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.
*+ 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*
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.
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 ;)
A powerslide is pretty much what you do when you first get your license and you have a car with a open diff, so you powerslide out of your favourite corners at night coming home from work because you're too scared to get sideways before the corner :')
Since this is a tutorial after all, some additional footage of the footwork and handwork with the e-brake would probably have been better than having him do the same thing 50 times in a row. A lot of people probably dont even know what a clutch kick is. It is a lot easier to learn when you have visual evidence rather than someone just telling you how to do it.
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.
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.
Pull the hand brake, and accelerate = Drift Slam the accelerator into the corner and hope you don't die = Powerslide 😂😂 I'm probably incorrect, I'm waiting to be corrected
Here's an accurate statement that answers it quickly: Drifting is the general term for a slide in a car around a corner. It also refers to a kind of judged motorsport where people drift for show. A powerslide is a very basic drifting technique in which a RWD or heavily biased 4WD car slides using wheelspin to initiate the drift.
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
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
Someone explained to me that true drifting is controlling your car when it's just beyond the limits of grip. Basically racing your car just past the point where your tires are still gripping. Controlling the slip past the limits is drifting. Whereas powersliding relies more on the engine than inertia to induce that same slip.
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.
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)
this guy is great, ive always wondered why my clutch kicks were sloppy. i was pushing the clutch in, revving up, and then dumping. but the way he was doing it seems way better
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.
That's the difference, what's equal in both types is how they are SLOW in comparison to real track racing when braking and power are the least wasted spinning or sliding or blocking the wheels. Thanks for proving the point
I'd like to see more people talk about lift-off oversteer to initiate a drift. its pretty useful, but is pretty critically different in how you control it.
Drifting: "A driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control for the entirety of a corner." Powersliding: "A throttle-on induced oversteer. Initiating a drift (oversteer) by applying the throttle in a turn enough to make the rear wheels break traction and slide out" So it's pretty simple really. All powerslides (provided you stay in control) are drifts, but not all drifts are powerslides (kinda like ducks and birds).
I have to disagree with the polarities proposed here. A powerslide is a means of INITIATING a drift. Technical definitions of drift range from intentional controlled oversteer to "intentional controlled oversteer throughout an entire corner." Well if a powerslide allows one to take an entire corner sideways (potentially an adjacent corner) it would meet the definition REGARDLESS of which you want to choose. A similar means of drift initiation is the braking drift initiation. In which one (basically) initiates a powerslide at the entry of the corner by loading up the front tires under heavy braking before turning in sharply and giving throttle. Keichi Tsuchiya (the drift king) has plenty of helpful videos on all of this.
When it has more grip it start to rotate more violently, especially with an lsd. On the snow it’s much easier. For the poweslide you use the brakes a little while turning and release them gradually. By braking you shift the weight forward and the front tires get more grip, the rear becomes loose, but if you brake too hard, the available grip is lost for braking the car and you won’t be able to steer. So there is a sweet spot for the fastest turn in. However if there is too much grip (for example with a front wing set up for high downforce) the turn it may be too fast and it will have the tendency to spin out of control. You may think the heavy front cars (fwd usually) will turn in better based on this logic but it’s in fact the opposite. The fwd load front the tires more reducing the grip a bit. The front tires have more grip because of weight but that is compensated by more mass in the front, whereas with weight transfer the mass of the front remains the same so the car pushes down on the wheels but the mass that produces the centrifugal force doesn’t change
Power sliding is drifting whereas drifting is not necessarily powersliding Drifting consists in going further than the grip limit of the tires, which results in your car "drifting" Power sliding is sliding the vehicule using the engine's strength Esliding is sliding it by using the e-brake Many other techniques can have you going sideways Drifting is the art of using and mastering all these techniques Therefore, rally masters are potential drifting super-sayians
Great vid. Didn't know the difference before. Drifting looks epic, don't get me wrong, but I reckon the power sliding looks more subtle and elegant. Less of a "look at me!!!" attention seeking move.
You know it's impossible to understand it when even the automatically generated captions say "the Florida" instead of "the tires", plus it's an amazing video, keep it that way
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
So call me old but what do you think they called drifting before it was drifting? It's called setting up for the corner, and setup can be in many ways. loose, clean, slow in fast out etc. Just because the sport and word has become popular doesn't mean that's what its called. look up Scandinavian flick for some 'drifting' examples from 50s rallying. left foot braking, clutching, handbrake turns etc. been around form decades but apparently now setting up for a corner in a loose manner is called drifting. Troll away.
Drifting: Like taking a big corner but letting the rear swing alot Powersliding: Basically launching out of a corner while your rear swings a little bit
Ok, so everyone has a weird interpretation that powersliding and drifting are different, but not really. You see, I've actually talked with people who drift, went to japan, and actually talked to Keiichi Tsuchiya, what they say is that a powerslide is a "drift located at the exit of a corner." You feel the strong understeer so you gas it and the speed makes you lose traction as the front of your car points towards the exit. So, is it the same as a regular drift? No, a drift is steering into a corner then countersteering to hold the angle. A powerslide is steering out of a corner and countersteering so the car doesn't keep going.
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.
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.
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.
The real difference: Powersliding: the car accelerates(!) while loosing grip at the back tires... Drifting: going sideways, and the car does not accelerate, you just control with the gas pedal...
Step 1. Create a video specifically to highlight how powersliding and drifting are two completely different things. Step 2. At 50 seconds, demonstrate a powerslide, saying "and that was a bit of a powerslide" then 8 seconds later proceed to describe it as a drift ("have a full opposite lock drift")...
Power Over. This is performed when entering a corner and using full throttle to produce heavy oversteer through the turn. ... E-Brake ( hand brake) Drift. ... Clutch Kick. ... Shift Lock Drift. ... Dirt Drop Drift. ... Feint Drift. ... Jump Drift. ... Braking Drift.
Powerslide: slamming the gas while exiting a turn can cause loose traction makeing your cars tail end slide-out words. Drifting: forcing your car to oversteer as you enter a turn with perfect throttle control and steering.
i hate it when people say that you can only powerslide fwd, you can't drift them, which is the opposite, you cannot powerslide a fwd because the car will straighten out immediately, you can only drift them. the terms "drift" and "powerslide" seem to have switched since competitive drifting took over, but i guess it's only fair, after all "formula powerslide" doesn't have the same punch
Drifting is what you think you're doing when you're power sliding
Joseph Yi What a *burn*!

Editor: How many same shots of the same power slide do you want to use?
Car throttle: Yes
I can powerslide my 2002 Toyota 4 runner now. Thanks guys!
I laugh when he said, "take to the track." You mean street.
zomski101 Do you think you're hot shit do you?
*Newsflash* You're not.. You're just a piece of shit.
wow easy there cowboy

@@mrskyler44 I don't even remember what this was about
So call me old but what do you think they called drifting before it was drifting? It's called setting up for the corner, and setup can be in many ways. loose, clean, slow in fast out etc. Just because the sport and word has become popular doesn't mean that's what its called. look up Scandinavian flick for some 'drifting' examples from 50s rallying. left foot braking, clutching, handbrake turns etc. been around form decades but apparently now setting up for a corner in a loose manner is called drifting. Troll away.
Drifting:
Like taking a big corner but letting the rear swing alot
Powersliding: Basically launching out of a corner while your rear swings a little bit
Ive been laughing all day. A lot of people on my snapchats are like "boutta go drifting" then i see them do a little shitty powerslide LOL
need a m2 in my life so badly. much want.
more drifting...u should test out e46 m3 and e39 m5...i wanna see those old cars without turbos and shit....
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!
Ok, so everyone has a weird interpretation that powersliding and drifting are different, but not really. You see, I've actually talked with people who drift, went to japan, and actually talked to Keiichi Tsuchiya, what they say is that a powerslide is a "drift located at the exit of a corner." You feel the strong understeer so you gas it and the speed makes you lose traction as the front of your car points towards the exit. So, is it the same as a regular drift? No, a drift is steering into a corner then countersteering to hold the angle. A powerslide is steering out of a corner and countersteering so the car doesn't keep going.

XCristi for 600 get better
200 nothings? Wow that's cheap.
It would break before even filming it
all ricers/Young civic drivers need this video
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
Only problem with this video is its not long enough, could watch this BM go round all day
You have been teasing me with this at the end of every episode for what seems like forever
Next challenge: reverse-entry drifts
And the answer is nothing
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 😂
The real difference:
Powersliding: the car accelerates(!) while loosing grip at the back tires...
Drifting: going sideways, and the car does not accelerate, you just control with the gas pedal...
This vid just burnt my eyes all the way through. Not just the car which is lit af, but the sun in the backround.....
He needs to tint his windows
The PC Enthusiast yeah I think the same thing too
Why
@@stuccobro to look more "gangsta" obviously
Use of the hand brake to drift with an M2 ?! you are doing in the wrong way
Alex Gassman=complete badass
Great work, simple explanations - good stuff! Thanks!
braking drift? domyou guys at car thotle even know what is a braking drift
trying to learn drift from RUclips is like trying to be a goodpresident while you are Trump its uslless
Self Made That was so funny. I cannot stop laughing. So original.
I may be able to do that. But not a single word will come ou of my mouth.
He explains everything while doing it. Simply awesome!
the screech of the tires is so satisfying
Step 1. Create a video specifically to highlight how powersliding and drifting are two completely different things.
Step 2. At 50 seconds, demonstrate a powerslide, saying "and that was a bit of a powerslide" then 8 seconds later proceed to describe it as a drift ("have a full opposite lock drift")...
2:06 AHHHH IVE BEEN BLINDED
Power Over. This is performed when entering a corner and using full throttle to produce heavy oversteer through the turn. ... E-Brake ( hand brake) Drift. ... Clutch Kick. ... Shift Lock Drift. ... Dirt Drop Drift. ... Feint Drift. ... Jump Drift. ... Braking Drift.
And no talk about the Scandiavian Flick/Swedish Turn... Bit of a shame i might think.
holy shit two uploads from car throttle !
Powerslide: slamming the gas while exiting a turn can cause loose traction makeing your cars tail end slide-out words.
Drifting: forcing your car to oversteer as you enter a turn with perfect throttle control and steering.
i hate it when people say that you can only powerslide fwd, you can't drift them, which is the opposite, you cannot powerslide a fwd because the car will straighten out immediately, you can only drift them. the terms "drift" and "powerslide" seem to have switched since competitive drifting took over, but i guess it's only fair, after all "formula powerslide" doesn't have the same punch
That awkward handshake at 8:05 😂
The face alex makes when drifting is priceless 😂😂
Drift = Elegant slide plenty of smoke.
Powerslide = Wet road, front wheel drive, 90degree angle, curb, roof, runaway!
finally after all the wait.
And right to the shop for a new clutch after this.
