Tsrb: step back on the throttle Subtitles: F R O N T

Every kid with a FWD sedan rn 🔑🏃

I used to do this in my mom's Ford focus when I was like 16. I stopped doing it when I couldn't get the handbrake down one time and violently spun out.

you probably need to have the link of your "Powersliding vs Drifting: What's The Difference?" video ready, because some kid is probably going to get triggered by this :D

me, about to send my clapped out Fiat Punto sideways into a well: seems legit.

*hand brake snap* FWD driver : man I'm dead 💀

If you are on dirt, you can do it with just a flick. If you give yourself enough angle you can floor it and fight the tendency to straighten out and get acceleration while still turning

Generally it's faster for FWD to just stick cleanly to the racing line. Only in really tight corners (sharper then shown in the video) it will save time. This is also true on dirt.

fwd snow drifting is so fun

Lift off oversteer enters thr chat

Initial D knowledge goes hard

I just like how fwd cars snap back after drift so u can get on the throttle quicker

Dayum, I was not paying attention and thought it was a real life video, until I realised how weirdly stable the camera was and how the environment looked. The graphics in sims really became good!

I don't even play any car game besides BeamNG, but I just gotta give you props for the jungle tunes you put in your shorts

It's more like dragging the back of the car not really a drift

Rear tires gonna have hella flat spots from handbrake popping 😂😂😂😂

Legit thought this was BeamNG 💀

I loved drifting my civic hatch it felt like a over size go cart with 300hp lmao especially where I live we like to drag and rally race bc we have a lot of dirt and gravel roads so much fun

FWD not only handles traction and acceleration on only the front tires, but they have a 60% (or more) brake bias, meaning there's even more friction.

Saudi drivers : HOLD MY SHEMAGH .

Instructions unclear: ended up in a bush.

I completed 50% of fast and Furious Tokyo drift game when i was still too young to know i used FF cars all the time

I drive a FWD that I like to slide around corners with on winding roads. What I noticed helps a lot though is a stronger suspension and dropping the front ride height about half an inch below the rear. Keeps the car's center of gravity fixed to the front rather than the middle of the car which in turn makes the rear easier to bring out on a slide.

Lift off oversteer is faster and smoother, also requires less attention being diverted from the road ahead while driving. Sliding fwd cars around in real life like this can be incredibly difficult without entering some corners way too fast, slow speed corners can be really hard to get the back to step out even when locked up by the handbrake, simply because the wheels at the rear do their job and act as anchors in a straight line rather than breaking lateral traction without enough momentum.

I genuinely thought this was real life until the first person view showed up and then had to rewatch it l

you can also turn the opposite way to put the load on one side and then turn quickly in the direction you need to turn, I found this to be more useful in some situations.

Also lift-throttle oversteer is effective if your suspension is setup well too

I grew up with paddock cars, fwd, AWD, and rwd. Downhill drift in fwd is pretty fun, (especially on gravel) the downhill momentum makes it easier to maintain speed. We were linking corners lock to lock

In a covet, most of the time you can tap the brakes and the rear will kick out. That car can be a blast to drive surprisingly.

I found this out by accident. Now I love drifting in this manner.

Instructions unclear. Car is now rolled over.

Personally i use weight transfer to do same thing

You also need to disengage your foot from the throttle irl so that the weight of the car will be moved to the front. The correct sequence most of the times is: Disengage throttle, steer into the corner, pull the handbrake. It requires a bit of practice, but still is a pretty easy maneuver to make.

This is like a Gran Turismo license training video tbh not being rude but it reminds me of it

I fine line between knowing the momentum to carry the ass end out and around the corner to completely hitting the wall sideways😂

I used to be a pizza delivery driver and one of the work cars was a FWD Getz and I used to drift that thing so much in the rain.

In a well setup car tipping the breaks in a corner will also let the backend step out ☺

You can also use a lift off over steer method which is more used for a higher speed

As a Honda driver I could confirm this is how it works

Oh god for anyone attempting this, make sure you ‘blip’ the e break. You need to disengage it almost as soon as you activate it

Simple rule, just drive fast enough and don't die, and make sure you have a 1/1.5 way lsd with familiar initial torque setting(harder springs or more clutch packs) and ramped up ramp angle for delayed lock. If you still manage to make it out unscathed after that, congrats. You manage to "drift" your fwd tripod machine.

The obvious difference between FWD and RWD drifting technique is that in RWD, drifting is initiated with throttle and turn while handbrake prevents drifting, in FWD it's vice versa - you yank the handbrake to initiate the drift while exit on the throttle.

I be yanking my handbrake and goin round corners at 30 mph, only in the rain tho lol

Full gas lift and flick the wheel. Lift off over steer is useful for new cars without a physical hand brake

I did this going 60 on the road. Right when the road curved I pulled the e brake up and spun out into the grass almost going into a decent sized pond 🥲✊

I've had a few people tell me you can't drift a fwd only to show them lift off oversteer.

pov me contemplating if i should risk sending my civic straight into a wall just to have fun: 👁️👄👁️

So many Americans are surprised by these videos

Just use left foot braking if you are having a hard time hitting your marks.

If you set the car up on the nose properly (as all fwd should) you can also perform a braking drift as the rears will lock up very easily and allow you to pitch it in sideways

Drifting like shingo, maximum cool vibration.

FWD drifting doesn't exi--

I always like when my tires have a nice bump to them.

I was just hinking about FWD techniqes the other day! noice

Believe it or not there's more reasons it works besides the "Power Slide" method. Even just lightly applying the parking/emergency brake helps because the suspension loading of adding rear drag tends to pull the nose down adding more pressure and bite on the front tires and effectively reducing understeer in FWD vehicles even without kicking the back end out or locking it up

I had to resist the urge to run to the nearest open diff, automatic, $1k, FWD shitbox Scion XA while watching this video

I typically just use the Scandinavian flick method but slightly altered so I don’t understeer since my car doesn’t have a handbrake and it’s hard to control the pedal thing

Damn really gave me nostalgic feelings when the boys and I would compete setting the fastest lap on the Nurburgring, gt5/gt6 600pp cars or 550pp street tires no slicks. My favorite car was the DC5 to track as well as the CRX on there

Left foot braking is more controllable and preferable to handbrake, since it won't lock the rears

You can and I have. A 1999 suzuki swift. A little flick when it was damp and the back end would slide out

You’ll also get flat spots on your rear tires keep that in mind

FWD drifting is easy. The thing that makes it so different than other drivetrain drifting is when you step on the throttle you will regain grip (at least that's my experience) so if you try to feather the throttle like you possibly would in RWD cars you would just eat guardrail. And for the most part it's nearly impossible to get one to do a braking drift and probably impossible for a Scandinavian flick with one so classic e-brake is the best option.

The Ef naturally breaks the rear wheels loose all the time 😂

Hard throttle over correct under steer is a lot of fun but hard on automatics, and CV Axles.

Not me drifting my mom’s ‘03 Civic with the boys

I power slid into a corner without the handbrake just with pure speed.

This guy literally teaches me how to drive

“Front wheel drive can’t drift” 16 year old me in my moms minivan with the e brake while it’s snowing out would beg to differ

I’m watching this to try and drift the exact car and color in fh5 gotta love initial D

On tarmac it should be always faster to keep the grip except on really tight corners, but less fun

I just bought GT7 and was reminded that it’s best to complete as many challenges in a single car layout rather than driving different layouts back to back. A FWD hatch, a mid-engine roadster, and a RWD front-engine coupe all require different methods to corner. Mix those methods up and into the berm you go. In real life, you’re realistically tracking one or the other for your average person.

Nice Music choice bro, been seeing a lot of Old school dnb and trance house lately

As an owner of a FWd car I will agree. Handbrake is my best friend

The true Drift for FWD can only be done with a manual. Shift lock (clutch kick) combined with left foot braking technique can force the back end out while accelerating to the inside. This is only useful on the downhill where load control (weight balancing) is more prominent and drifting can be faster in sections with lots sharp or winding corners. Generally though, FWD performs best when focusing on grip and drifting isn’t really worth it unless your up against an 86 on Akina Pass.

My brother autocrosses fwd civics, and the best thing to do is to keep the car as much within traction as possible. Fwd drifting is not useful, it's a great way to slam into the wall or reduce your lap time. If the car does start sliding, you want to give the car more throttle to break the slide and to regain traction

Drifting for the most part requires the rear tires to be pulling the back end around the corner. They do this by getting power to the back, which isn't possible in FWD. Handbraking is just a part of the drift overall.

Perfect I can use this to race my friends irl

As someone who drifts fwd in real life all the time in the winter and sometimes in the summer aswell, I can say that handbrake should only be used in tight corners and if you are understeering out of the road and there is no other way to stop the understeer but those situations are only happening when you have way too much speed (you are dead anyways no amount of drift gonna save you from that one) or then if there is over 5cm of fresh snow when the handbrake just might be able to save you with a slide especially useful when the snow is wet. On other occasions it is better to iniate the slide by other methods in faster corners such as scandinavian flick or trailbraking as those are more of a sure way of getting the car to atleast turn and most likely to slide but personally sometimes I just attack the corners by going hard on the throttle right before it and then letting off the gas completely when turning into the corners sharp but there is the danger of having too much speed if you don't know what you are doing as you need to have the right amount of speed or you are either gonna go out the road from the inside or the outside of the corner the reason that works though is because you get the mass shifting to the front and thus having more grip there. Defianetly take off the traction control before doing any of this shit as it will most defianetly kill you

Instructions unclear, i smashed into my neighbors house turning down my road.

I like how he never says that they're wrong

Bros real life Kenta

The best response for “yOu CaNt DrIfT FwD!!!” is “yeah maybe you cant”

Me : downloading Assetto Corsa for the 3rd time

irl you dont need to handbrake on loose surface you can use car weight transfer and brake pedal on transitions ;)

That call power side my man 😂

I drift my FD all the time irl. It just takes wide angles and short exits

trusting a cartoon video with a voice is crazy

U can get round a bend quickly by just following the racing line and give it a little throttle if the back end comes loose but it's much more fun to get the back end out

yo i thought that was real life but it was a video game at the end

Try handbraking a lot later. It's not like a trailbrake where you start as you turn in. It's better to almost over cook the entry. Try to e brake just before point of full brake release or full lift. Think of how it would look on a data trace

Or just dial a bit of oversteer into the chassis/suspension and at the limit, the car will naturally oversteer. What I’ve noticed, in my personal set up is -2° of camber up front, and about 0.3-0.5in difference between front and rear suspension so that there’s a slight forward rake. This dials up the oversteer and dials down the understeer. At the limit, you should get a decent amount of controllable understeer. This is in a Prelude SH.

Lift off oversteer in my experience is more effective, I’m more of a canyon guy so hairpins might be better with a handbrake.

⚫fk8 enters chat (handbrake method not applicable) ..but the 2nd method coincides with fk8's lsd setup etc which reasonably contributes to back kicking out under certain conditions anyway as described!

You could kinda inertia drift too. Lift off, scav flick and tap the brakes pretty hard. Only thing is that the throttle won't necessarily save you like an rwd if you don't know what to do next

It depends on what you consider drifting though, for me it isn't just handbrake and if you accelerate while doing a handbrake drift in a fwd car you'll gain back traction so for me that ain't drifting

Perfect example of this are horse carriages with their entire mass/power comes from the front

My FK8 Type R has no hand brake but I simple use lift-off oversteer to drift around corners lol

I think of a handbrake turn as being distinct from drifting personally. the whole deal looks different from any method used in rear wheel drive or all wheel drive cars

Very cool and useful❤❤❤ Thanks you a lot!❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
