Still can't believe The Rock helped me make this video

1:25 That Assetto to BeamNG transition was so smooth I almost didn't notice

Learning how to drift on my wheel sim saved my life. Once I got into a bad situation on the road muscle memory kicked right in and I was able to keep control over the car, it almost felt like magic

You are very right about drifting being harder in game than real life. I had never drifted a real car when I was 14 but had plenty of playtime on assetto with my wheel. First time I tried drifting with a real car was with a BMW E30 on ice with wrc tires. It was a whole lot easier than I thought because you could really feel the car compared to only having a wheel and a shifter. Much more fun irl too. Had a BMW 523 last winter as my own "drift car". :D

6:42 : “Drifting in games is harder than real life”. THAT IS 100% TRUE Ong! From personal experience you have a lot more feedback IRL than in games because you understand what the car is doing and what it is going to go IRL. But In games, those factors are little to none.

One vital disadvatage of drifting in games is that you don't get the funny "drifting your bed after a night out with the boys" phenomenon. I consider this vital to the whole drift life experience...

2:26 The song is tevvez-legend if anyone's wondering

6:40 as someone with a drivers license, I think driving in general (at least in sim games like Assetto Corsa, BeamNG etc.) is way harder in games than it is irl, most likely due to the fact that in real life you get physical feedback from the car, you can feel it out, while in games it's pretty much only up to your knowledge and dexterity.

After thousands of hours of sim drifting, and well over a thousand laps of drifting irl the past 5 years or so, I can confirm that drifting is easier in real life. I've been developing mods for Assetto Corsa since it was released, but Beamng has huge potential for being the best game to drift on, so I am currently working on some mods that are made to actually drive well as opposed to what currently exists in beamng.

Small note for Assetto Corsa. Some of the drift cars have traction control enabled by default, which is obviously counterproductive when you want to go sideways.

I created this quote in my mind: “I am not a good drifter, but drifting is good”

5:38 you should've also included Live For Speed. a very old and underrated game but still one of the best simulator games out there for lo spec pc gamers. this game taught me a lot about drifting and i as able to carry out the skillset to games like assetto corsa very easily.

Video idea: do some Touge races, imagine the chaos when 8 idiots race on a narrow course.

MuYe releases his inner Lightning Mcqueen for the sake of this video

1:45 what the bmw rock doin

The real problem isn't lacking just skill but it's also lacking knowledge. I feel as though once you start understanding what's actually happening when you're drifting it really helps a lot.

Is nobody gonna talk how this man drifted a literal bolder.

As someone who has drifted my sedan but can’t drift in a game to save my life, yes it’s harder in games

I think the key to being good at drifting, is to first learn how to drive at the limit. Race until you reach the limit of your car, if your car is prone to under steering, you will quickly learn how to perform weight transfer and be good at lift off oversteer. If your car is prone to oversteer, you will quickly learn how to control it's slip angle and make use of the rotation to gain speed. Once you get used to that, drifting is not a deliberate move, it becomes part of manipulating the dynamics of the car.

1:18 okay nice one my snigga

1:39 Bro was really sliding the ooga booga 500

6:25 Euro truck simulator soundtrack One of my favourite 😂

here in russia we have a thing which is winter drifting on a fiat 124 successors (classic rwd models of Lada). You take one of those, weld a diff, slap tuned front arms in it for better steering angle (there is aftermarket for this lol), rip off a handbrake locking button and at the frozen lake outside of a city you go (some mess around in a city itself, dont do that). And yes, after a few hours you gonna drift, no problem. Also this car costs less than direct drive steering wheel alone, not to mention a seat, shifter, handbrake and actual gaming pc. Drifting on ice is slower than drifting on a dry of course, but everything except speed is the same and yes, it is easier than do something similar in a simulator.

Awesome video! Just saw you used (and credited) our footage from Mountain Drifting 3, too cool. ✌🏻

i remember when i started drifting in ac the pain and frustration was real i wanted to destroy my wheel and quit but after 1 month of suffering i started to understand the feeling and it became so obvious .For people who want to drift in ac start with default drift car don't download any car mods it was my first mistake and also don't quit everyone have been trough the same pain .good luck .sorry for bad english btw

You can somewhat simulate the g-forces if you get a motion rig for your seat, but that can only really give you the sensation of the initial movements or changes in direction.

I agree, drifting in sims is much harder than irl. Part of it is the added fear of consequences if you get too much angle in a school zone. Nothing beats that thrill.

dude ive been watching since like 30k subs ur vid quality has increased an insane amount keep it up

I learned to go through the pain of learning to drift with a keyboard

I can confirm drifting is easer in real life than in games btw. (partially depending on set up, sitting in a full moving rig helps) . That being said, practicing drifting is a lot cheaper in games than in real life.

I have always had a harder time drifting in game than in real life. When drifting a real car you can feel how the car behaves much better, which cant be translated well through force feedback even on direct drive models. i even have difficulties drifting just one long corner in games, while in the real world, holding a drift and even linking corners isnt a big issue. BUT: Drifting in game translates very well into real life, if you can drift in a sim, you wont find it hard to drift a real car.

1:39 A nice, first time seeing the BMW M Rock in the wild, that advertisement almost convinced me to buy one

MuYe in 2020: "How to drift" MuYe in 2022: "Why you suck at drifting" *Things took a sharp turn, didn't it?*

Thanks for this video. This really helped me improve in MarioKart. :)

An interesting thing I've learned on my own with sim racing, drifting is very hard to learn, but quite easy to master, as opposed to grip driving/time attack, which looks easy to learn, but f0cking INSANE to master!

NFS Undercover was super cool for drifting with keyboard. Since it was meant to be an arcade game rather than a simulation, the game engine would actually help you with drifting. You would tap the break and then steer into the turn, and it would fling around the trunk and "lock" you in a drift, where you could control the angle/tightness with taps to left/right keys until you briefly let go of the acceleration. This worked even for cars that in reality would have a hard time drifting, like Lamborghinis with 4 wheel drive. They called this artificial assistant "Heroic Driving Engine" and it would also support you on maneuvers like U- or J-turns. So if you are into drifting but only have a keyboard, I can recommend that game to you.

3:14 Mouse steering makes drifting way easier in BeamNG, especially with driver camera view with camera inertia enabled (and a little horizon lock). Using it with orbit or chase is not quite so helpful, as you can't see the steering wheel at all, and the point of using a mouse is to make input more similar to a steering wheel (because I'm too broke for a wheel). Mouse steering should also be accompanied by analog inputs for pedals if you have a controller- I use LT for brakes, LS up for throttle, and LB for handbrake, with mouse 4/5 for shifts. If you don't have a controller, you may want to resort to keyboard for pedals, as binding it to the mouse Y axis makes it hard to keep throttle steady while moving steering (or vice versa). Mouse should be on wheel/direct binding for steering- if inputs aren't smooth, that's on you (or your mouse is actually garbage and you should have spent like $20 on a decent mouse)

Also: Clutch is neccesary Clutch gives traction on rears meaning makes less rotation but you're going outside Clutch kick brakes traction on rears Less power on rears gives more traction and less rotation More power on rears pushes you inside but also gives more rotation On a handbrake you're losing speed but same time makes you go further on inertia More angle means you're going to inside quickly and loosing speed Less angle you're going to outside and speed up Brakes mostly for fronts and brakes slow you down but also add rotation Playing with brakes you can make the curve shorter and more curved especialy staying on throttle So basically just imagine the car like two points of traction with road (back and rear), figure out where inertia leads you and think about how inputs will change your traction (and speed and direction of spinning) on both fronts and rears and what it does do your line, speed, angle

love ur vids, funny and helpful

You can actually simulate most forces (i.e. the car feel) using a motion simulator such as Stewart platform. You'll have to DIY one though because commercially available ones charge an arm and a leg.

fully agree. i am currently making mods for beamng that focus directly on making drifting better, ie more realistic feeling and tuning meaning its easier than the standard parts. i have ETKI drift mod out now (bacons etki drift parts on the repo) and have 200bx on in process ;)

Hey man, I'm not too good at drifting, but what I have learned to watch for was mainly pedal control and knowing when to catch the wheel for the drift. So, let me begin A. Pedal control Pedal control mainly consists of trying to get the power to the rear wheels not just consistent, but also right for the corner you're taking. Start off with first slowly letting the throttle on, and slowly letting the throttle off. Do this for about 5 times while going around the track to see the amount of slip your car has. Also, when you do slip, relax your hands and let the wheel spin freely. B. Catching the wheel When you know the power and have a good idea of when the car will slip based on throttle control, catching the wheel is what comes next. You will need to make sure you have good and consistent throttle control to actually drift. But nonetheless, onward with the wheel. You will need to try and estimate the angle of your drift to the angle of the curve. If you can do that, you will put some power down to try and make sure you can. You might not need much, going from 20%-60% throttle most of the time, and also speed is another part of it. If you have too much speed at the end of a gear, you won't slip and therefore not drift. But back to it. The throttle control is very important if you have too little/much speed, as too little speed and spinning wheels will mean you will need about 20% throttle to keep it mostly stable. If you have the right amount of throttle, you will not just keep the drift stable, but be able to adjust your angle if the turn widens/sharpens.

the timing of this video could not be better, I just got off AC frustrated asf cuz I cant drift. Thanks MuYe.

Starting with gaming and moving into real cars has made it a lot better for me, at home i got a pretty good sim setup, but its so much easier to through my car around in the snow

If nothing else this video motivated me to actually try and get better instead of smashing my head into a wall after spinning out once

3:56 man, I’ve killed four mosquitoes in my room tonight and that engine sound got me fucking triggered I thought there was a fifth one

Loved the video!

this is hilarious. liked & subbed

Sounds like a clear skill issue

2:03 "Get gud"

I started learning how to drift after seeing Tokyo Drift in theaters 18 years ago. I got a good FFB wheel, some of the best sims of the time (LFS, rFactor, original Forza Motorsport and the sequel), and put TONS of time into learning how to make a car go sideways. Took several years to get decent at it, but once I did, drifting in real life came naturally to me. First time I ever went sideways in the snow, the counter steering was instinctual from all of the hours I put into learning how to drift in sims. I even learned how to drive stick before ever getting my learner's permit. You will get out of it what you put in, if you want to get good, just keep at it and don't give up when it doesn't seem to come to you right away. It's all about understanding and anticipating what the car is going to do, and how to control it, all will come with practice.

i love how you stretch the video x) nice vid

100% TRUE here

0:02 lets just appreciate that this whole video is created in a wheel

This made me laugh a few times...great video. Keep it up

6:39 I actually agree since I can’t feel the car’s movements in my chair like I can in my car seat. I can feel things like the car gaining and losing traction through my arse.

Dude, I love your videos. The whole style and everything is just. Amazing. Thank you for existing. 🙌

I learned nothing from this video, and I don't even have a sim setup

High-pitched Mai Yamane's Tasogare at 4:55, very nice!

5:36 that "how its made" music hits hard

And these values were with the help of my rocks I had always relied on to give ratings like this

5:03 based, i agree

4:33 damn bro you didnt have to do us like that

4:10 thats why are the tutorials 💀.Also love ur channel man.

I taught myself how to drift in a RB swapped 180sx with 300-400 hp on Forza Motorsport 7. Note I was on a wheel when I was learning and am only able to drift on FM7. I am very much still a beginner

In my opinion, it is both a skill issue and a reality issue. Drifting is something that requires lots of skill to pull off, which is why most arcade racers (especially burnout and early 2010's need for speed) assist you when drifting.

@4:55 when the Pissy Pamper song came on, I freaked out bc that instrumental part is my ring tone for the past 4 years

i expected muye to roast the crap out of me but this time he actually teach me how, this is amazing!!

Probably because I dont own a car...

4:20, i think i remember a roblox game looking like this. Can someone tell me if this actually is roblos?

6:44 actual facts this man spitting straight truth this entire video

I'm so proud of myself that i can drift with any car in BeamNG, even if it's a big heavy car, supercar, FWD or AWD it doesn't matters. All comes to the practice and patience, wheel settings also plays a big role. Start with low angle (Dont go below 540 degrees) then slowly increse as you improve. Also do not set the force feedback to high, no real car makes steering too hard to turn while sliding. For RWD cars: Best tip i can give you is to don't hold the wheel too tight, let it move as your car gains angle and balance it with your throttle. At first you will start to see yourself spinning out to the other direction, so don't be too aggressive when initiating a slide, turn with less steering angle and gradually increase throttle input until you start to slide then let the wheel countersteer itself and the car will quickly catch itself practice little powerslides like that until you get comfortable. Cars with longer wheelbase will help you because they gain angle more progressively. For the rest just experiment at gridmap or any open area, you will learn a lot by yourself.

0:34 This is actually distracting... I have to pause the video and rewind everytime XD

1:33 that’s some serious constipation. You should see a doctor

When you look up tutorials on how to drift and you find a video telling you to look up tutorials on how to drift: Good job ex-engineer, problem solving Italian man. Subscribed.

Muye actually gives out good advice, thought I would never see this

1:44 this is cursed

Skill issue. If you wanna drift easy in AC just use modded cars. If you wanna drift easy in BeamNG just turn on the assists. If you still can't drift, practice. If you have a gear driven wheel, seek help.

First 2 minutes into the video and I already feel like this guy deserves a sub.

Also get a heavy desk. Sometimes when i need to correct angle mid drift i pick mine up and throw it across the room on accident

I spent my teenage years watching drift pov videos with wheel and foot cams then tried sims and killed it then tried it in a real car and it felt easier than in sims you feel a lot more in a car then just looking at a flat screen

this man can make a burp into a beat i just know it

We’re all gonna make it brahs!!

It's so rewarding to learn though. I feel that drifting at moderate speeds is way more exciting than full speed laps for personal bests. I've picked up sim drifting at around 60 hrs in, very non consecutive, huge gaps in between. Tutorials helped a lot, since drifting is not very intuitive and even counter intuitive if you're transitioning from racing. The rest is just throwing the car around as much as possible to get comfy. Also, interestingly, I think taking some time off between sessions is important to prevent building bad habits. Mulling over mistakes for a few days and visualising the fix works insanely well. I'm only drifting sim once a week atm but I'm making big improvements between each session just focusing on fixing one or two big things at a time.

the burb in the beginning has some charm to it with bgm

6:40 True. For one point ; internal ear Your human body (or anything else) is equipped with an internal G-force feedback sensor ! Incredible !

4:59 just after saying this an Alibaba advertisement started hahahah

Ur actually funny af I’m subed now

Maybe I'm an anomaly but I started drifting in AC and had no issues linking and holding combinations the first time I tried. I also don't have a clutch or ebrake, those are on the way, so I'm wondering if that'll be even easier. I have really good control over steering wheel slip and throttle, so that tells me to be good at drifting is like 90% understanding the steering wheel rotation and how to control your throttle.

I'll try drift soon, i bought some drift lessons, i'll tell you about my experience later if you want. To the moment i just slided randomly with the handbrake on fwd cars and i can tell it's easier to control from a game cause of all the feelings the car gives you irl. In games what really blocks me is the missing feeling of the whole car around me i think, and i can't drift at all without hood or cockpit camera, still i suck ar drifting in games lol

Mouse steering is goated af! Just use it for a couple hours and remember to return the wheel to the center after a turn (need interior cam) and keep the sensitivity on the low side with a big mouse pad, some practice and you can control it super well

i love it how Muye uses ETS2 and farming Simulator 19 sondtracks 😄

gotta love the 'How its Made' background music...

bro the quality of these videos

Damn 2 hours Is my warm up into my daily drifting session 🤣

I think it comes down to that in real life you have an accelerometer and a vibration sensor built in that tell you when the car's breaking traction and gives you a better "mental image" of where the car is going

Yooooo how did i not find this channel earlier?

Grazie mille, buon video! 🚗💨

I always drove high powered RWD cars in games like GT1 and 2 and Forza Motorsports 1 and 2, so I was accustomed to massive oversteer. The biggest challenge when it came to drifting was leaving the rear hanging out for entire corners and connecting the corners. Forza M3 is when I started getting into drifting hardcore. My friends were already really into it, and I wanted to drift with them. I essentially learned to drift on Amalfi (Positano in FM4) in a RWD 300C Chrysler… big car on a short tight course with multiple track surfaces. I started experimenting with the tune; more negative camber and adding toe. After 2-4 weeks, I made my way up the leaderboard… Top 500 turned into 100, and eventually to the top 10. Then I started hitting other tracks, and they seemed easy to get really high scores thanks to cutting my teeth on a fairly hard track. It led to competition between my friends and I. In the end, 3 of us were breaking into the top 10 overall RWD drift leaderboard (all track scores combined). I eventually made it my mission to be #1 on Amalfi; which happened a number of times. I’d get it, someone would get higher, and I’d come back to beat them again (talking about you Mon Canard, lol) We did the same on FM4.

I genuinely tried drfiting, messing with throttle, car tunes, tracks, wheel rotation degree, letting it do its thing and catching, trying different gears, catching early or later, after 4 months still cant even drift on a wheel and i've given up. 3 different games later im tired of starting one, its fine i catch and either the car spins like a beyblade or it stiffens like a rock hard... rock. literally regardless of my throttle or steering angle or aproach
