Your voice sounds kinda like the “how its made” voice

Man, this is perfect timing! I'm going through the process of learning these techniques on my sim setup. It's been frustrating at times trying to get stuff right, but this helps so much so thank you for this!!

Finally an actual indepth video explaining the techniques and how it affects the car and tandem! amazing videooo

This is soooo good. Thank you!

Best series for learning, thanks, man!

Yup, watching it for the 7tth time and still learning something. You really made a great video.

Your vids helped a lot when I first started on the sim! Thanks for the great content!

fantastic video; thank you!

This series is exactly what I freakin need! Thank you!

Sweet! I made it into another video at 8:22! Thank you again Ben🤟 this was my first time ever trying to follow from a distance. Your videos gave me the confidence to try my first ever "tandem" and I totally bailed on the last turn by hitting the brakes bc I felt too close lol

Watching drifters is impressive already, but seeing in detail the techniques they use is astonishing 😮 Absolutely amazing 👏🏾 Might have to fire up AC and give it a go

Welcome back buddy

This is the best video I've seen on left foot braking. I learned sim drifting on touges, in solo, so I didn't even go online in Assetto until a year ago(I've been learning on sims for about four years now though). And left foot braking was just something that I started doing naturally when drifting touges like Happogahara. You slow down for a corner and you notice that the car naturally swings the rear out as a consequence. And by now I consider it to be almost as important as throttle and wheel control. I think of throttle, wheel and brake when used together acting as a way of triangulating the car's position. Imagine the car from overhead: you want to know exactly where it is: so you have three dots that when linked confine the car to a particular position. That's triangulation. If you only have two dots you're not going to be able to confine it to a very precise position. But add a third dot and you can determine where it is with a lot more precision. That's what adding left foot brake to throttle and wheel control does for me. Those three things triangulate the position of the car while drifting. I was drifting a Tsubaki line lobby yesterday, a very tricky touge with tight corners and roads and a lot of elevation changes, and I was using the brake in some form for pretty much 60-70% of the run. For forcing power over in tight areas where you can't weight-transfer flick the car, for tightening angle for an upcoming corner, for slowing a transition if it's getting a bit wild in too high a gear, for reverse entrying big fast corners, etc. etc. My handbrake(do not buy Fanatec handbrakes BTW - public service information, yw) has been broken since Christmas, and with left foot brake I really don't notice its absence that much. I don't use clutch anywhere near as much as left ft braking; other people use clutch a lot and I just don't quite understand what they're getting out of it aside from clutch-kicking for maintaining revs. I asked another YT drifter and they got quite angry and defensive because I said it seemed like left foot braking could do all of what the clutch was doing, only with more precision because you have more control over a brake than over a clutch. He said drifters only use the brake when they've made an error and left foot braking is pointless. That's when I left.

Great video!

Really nice videos and explanation of every technique!i love when you combine sim and irl!!!!thank you for the great job and effort you put in videos!

I love these episodes please do more !

This is a wealth of information that I’ve been needing

This is a fantastic video. Thanks Ben!

Great video! Appreciate you!

Heyy, welcome back!

I'm looking to get a lot of seat time in my miata this summer, I really appreciate these well put together tips, keep up the good work dude!

Ur videos helped a lot in my journey past 2y and I can drift well now. Thanks!

was actually thinking about this the other day. Well timed video :D

Haven’t seen ur streams or anything in forever I’m HYPED

You accelerate slower is great mnemonic. :)) You accelerate slower thus letting your rear catch up and get more oversteer, thus more angle. Quality vid!

Drifting with sim is soo satisfying highly recommend trying it.

Because of you it made me remember that Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya’s Old Drift Tutorial man love it

I didn't know left foot braking was the more understood technique. It just felt natural to left for because its you can make small and precise adjustments. It just felt like the right thing to do. I would often then get confused and didn't understand why I saw people using only one foot. You're video's definitely helped me understand more about the techniques for drifting. Thank you, You are doing an amazing job making these videos, you do such a good job about braking things down simply. Amazing work.

Great content, delivery style and video examples! One minor issue is that you're talking about how various inputs affect the G-forces... But in reality there are no G-forces. There's the inertia of the car (that wants to go straight at constant speed and steady rotation if no forces are applied), friction from the tires (which is the primary thing you control with the pedals and the steering wheel) and the load on the suspension (which is the secondary thing you control). What's perceived by the driver as G-forces is just the car trying to carry the driver along with the car (same thing -- the body wants to keep traveling straight at constant speed).

Thank you very much! Very interesting, I'll try this tomorrow in tandems. Seems, I know how all of this works, but cannot match with tandems unfortunately. I will try the last tip about left foot braking in transitions and this tip with less angle and control of the speed with the brake. But I have another issue: when I make a transition behind the leader, I jump too inside (go to inner line more than I need) and have less angle. Smaller angle I'll try to fix with left foot brake, but what to do with the lining behind the leader? Probably, this is not a question for a comments section, maybe one day you will decide to make a detailed video about this xD. What questions are in my head: where to watch and which parts of the leader car should I focus on to stay in good stable tandem? What line can be the most effective to control the situation and be able to stay close? How to handle slower drivers (for example, a leader who runs in super big angles)? The last one I guess is a left foot brake as well, but maybe you have more tips for this.

Jeez who put the clips together for the editing? Nice work

Can we get one on slipping the clutch and clutching in, during tandem driving to maintain proximity

hey kame I was wondering have you ever used your sim on the game car x cause they got your car in the game and I wanted to get your opinion on if the game feels like real life to you and weather real life tuning actually translates to the game or not?

I don’t know about yall but I’m here because I’m trying to learn how to drift in CarX drift online…NEW 🆕 WITH THIS SIMULATION DRIFT STUFF! 😅

2:20 i 5:38 6:49 🚘

At 4:49, is there a reason that you clutch in while using the foot brake?

Im lesrning alot thanks!! Me personally i dont think ill ever tandem tho

For anyone who wants a good beginners drift car, which they can daily drive, that is affordable plus reliable... it sounds almost impossible. But there is the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86. These cars are affordable to get, good gas mileage, no turbo, very light, 4 seats 2 doors, low center of gravity, high redline, stock limited slip diff, 200+ hp, and somewhat narrow wheels. All of this means that the car just loves to go sideways, but it is very predictable. All while it is reliable and cheap to run.

Can you please share your fanatec wheel settings? I’ve been dying to get some good settings. We have the same wheel and you have a lot of seat time in a real car, so I figure your settings are pretty realistic, thank you!

The fact that im watching this video on the bus is too ironic

Man, i love drifting my awd gtr r35 in forza horizon 5 on my controller

I just watch it for the visuals

haha never got the handbrake working on my car. Maybe next season ;)

2:25 no heckin way you were at Sandia speed way!!!! Was that for no coast drift party?! That’s my local track!

Watching this lying on my bed😅

Can someone explain “angle stall”, why it happens and how to deal with it?

I feel like this will only make more sense to me when I’m actually practicing with help

How much does it cost to maintain this hobby?

People dangling their arms out of the window always makes me think of Def Leopard's drummer 🙄😬😮‍💨

Κουράστηκα

The beginning step is to put up the money to build a drift car 😂😂😂😢

drifting is for losers. jk its not. i wish i could do this.

When the drift king whips the car he makes the road seem as if it drifted for him 1:40
