How to Drift: 4 Techniques to Control Your Line 

Sign up for my "Tandem Talk" Newsletter: join.kametrick.com/ It's got drift tips, behind the scenes content, and raw unreleased drift footage!

i like how ur drift car isnt beat up. its very clean.

Your videos are very handy for me. I'm only using them for Sim drifting for now though. I'm looking to build myself a drift car in the near future though.

This is probably the best video on RU-vid to watch for a beginner hoon. Definitely the best when it comes to an in-depth explanation on throttle steering, specifically. I hope this gets as many views as it deserves.

Dam. What a beast! Especially drifting with another car next to you drifting. The level of control and trust in each other is wild. Big props

Super informative video as usual from you, Mr Turtle! As a beginner, getting a grip on throttle control is tricky. Having a look at the rev/torque curve and learning to listen to the engine really helped me, as I used to spin out a lot when the turbo kicks in. Also, doughnuts tend to look triangular while getting started ;)

I apologize, I didn't catch a single word. I was too busy watching the cars drift and wouldn't allow any distractions.

Your videos are so well made and the added visual aids are just great, keep it up!

Beautifully driven and described! Thank you.

Great video I’m new to drifting and your videos are so informative. You’re presentation is also on point in my opinion! Looking forward to you upcoming videos! Keep up the great work!

@7:37 I made it into a video, awesome!!! Thank you Ben, can't wait to show you how much I've improved later this year 🙏

As someone who benefits from detailed and holistic explanations, your tips and video style are really informative. Your voice in this video gave me mad watch mojo vibes.

Thank you for putting these videos together

Great video, can't wait for the next installment

waiting your Inspiring content as always Kame! good luck man! and thank you.

Super helpful. Love all the demonstrations, very well done

by far one of the best explanations along with great practical examples. 7:42 is a great recap

I barely understand english, but I enjoyed this Drift guide. This works in real and apply for videogames (Assetto Corsa) too.

Excellent video!! Keep up the great work!!

Awesome video with your signature chill straight-forward narration. Really helping my sim drifting technique, keep up the great content!

I’ve got a 04 Mercedes cl600 and I’m building it into a drift missle. Ur vids help whenever I oversteer and my heart skips a beat 😂. Thanks man 👍🏽

Once you explained the throttle steer I completely understand now. This is awesome

2:11 hahaha the guy spinning is so funny w friend for getting that video though!

very good video ! thanks for all those explaination !

Awesome video kame. Stoked your getting back at it 🤙🏼

I just want to say I just found this channel and absolutely love it. So informational, and I love learning from you!!! I love the videos. I used to play a lot of car drifting games and seeing you take it into real life is awesome!!!

Great Video! good work on the graphics. well explained.

Awesome!! Look forward to watching it! In sims it's easy for me to just floor it and not use the nuances of throttle control.

Its amazing how good you have explained every detail, ill Def try on my sim and later on my e36 hehe

Low frills video shows the important details. Thanks for the well-lit pedal/foot cam inset.

Can't wait to see this! I'm using front brakes too much.

Awesome quality!!

Best throttle control demo I've seen

Thanks for the info

Will try

Great video 👍 Great skills 👏

this is gonna be so helpful in my drift journey

Grade A content. Wish I had found you a few weeks ago when there was snow and slush everywhere, I would have had no problems drifting around roundabouts.

* Excellent (as always!) *

Ubeliavable. I found your channel right when I needed it the most. Advanced drifting techiques. Thanks

I’d love to have a go at drifting . 👍👍👍👍

This is dope

Wow, i didn't even knew these things and was full throttling in carx 2 and didn't knew how to drive, a lot information, trank you❤

This is the video I needed

Your explain things very well, keep up the good work

cant wait to watch this

The @VLSkate of Drifting. Keep up the great work!

Beautiful content.

Instructions unclear, I wrecked my 4cyl malibu into a ditch

Watching bc I just got my first rwd car & it’s turbo and on 15s on top of that. Drove it in the rain today & almost spun out a couple times. Need to learn how to control it more safely

I started drifting this year. In this weekend was my first qualification (unsuccessful). In one episode, where I had too much speed and needed to make a transition i put the feet of the throttle and was slingshotted and turned around. I know, that that was the case and what was the mistake thanks to you! Your channel is so extremely helpful with more advanced techniques and knowledge, cant describe how lucky i am that I found it. Thanks 🎉

Happy New Year brother

this is pretty good for faster RWD lap times, as this is one of the techniques to get the "4 wheel drift" or slip angle. coming into a corner too fast will understeer your car, too slow, and bad lap times. but if you make the rear suddenly light enough to start slipping, then the hardest things is the steering and throttle. steering or putting too much throttle will spin the car, too little steering or acceleration will understeer(it will make the car controllable though) the hardest part is getting on the peak of your tyres grip. too much slipping of the rear and you will go off-course at the apex or outside the entry. too little slip then thats understeer, you also go off course. it may seem to some "arent you loosing grip because you are drifting?" yes, but the goal of this technique is speed, the faster you go the harder it is to grip. advice is you want to drift the car but you dont want to countersteer (for most of the time)

your videos have made drifting so much fun for me and I found out alot of things to use that help alot when I drift either on acc or car x but this one guy named ty skiddz said I was ass at drifting just becuase I was running a car that had "lower rear tire pressures then him" so he couldnt keep up with me aswell as he had such stiff suspenssion it was like his car was made in the flinstonse age compaired to mine witch would obsorbe almost all the bumps and could do jump drifts smothly while his car literally would spin out of control every time after he touches the bariars even a tiny bit with my car the tires would glide over the bariars like they werent there so what do you think feel free to look at my only tuning video to see how I tune my cars in most my games and let me know if there is anything I could fix if you want its all up to you of corse cuase your content is amazing and i love learning more about drifting every time I watch your videos

this video just makes me realize how much I miss my 240SX... I had a 1989 gray hatchback and 1990 silver coupe and a 1997 gray coupe (granted I don't think they were still doing hatchbacks in the late 90s lol)

Halfway through the video and I realise that my drifting in AC with the S15 WDTS has a problem. I always drift very close (sometimes on....) the rev limiter. This makes it so that I have very little throttle to play with! So I will have to go and look at my gearing and tyre pressure to see if I can gain some more revs to play with. Or perhaps go with a different car. Super informative as usual Ben, may the algorithm bless you!

One day, I'll be doing this haha, loved this video, your driving looks fantastic man. Mazda rx-7 3rd gen is the dream, one day I'll be able to use this video again man, thanks for the education.

Watching these a few times over so next time I'm at the track I don't do accidental 360s the whole time!

I may have got a ride along in the drift riot car!! 2 years later I got my drift car and now just mentally preparing for track days!!

Tried drifting yesterday and smacked a curb😭🤦‍♂️ this video is perfect for me😭

Before I spit ny experiences, I would like to declare something, which is actually about my normal day driving skills. I'm a Malaysian, basically i shifted from Manual to Auto, as we all know Manual has 3 3 compressors under our legs (apologies, not really sure what they were called), Clutch, Brakes, and Accelerator, while Auto only has 2, Accelerator and brake. So, for my daily driving routine, as a student, I drive 12km from the house to University, and 3km to 6km for Lunch, while 7km to come back to University, and 14km from university coming back to home. So there's a total of 39km of my daily routine on weekday. With that saying, I've drove for at least 2 years, by using right leg for accelerate, and left leg for braking. Therefore, until today, I did my first drifting, with my old Toyota Corolla, manual still. Surprisingly, I can get on hook with the drifting with Corolla so quick, and hardly to have issues or accidents. The heaviest accident I've had is the tyre got poked by nails, casing me to loose controls over a slow and shirt distanced driving session. After knowing the casuses of my fail, I did all the preparation I needed. Eventually, I did few more driftings after that accident. Fortunately, I was able to learn some from one of my relative who was an ex-racer in Malaysia, as he taught me drifting, and speed controlling in secret, since my parents hated me to do all these dangerous sports. And seemingly, it has became my daily routine, from normal driving to University, and drifting back from University to home. I should appreciate the people I've met, and the video that got me into a better skilled driver. Thanks, Brother!

I power away in the exit of a fwd in games and it feels so satisfying if the car is underpowered and you time your downshift right. Enter the corner a bit fast and tuck it in carefully and then ballance toward the edge of the track. Downshift and throttle full and if you entered the turn fast enough and didnt understeer you can swing the rear around in certain cars extremely well. The issue is if it locks the wheels up without handbrake and your suddenly trying to stop it can spin out if your using the body weight and rotating the car like that. Also burning the inside tire isnt recommended but in games it takes less energy to maintain full power than it does to get up to full power. On hillclimbs a fwd will love to go wide as you throttle up so you need to be more straight on the hill facing up the hill than you would downhill even if its by a few tiny degrees. It makes a difference. If I had a steering wheel set up I could further study the idea.😅 it requires every bit of skill you got to maintain speeds like that. Awd is also fun. I happen to suck at rwd racing due to the nature of how awd and fwd behave. The rear end snaps out way too easy for me

bro this is slightly off topic, but oh my goodness your 240 sounds majestic 😍

Just got the licence yesterday 😂

Kame’s narration is better than most actual narrators 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I always just think of drift throttle modulation techniques as inverse versions of grip throttle modulation. Because it is exactly what it is most of the time when your wheels are already spinning.

was this at full lock drift in oklahoma by chance?

I remember my first ride in a drift car at fredericia in 09' I played it well and got a: against better judgement we let you have a ride-along. Thats how i ended up with tasting it BMW E30 Style. The next year i got a corvette c6 for a ride along. Next goal is ebisu...

Or a block of tofu. Wp. 👏👏👏

easy drift cool

this is very helpful seeing as though my car is an automatic and has no hydro brake

Your videos are super pro and cool man 👍 you should work for a car brand and do the voice overs for their mechanical videos 😎 btw i checked out the channel but couldn't find a video about your assetto corsa drift settings, and why. I watched the one for the steering wheel, but none for in-game settings, I love to read suspension, car and drift articles and try to play with it and tweek it afterwards in the simulator. Would love to see a video like this by you 🙏

what are the possibles damages for ur car ? for a FWD and a RWD when trying to drift and while drifting ? i would really like your help anyone. I have a 2004 VW golf 5 1.9 tdi 90hp and it has 400k km

just came to say your 240 looks great

Could you try Arch's builds in Asseto? It's considered best representation of real life physics. Would be interested in your opinion. Might start with Lenny's 180SX

so im learning now. and i hit corners good but when im close to straightening back out smoothly at the last point of the drift the car yanks to either side slightly but its very noticeable im still learning

I can only add that you should not feel discouraged if it doesn't work right away. Take breaks, come back to it and practice. It takes a bit of time but it is well worth it 👍🏻

Whenever I see those clips it looks like the steering angle at the front wheels is extreeeeme. Is this somehow changed in comparison to factory defaults, do you guys take actions to achieve those crazy steering angles?

does reverse entry require more of the clutch and throttle control or full send it all the way?

Wonderful demo dude seen a lot but not as explained as this.

I’ve got the basics down pretty well enough to drift while driving on a track, however I haven’t been able to link all my turns because I suddenly regain traction no matter what I do, what would you recommend?

Only thing im lost on is how to go from one angle to the other on a figure 8 or something, also cant i use the clutch to shift weight as well?

Hey man, just dropping by with a question. I remember it being you, what was the name of the steering wheel that you used to use on your sim setup? I remember it being kinda glossy and I loved that finish. Other than that, hope you're doing well!

whats the left most peddal?

And how does having a welded diff or stock open diff influence in this scenario?

What is the nem of the music in video

❤🔝🔝🔝🔥

23:14 это не та карта, которую уже проходил Паша с Дизоффом?

Where do I find a drift track? 😢

Well shit. Been doing this for over a year and today I learned that power away is actually a thing, with a name, that can be done at will, rather than something that randomly occurs in cars with too much negative camber at the front. Back to spending a month in hermit mode practicing a new skill 😅

wow

Why is me watching this, I’m 13😅

Fr ledgends irl tutorial

How about clutch tutorial? I have seen many times pros clutch kick even mid drift and I wonder why and when to do this 🤔

Any bod know the music name in vedio

OMG ik this course, I live near full lock and they were my first events, can't wait to actually get out there

What track is this?? Looks fun!

Hope your doing well man. Friday sessions soon?

Bro it's gonna go live at 3 am I ain't staying up that late😄

what gear are you in 2 or 3?
