Honestly one of the biggest reasons I want to learn how to drift other than how fun it is is that I feel like it really improves your every day driving, most people if they end up sideways when they didn't want to be they panic and end up over correcting and crashing but if you spent all your time sideways anyway you don't panic and you know exactly how to ride it out, same for the snow or the rain you do t panic when things go wrong

You adjusted the mirror because its natural to look for cops after doing donuts.

[shobin]

it's so refreshing to see a drift video of car journalists actually failing multiple times before getting it right I've seen so many drift videos where the car journalists could get it right like within the first try because they're either already good at it or they just cut out all the times they failed.

“Hard left, rev the motor dump the clutch” and that’s how I almost died

[christophercordasco]

This should be a prerequisite for all mustang drivers

Lesson #1 Make sure you have a good paying job.

"Different version of a donut, that's all it is"

"Ok, bearclaw?"

Perfect response.

[BallisticTech]

Holy crap. A video about learning to drift (or do anything Motorsports related) that actually teaches you how to drift.

This isn't just an advert for the drift school. And subsequently it's the best advert for the drift school....

[kenji]

I learned to drift when I was watching cars with my little sister, I went to my first event all I could think was "Right to go left"

[ThierryTheuns]

The cars are beat up, destroyed etc. but I love the way they look. Drift missiles are the best.

Actually on topic:
Seeing the hosts progress is really cool.

[RedHazeBand]

Tokyo Drift had the theory down. Its not skill. Its feeling. Feel the car, be its guide, and let the beast live free.

[turbos]

For anyone trying to drift it’s a lot more easier for beginners, is to do it on a wet surface and it’s so much better for the tires. When I bought my M5 they gave me a 2 days at BMW Performance Driving School in Thermal .
One day on the track and one day drifting and power sliding.
Now that as fun !!!!

[dellanowhite]

Asian guy looks like a drift fashionista.

[ragequitter]

Thanks for this video. I have social anxiety and wanted to see what to expect at drift school. I’m going but am super nervous about having an audience. This video shows you every step of the way which was exactly what I was looking for. Perfect!

[garyg]

chrisfix should have taken these lessons. he would have done well with some theory and lessons on his toolbelt

[nchoonigan]

The initial instinct to correct the slide is one of the most difficult hurdles to overcome when learning to drift, or at least the first major one. Once you've spun out a few times at speed though, and you realize you're not dead, then it becomes easier. Would've liked to have seen some second gear stuff, still a good video though, maybe next time!

*oh what a noob. I could do this the first time i got in a car*
And
*can i do this in my "insert fwd car here"?*

Im a 16 year old who just got my license and I can hold consistent figure 8s. The reason im saying this is because sims, such as gran turismo, and watching a ton of youtube are never considered legitimate strategies to learn something, well they’ve worked for me. Same situation with airsoft and real steel shooting.

[pballer]

I used to take my buddies quad and do figure 8's and little drift courses like this around trees and try to stay sideways as much of the time I could. I know it's not a car drifting but man I could do it all day long it was such a blast. This looks like so much fun.

After trying to learn to drift for a month (an two sets of tires) i learned how to drift in 20 minutes using a sim (iRacing), and it translated 99% back to the parking lots. From that day on, when I wanted to learn a new drifting trick, I went right to the sim first. I save a lot of money, time and risk. I can flick or transfer into a drift in almost any car, condition or situation thanks to sim racing.
