The Differences Between Drifting And Powersliding 

Joseph Yi What a *burn*!

*BURN* !

They forgot to mention one more technique - 4 wheel sliding (or whatever it is called). That is when entry speed is very big, so fronts are unable to turn the car and you have understeer, and then you slam throttle and turn the car with back wheels, while fronts are still turning where they were before. And then you gradually straighten up fronts (maybe tiny bit of opposite lock) and launch yourself out of the turn.60s F1 used to turn like that. They say Fanghio invented it.

please elaborate?

The Stig's German Cousin yup. but still 50% m2

1% : m2 powersliding 1% : m2 drifting 3% : interior cam 5% : drinking fanta 😉 90% : SUN IN YA FACE

*+ The Stig's German Cousin this guy doesn't know what hes talking about, to drift u need a locking differential, the m2 doesn't have one I think, it starts at m4*

yup sun in ya face

Club BMW AMG. Bullshit, you dont know what you are talking about, first of all you dont need a locking differential to drift. I've drifted many driftdays in my first car with an open diff before I welded it.its just harder and you need to make more use of your weightshifting. Second. The M2 computercontrolled limited slip diff is GREAT for drifting and is the same diff as the m3 and m4 have.

LA of LA or the power

Even a reliant robin?

LA of LA a bus?

LA of LA actually drifting is much more complicated and f*cking dangerous.Powersliding is much more undercontrol.

LA of LA for me i powerslide my v8 grand marquis every day it's easy Never wanted to drift.... Scary

Pro tip : *KANSEI DORIFTO?!*

Saber is love, Saber is life If you break the Tofu: YOU DIDN’T DRIFT. 😂

And don’t forget to beat everyone on the downhill with the water all in your cup and not breaking the tofu and delivering in time and that’s all that’s to it ;)

Pro tip: forget clutch or e break entries. sanpatsu and be are a real pro

Yeah because holding a camera is such hard work.

Quantum Leap you really have no idea what you’re talking about do you

Minder Maniac Yes

Yes, because a camera dash mount stand is so underpaid...

PVKLoL yup

Especially the decision to point the camera backwards onto the faces of driver/passenger when demonstrating driving technique... [/sarcasm]

@hero 7320 lol so true

Neel Parmar yea they do you can do it in the snow

Gabriel Hakes or in a BRZ on tarmac

brz??????

Uh.... Considering it can spin all fours, and do a donut on a dime.. Lol. Plus, ya know.... SNOW.

Neel Parmar the brz knows

Doggepp This isn't a tutorial, they are just Describing each method...

So what's the difference? "A tutorial is a method of transferring knowledge and may be used as a part of a learning process" - So it would have been better showing the actual stuff they did.

After all, this is in the discription "here’s a handy video guide!"

Guides aren't tutorials though, they are just explaining each method, not aiming to teach you.

Well - By telling us exactly how to perform one of the actions for 10 minutes, one would think that they might wanted to have visual representation of the techniques they were using. So that people might learn from it and see the difference.

Notice how he didnt come back to this coment its been 3 years guys he may be in coma

Ayo it’s been 3 years

Hello u alive bro.

I was in coma but now I am ready for my second try

@@CarsandEngines go for it

i always do a powerslide on racing games, a drift happens naturally in a corner but its not recommened since you do go about 25% slower and you wasted 6% of the back tires

I can "drift" with either a controller or a 180 degree steering wheel or while on dirt (Scandinavian flick usually), any other time I just do the powerslide as it's a lot easier

Car Of Doom a fwd can also imitate wheel spin, however I see power sliding as sliding after the turn. And drifting slidinh before the turn.

@@MJT-DA Yep, a drift is before and a powerslide is out of a corner

You can also powerslide an FWD if you go into nutral in the apex of a corner, i tried it couple of times and it works but i wont recommend doing it cause if you get it wrong well, you have no power to correct it and the brakes just gonna make it worst

Anoide Herrera true

Thanks now I don’t need to watch the video

Which one's better? Xd

@@zxxczczczcz ofc powersliding ;D

Bro drift it's not only have to do one thing bro. its just need what you learn after 1 week . that's all

HowtogetShrekt™ 👏👏👏

youre right actually. none of the shown techniques in the video are powersliding :D just handbrake, clutchkick and power over here

I saw a video of Keiichi Tsuchiya driving in the hills back when his AE86 had the Levin lights and he was doing what in this video was called a powerslide, so if it's a method used by him, then it must be some sort of drift

HowtogetShrekt™ Exactly. Hate when people call FF drifting "power sliding", I then proceed to ask them, how is it a power slide if no power is used to induce a said slide? So some either give me blank stare or go on about their pseudo knowledge of handling dynamics.

apexdna More like a handbrake turn lol

SiimpleHarry Never abused or red-lined. x-D

@@XxReactiveWeaponsxX 🤣 i know

A powerslide is a newbie drift basically. Because that’s what he did when he was too scared.

Make that twice

i thought tha same

If you're talking about the pros they also have cars set up to slide at the slightest provocation.

Nope. Sometimes when Keiichi drift,he also uses the handbrake.

If you have a locked differential, your car will always drift when you steer even slightly

@@boonamai8926 false. I daily a locked diff and its predictable in ways an open diff could never be.

@@yuskeurameshi1536 Ok try to drive a welded diff in heavy rain and try not to drift ^^ I meant welded, not just locked btw

soo if u drift that corner exactly like that bmw with like golf gti with handbrake it isnt a drift? (it probably cant do it as smooth as that bmw on dry tarmac but in snow i bet it can drift that corner just like it)

why the fwd hate mang? what did fwd do to you?

Well you initiate the slide before the corner so technically it somewhat is

Darko Petreski gave me aids

Shitty tires + dirt road. Pull the handbrake, let it off and drift. :D

Aws baaaby

I was doing that before I liked racing games and back when I was a kid before ever driving. There's just something about it lol

Hey i got it right

Totally

Lmfaooo

NEx HD yes it is.....a bit heavy but still yes

an old one like the 240/740/940 are great for it.

they're fucking awesome for it, I have a 740 and can confirm

yeah very good, watch drifts n lifts

Musarat Anees , a wise man once said: Evo's are red, Subies are blue Both go BRRAAAAP STUTUTUTU!

Godzilla this video doesn’t even make any sense though, because the apex of a turn is where you start reducing steering lock and unless you’re chaining drifts (left side drift to right side drift or vica versa) the apex can be in any number of places. A similar definition to this is the closest spot to the interior of a corner, and while drifting, your simulated steering lock (lateral force) on the car is usually modulated to maintain control and can be lowered or raised at any point. Initiation of a drift is usually at the apex, for safety, having your rears slide out usually means that your car comes closer to the edge of the track, both by sliding and the fact that your rear swings to the side, but it can be initiated anywhere if you’re skilled enough, same with power slides, anywhere, but sliding into the interior of the corner is way more likely lol.

TL;DR Drifting is a controlled slide where the back wheels lose traction, power sliding is using power to initiate a slide where the back wheels lose traction. When power sliding you can drift, or you can just power slide, it depends on if you control it after the initiation of the slide.

Another thing I just realised thanks to you. They probably think drifting is before the apex, because the setup to initiate the slide is before the apex, so you can start sliding the moment you pass the apex.

gizmodo baggins yesss this is what i meant, i appreciate your comments even if it's three years later

His powerslides are absurd.

@@mrskyler44 I don't even remember what this was about

i was drifting/powersliding/rearsteering a vw beetle with only 40 hp and engine in the back very easy and succsessfully. i imagine a mid engine is nearly as helpful as a back engine for this activity.

@@TheHolan easy to spin because there is car has less inertia due to mass distribution being closer to the axis of rotation with mid engine vs front/rear engine

Luis Madero Yes because _every_ young person that drives a Civic is a ricer.. When will that stupid fucking generalisation end.. Hondas are good cars man, stop living with your bullshit Internet ignorance, most people who own civics just lower them and straight pipe their exhaust. Not exactly a ricer.

Shona apparently someone couldnt take a joke

Luis Madero It's a joke the first few times.. But when it's a constant comparison made between civic drivers and ricers, it just borders on sheer ignorance.

Shona shut it you drive a lawnmower

The PC Enthusiast yeah I think the same thing too

Why

@@stuccobro to look more "gangsta" obviously

Reflekks Thanks fam

I like to think the difference is one is quicker than the other. drift is more of a showing off thing and power sliding would be like what rally drivers do to come out of the corner in a straight line

you're the closest I've seen here. From what i hear both in forums and during the event at road Atlanta, drifting and power-sliding are identical, the difference being the inputs. Drifting is what rwd cars have to do, the car requires a lot more control from throttle and brakes. Power-sliding is what AWD cars do. They can throw it in and keep it pinned and it almost "autopilots" compared to rwd. You can see it in rally racing and gymkhana videos where the AWD cars require far less counter steering to maintain the slide but in DRIFT cars youll see much more counter steer, so much so that drift knuckles are installed to get that much more control out of it. Of course steering isn't all there is, but power-sliding an AWD car is more forgiving than drifting in a RWD. If you tried to throw a RWD car around like Ken Block does you'd spin out repeatedly, there's no power train cushion to help you out. Still, to do either takes practice.

Drifting is and art form in driving, this is getting complicated and sciencey, that’s why I still don’t understand

Juice get roasted lol you idiot

Well said i need my 9:52 seconds back 😂
