I thought the idea of the open gutter technique is for the inner front wheel to go through it without dipping, as most of the weight has transferred to the outer side of the car while drifting.
while yes this is true, this game doesnt simulate it. suspension sag is common with cars, so seeing the suspension drop below the gutter isnt very suprising.
While yes the car's weight is resting on the other 3 tires, the weight of the 4th wheel itself causes the suspension to sag when the wheel isn't touching the ground
Yea video game limitations make this look kinda goofy. If it behaved more like real life and that wheel would move like that you'd bet your ass leaving that gutter would have hooked the front left tire and made you spin.

Every time I try this on Assetto I never gain any advantage and my car goes flying. Sometimes I can get part of my tire to hit the inside part of the gutter though and that actually works well.
you need to be faster while also accelerating to shift the weight to the back wheel. the type of suspension also matters because too stiff and the weight wont transfer enough to maintain lift and too much sag will make your wheel hook into the gutter
Really doesn't. If you want to be really good, get a bot that drifts for you. Maybe you can hit specialist on your own, maybe not, but to be 1 minute faster than specialist ratings you need bots. Also, this game advertises as a Sim racing game with drift mechanics tweaked a bit. well no, it's really just an arcade that feels Sim-racey about 15% of the time. It really is shit. Says the guy with months of experience in the game. Not like i can drift any good, i'm working on hitting platinum, but still. This really isn't anything special
