Clear, concise and very well articulated. Without a doubt the best tutorial I’ve seen for drifting. Thank you. 🙏🏼

[Stoner_Jesus]

This is incredible. I drift all day in gta and this is the smoothest drifting I’ve ever seen hands down! Wow bro

[MajinIKE]

"Seeing lines" is usually a good Indicator that the person is knowledgeable of drift culture... well done, quality stuff

[nokyo]

this video itself and your channel in general is all anyone needs to go from newbie to someone in the drift world, as long as your passionate about it and keep practicing

[lance]

been trying to convince my friends to go drifting with me ever since tuner shop came out and never could, i showed them this video when it came out and weve been cranking out runs at the observatory every night since, now they wanna learn how to tandem. ty <3

[magilas]

Legit couldnt understand the other tutorials in youtube. I know the idea but their visuals and instructions werent clicking, until this one. Thanks!

Edit: the fact that your marks are so consistent is also cool lol

[jaidynyounger]

This is the exact vid I need u telling all the details how to build a car for drift settings sir u just earned a new sub

[TripleEightss]

easily the best drifting tutorial for gta. u earned a sub bro✌️

[ienvy_kuro]

great job on making this, the combination of starting out with the bare basics, then combining them as you progress really help. The only thing I never really had much practice in was donut proximity, when going into pro levels, I did do more of proximity for hitting clipping points and outer zones, but not anything with donuts. I will definitely have to work on that.

Also, for steering input, I learned this a long time ago when I myself was learning. There is a method in steering that I use that I rarely see anyone use. I call it the Rolling Technique, where I am using the outer barrier of the stick and rolling it along the outer ring to steer. This helped me really get into the more precise steering, allowing me to make small steering changes while still doing extreme movements instead of slightly turning in either direction at small increments (tbh this is really more useful for getting clean and realistic steering for cinematics just because I hate the visual look of spamming left and right. Better to have slight turns and only change it in extreme cases to look better than to go function only and spam.)

Looking forward to what you do with intermediate and pro levels of drifting. I hope you bring tandem into play cuz I never see anyone doing tutorials on tandem, and everyone I drift with can't seem to do it...tandem well anyway.

[rustico]

Thank you so much for this, I’ve been looking forward to practicing drifting and this tutorial came in clutch. Amazingly explained and filmed, kudos to you sir, you earned a new sub.👍👏

[djm.o.d.]

hands down the BEST tutorial for drifting in GTAOnline, you not only earned my like, and my subscribe, but my respect too. Glad to have found a top notch creator, and can't wait for the next video!

As a ps4 player and a carx and assetto player that has been playing proffesional drift events in those 2 games these tips helped me out and also CONTROL YOUR SPEED never floor it if u want to go for a clean angle that will make you spin out and u need to be out for heavy feedback by your controller the heavy feedback is a upshift so be on the lookout

[Issachar]

If there is a video to watch on how to in the game .. this is it. Perfectly made👌

[badredZZ]

Thank u for this all in one foundational knowledge, God bless

[fxckoff]

[breggsu]
