn to deal with) the trick is all about control, if you can learn to control a vehicle with the back end kicking out alot you can learn to drift, the best way (if your a beginner) to learn control is to go out on a wet track (in a kart as its the most basic vehicle to tune your skills) on slick tyres, and throw the kart around a bit, it teaches you control which can help with drifting. Like I can keep a kart going round a corner (drifting of course) on slick tyres on an extreme wet track and the kart wont spin off all down to learning how to control the steering and the kart, all this applies to roadcars aswell, and as i say, learn in a kart how to control the drift, then go to cars,
hope my advice helped

Actually I find the most important part of drifting is not car control, but how to maintain a slide without spinning out.

which is car control, the ability to control the slide, which you learn by going out on slick tyres on a wet track

I was referring ro car control more as in stopping a car from spining out, but I'll bite.

Drifting is best learnt in the dry IMO. Otherwise you'd never properly learn the finer nuances of a controlled breaking of traction.

I think for starting wet is best, then you try what you learned in the wet in the dry, in the wet you have to be more precise and more regulatory on the throttle and steering, in the dry you dont, so starting in the wet then try using the control you have learned (stopping it from spinning out and maintaining the slide) in the dry

[raymondu999]

I can see where you're coming from. Maybe it's just because I started learning to drift in the dry. I don't know. I personally find it quite a bit easier to drift in the wet; because there's not much chance of the rear easily regaining grip, as there is in the dry. (I'm a firm believer in that beginners should first learn to do things the hard way)

I agree completely with what your saying however I think we are on about 2 different things, your thinking the actual holding a drift and creating one.

Im talking about controlling the drift once you are in it, like its much harder to stop the kart from spinning in the wet which is where you can really learn the control as it is harder to control (especially on slick tyres) once you have learnt to control it in the hardest of situations (no grip watsoever) you can then move onto inducing a drift (where your theory comes in) of its very hard to create a drift in the dry, so basically for advice for everyone, first learn how to control a drift once your in it in the wet (which is the most difficult (as it could fall off the track at any moment)) then learn how to start a drift in the dry and using that same knowledge you gained in the wet of stopping it from spinning.

I think we had our wires crossed

[raymondu999]

Holding a drift harder in the wet? I find the inputs I have to put in to "maintain" a slide much harder in the dry - because you're constantly dancing between holding the attitude angle and the thing regaining grip.

I think we are talking of different things. Preventing the car from spinning out is a bit of a nothing to me - I've never had problems doing that. But it's maintaining a long slide that's the thing.

We're finding different parts ofthe process as the one to study first, that's all.

And it gets sexier if you can drift in a straight line

Same, preventing cars from spinning out isn't an issue for me, however for someone new, this may be an issue.

Basically, I'm talking about the control and trying to stop a spin whilst trying to control a slide, as its much harder to stop a spin in the wet than the dry, in the dry its much harder to maintain the lack of grip, and thus the drift as you keep regaining grip. Your talking about one extreme, I'm talking about another extreme.

Learn both and you will be a pro!
