  • Car drifting is both a pastime and profession. For hobbyists and professionals, the basic principles of drifting are the same. Toss the car sideways and hang on. We wanted to take a deeper look into the activity. We asked Leona Chin, a professional motorsports athlete, physics-afficianado, and "The Queen of Drift" for a break down of the science concepts behind getting a car to slide sideways on the track.

    3:51 an addition to this: u dont need actually to know how much angle u need to turn the wheel... they follow how much throttle u give starting the moment back tyres starts to slide (as soon as u feel the slide, u let go the wheel, it will follow the drift direction, u control how fast it turn by throttle, and u catch the wheel if u want to keep that angle).
    You can see her wheel in 3:28 turn fast...thats what im talking about.

    @DavidGossettMusic 4 года назад +3

    Ummmmm... This is a really bad explanation of drifting. No mention of oversteer (or understeer for that matter), just straight into "drifting is caused by going too fast." Going too fast into a corner can cause oversteer (a slide), understeer (the car won't turn), etc. Drifting is about controlled oversteer, basically causing the rear tires to lose grip while keeping grip at the front. A lot more goes into it than "going too fast." Actually, using the E brake causes oversteer by the rear tires going too slowly in comparison to the cars speed.

    A nice intro but the physics diagrams are way off. The rear tires should not be causing the back of the car to accelerate sideways. Friction only works to resist motion, and the rear tires sure aren't turning sideways.

    My question is how are you gonna turn the car after cause as far as I know so gotta counter steer for a while before it finally turns and in racing games that have good simulation like gran turismo and Forza that’s my biggest problem in

      What do you mean? Transition the car into the opposite drifting direction?

    Really are drifting helpful on corners!?😅😅I think a power slide may be good for a fast turning.

      If you're driving on loose terrain, yes. This is why rally drivers drift in corners, especially hairpins.
