Build Tandem confidence stress-free with a Ghost Car

No internet? Slow PC? Nervous in multiplayer? Learn how to tandem without the stress using this tactic.

Drift Techniques, Behind The Scenes, and Bonus Content Inside!

One of the number one comments I hear when it comes to my sim drift livestreams is "I'm not good enough yet and don't want to get in everyone's way." Learning the basics of tandem drifting is already stressful enough, you don't have to do it on a crowded online server full of rippers who give you imposter syndrome.

While I think it's fine to learn that way, I know not everyone can, or even wants to, so I put together this video to show you a way to build confidence and tandem proximity without having to worry about wrecking the train of experienced drivers you'd otherwise be sharing the track with.

This is also a great approach for users who don't have fast internet or who's PC gives the dreaded 99% CPU occupancy message any time the smoke starts rolling in online lobbies. Use your ghost car in Assetto Corsa to practice the basics of tandem drifting before you jump online for the first time, or to get in sync with a friend with your schedules don't always line up. Last but not least, you can share a ghost file with someone else to teach them the proper line through a track!

IMPORTANT TIP if anyone is doing this with WDTS or any car packs in general. I highly recommend heating up your tyres to orange/red level before recording your ghost lap. Why? Because you will get gapped by your ghost as soon as your tyres begin to heat up. So here's what you should do.

1. Turn on penalties (when setting up the ghost lap)
2. Turn on the 'Tyre Temperature' in game
3. Heat up your tyres by doing a burnout in the pit OR do a couple of practice lap around the track but make sure you drive off the course before the finish line
4. Once your tyres are in ideal temperature (orange or red) begin recording your ghost lap

I've been doing this for a while now and it has definitely improved my chasing skills over the past couple of months.

I did this the hard way lol. I tandem'd with better drivers, pissed them off, got banned, in every which way. It forced me to become a really good driver with no mistakes. I would've loved to learn this way. Subscribed cause there is always something new to learn!

[ZachNCheese]

Hope we’re doing well Kame! Still enjoy coming back to drift videos even though I don’t do it much these days, cheers.

[LkORiUONG.]

Kame Trick always hitting us with very clear and straight to the point content with very useful/pro tips to get everyone up to speed.. 🙇🏽‍♂️🙇🏽‍♂️🙇🏽‍♂️💯

Thank you Kame Trick for you are the reason why I got into sim drifting. Thank you🤧

[definitely_not_sevy]

Honestly wish i found you sooner when i was starting sim drifting and skip some of the trial and error. Im pretty sure you could start a drift school of some sort or like coaching since youre super informative. hope this channel blows up

Ben, I’m a long time lurker (subscribed tho!), 2 year sim drifter, and only done occasional silly slides in my actual car. Your tips have helped my sim driving tremendously, and I loved your quote where you basically said “to chase close, you need to be able to predict what the lead car is going to do.” It’s exactly what is so fun to me. I will follow players regardless of where they go and I take it as a teaching lesson. My goal is to never hit anyone using all of the different tactics I have learned from you. It is funny when they apologize and all I say is, I chase you wherever you go! I take it as a challenge. Thank you Ben for giving genuinely helpful tips in both real life and the simulator. I will be eagerly waiting for the next upload.

Thanks for your video and your advices, Kame 👍 It would be nice if the ghost car had its own shadow under the car, to avoid see it floating and flying around the circuit like an arcade spaceship. It also would be great if the ghost car had its own on-board cameras and we being able to see the ghost car in the replay.

Hey Ben, I just wanted to really thank you for putting this info out here. I would have never thought to do this on my own, and using this method is giving me the confidence to start tandem at the local track irl. This has been invaluable to me as a training tool and also breathes some life into assetto again, as I was bored with the tracks used in the public servers and the rig was gettin dusty. I really hope you have been in better health and are taking care. Looking forward to the next online matsuri🤙 -Trey

This is the coolest YT channel on the internet 😅

[petbone]

This helped a lot for people like me embarrassed to door slam others thanks!

[Drifts]

I loved the 10mm socket line lmao. Great video Kame, keep up the great work.

[I_LIKE_TATERZ]

Kame just has every answer to every question I have. Major reason why I've gotten as far as I have in sim drifting💜

[nikhilrw]

This is brilliant Ben!! Wanted this for a while. Thank you soo much.

[checktheback]

This is by far the best Assetto Corsa channel on Youtube.

[TheRUSTchronicles]

Thank you Kame trick! You put a lot of efforts into your video's and it shows. This is 🔥🔥🔥 I am jumping on my rig to go try this is so cool!

[neonnerd]

Great video. I've really been wanting to learn tandems but don't wanna get in everyone's way or anything since I only have about 15 hours in assetto corsa at the moment.

[kawaiirunnersdriftclub]

I was having some trouble because the ghost wasnt showing... I think it solved itself by restarting my computer! Amazing video!!!

[BossTheStampede]

Any chance you can share some ghost/hot laps too? It would be cool to have a repository of other drivers to tandem with different ghosts

[Jenglotto]

Could you recommend more drift tracks that have a complete lap? Osaka Sideways track for example, did not create a ghost car for me but kunos official tracks can. Thanks for the vid!
