You could fit a ducking 4.5 metre car going sideways through a 4.6 metre wide road in interior POV. I've never seen hater comments but whatever they said was going to hold zero weight whatsoever. Chin up king, and keep it coming.🤘
They literally make truck drivers practice by playing a simulator. F1 drivers practice by playing simulators. I don’t know why people think drifting is any different. Even pilots practice flying by playing simulators…
@@FirssenSimracing Some play F1 official games for fun, but they do "play" like top secret F1 simulator (simulator, not game) designed by the racing team
I took off, flew AND landed a plane in my first lesson with no help because my instructor knew how much time I spent doing research and practicing with my home sim. Before he let me land by myself (which is incredibly rare) he asked if I was actually a pilot that had been pranking him the whole time. He was a new hire at the flight school and thought the owners set it up to test him. Simulators work, which is why professionals regularly use them for training. There are a number of videos similar to Shifter's that prove this as well.
From what I observed, when a real life drifter tries to drift in a sim they lose information that they depend on like the g-force. That’s why they tell you it’s not the same. Sim drivers are used to rely on the wheel feedback to drift, so when they drift a real car they don’t lose information they only gain more feedback from the car.
to a degree yes. i drift both irl and practice on corsa, and you both lose feedback and gain it when doing it irl. main thing is a real car has the scare factor of being real, so you dont wanna just go crazy and crash it. so although you gain g forces, you lose recklessness. its pretty much equal for those reasons.
But to get to that point in drifting it already takes abundance of experience no body is going to transfer from sun to track and be the best and no one is saying that it does help ground you to the fundamentals that will carry you to that point
A friend of mine played a lot of gran turismo 6 before we met in college. After we met, he’s the most knowledgeable guy in campus on how to properly setup and tune your car irl + he drives fast irl and in sim games. Thanks to him, i am a bit more knowledgeable on how a car behaves while racing. He got recruited by a famous drifter in my country, was sent for a drift trial on an event with a loaned 3 series e36 with me riding shotgun. That’s the start of him being recognized as a junior drifter. All that just by playing gran turismo! He went on to win a nationwide event with a loaned e46 drift car, and became a pro class drifter. I definitely can attest that sim racing or drifting will actually train you for the real thing.
There's a lot of feedback IRL that you just don't get in sim racing. In sim racing, you get cool tire screeching sounds and wheel force feedback. When breaking traction in real life, your shift knob starts to shake, you can feel the car rotating around center mass, your chassis/suspension communicates on when your car is about to break (assuming you're experience with the car). You know what though, without sim racing, I would've made at least a couple expensive mistakes by now.
@@Osamabintardin okay? I'm not trying to argue that it doesn't, simply that it's different. I did plenty of drifting in sim before doing it in real life.
@@DairyKing404 yeah i know what you mean but if you can drift with the limited feedback on sim, when you do it in a real car with all the feedback it'll be like drifting in HD, might take a short time to get used to it but if anything it'll be easier
@@niggo.e36But it ain’t gonna be the same most if not all of the community will stick to AC 1 because I don’t see AC 2 being as popular because AC 1 is still growing till this day and it’s a 10 year old game. Imagine having to install all your mods again fuck that cause I personally have close if not over 1tb of mods installed. It’s a no from me lad 👌
@@AstonishLogiicEdits yeah i understand your point of view. The perfect solution would be if there was a launcher that converts the mods from AC to AC2 but that's not possible because of the different game engines i guess. I‘m sure they will not let us down in this case
I only played sim car games my whole life. When i first got into a manual car i knew how to drive it without stalling. But everybody else who tried it that day stalled several times lol.
they literally had rhys tatterson whos the virtual sim drifting world campion drive Piotr Więcek’s irl s15 2021 championship winning formula drift car, that has to tell a lot!, sim drifting is no different then irl in my opinion and i am so happy to see sim drifters get behind the wheel of a nice car and whip it around on real tracks, that just completes the circle! great job shifter!
As someone who drives and drifts in real life, I veiw sim racing as actually much harder than irl because you get no imformation from the car or your environement. No brake feel, no clutch feel, no G force, no tire grip, or feeling of speed. With sim racing the only feeling you get is your steering wheel vibrating left or right and can make it much harder to learn than actual real driving imo
I don’t know how I got into drifting in real life playing assetto corsa and carx etc tried it in a real car after using the wheel setup and my hand placements were muscle memory from the game and did pretty good 👍🏻
From what I’ve found and heard is that sim helps you understand what to do and when to do certain things whilst drifting. It’s not 100% but it’s the closest one can get, and it’s so fun
It's literally the same thing, but without the consequences of crashing or tire replacement. We can see how much sim games help with an example of a plane pilot, they use sims quite frequently even though they are required to fill out a certain amount of real life flight time.
I’m gonna point this out now. Yes sun racing helps a hell of a lot with the basics and how to start or save a spin and drift however it is important to remember while it does help, drifting irl and in sun are very different and you should still learn how to do it irl by a professional.
its not the sim drifting, but excitement and eagerness to do it correctly... yes practice makes perfect but reality is that when you forget the part where you are willing to do it. then it will be perfect
Either way, the experience teaches you how to handle the wheel in chaotic situations and regain control and a wheel is a wheel, traction or no traction, Abs or not.
The best part is that you were managed to drift in a regular car too, not even any sort of tuned car or car setup for the occasion (could be wrong though, I don’t know the exact specs of that bimmer)
All I can say is I’ve been sim drifting for abt 2 years now and yesterday I did my first IRL 360 in my automatic Lexus is250. It handled just like assetto corsa it’s wild.
Games like carx are just for fun but even the easier games can teach you a lot about doing it fr, it’s just a fun way to spend ur time in my opinion and it builds skill.
People just talk nonsense, I used my sim heavily and still do before getting into it irl It’s actually helpful to start with a sim due to lack of G forces in simulation, when you transfer over to irl and get those forces it’s way easier irl once you know the basics & slightly more of how drifting works. But it’s all about chasing the never ending perfect run and that’s why drifting is so fun
Ignore anyone that says sim drifting doesn't translate to real life. F1 drivers use simulators, formula drift guys use simulators, it's legitimately the next best thing after hopping in a car on a closed track.
Ironically enough irl drifting is easier due to the information it gives you over just having a wheel setup. It's only ever risky because of the potential damage and physical danger.
I have had a sim for almost 6 months on my desk I finally could afford an e36 and the welded diff helps quite a bit but feels just like the sim confirmed✅
People don’t realize it but sim games are called sim games for a reason. You can learn a lot from them. The one thing that sim games don’t have is car feel, you can’t feel what the car is doing and what it might do next, but in real life you have that extra sense.
It depends on the game if you are playing realistic games that prioritize car physics you will learn but if you play too much arcade type physics it will be harder to learn thats why most people that start at carx will have a hard time at ac
The only thing you wont get from sim drifting is the feel of the whole car same with DCS but im pretty sure anyone who can pilot a plane in DCS could more or less get one in the air irl
it was kinda long time ago i think it was drift masters european and what it was that the person that won in the virtual version could drive petiors car since he won the irl version when the person drove ethe car petior said that the guy felt like he had been drifting for years
My old classmate had a drifter dad. You can even search him up, Giu Moretti. He started drifting on a G29 and then transfered to real life on a 350z. He already started connecting corners and doing insane drifts, just because of the simulator.. He went to important national competitions here in Brazil, but sadly some months ago he had a crash.. hes now playing beach tennis. He's the living proof that sim drifting DOES INFACT HELP in real life drifting
Even my homies cheap ass wheel feels damn good. Ppl who say this just havent used simulators before. Wheel physics have gotten to a point were they are beneficial for building muscle memory. Also just being able to learn certain limits of a car or track without spending much more money on real cars and racing at real tracks.
Same and i meet many guys who try asseto first time after drifting in frift car and everyone say its small diference and the bigest difeerence is we just dont feel the G force in ass 🤣
I am just surprised on how this is even legal and we're they git the money money afford 2 BMWS 2?!?!?!WERE DID YOU GET THE DAMN MONEY ay but mad respect keep going good job
