Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

You want to give it a lot of gas when you do the sudden turn so that you lose grip and start the sliding, the best way to practice is in a big flat empty parking lot and set up cones to drift around. Then you are less likely to damage your car on obstacles.

From what i have seen from foot cam video it is mosrly clutch work. Stay on gas and feathering clutch in and out to control the grip

Is it ever faster to drift around a corner?

Because when I was a kid playing burnout I thought it was always faster to drift around the corner. But replaying it now heavy breaking and accelerating through the curve is faster.

In Mario Kart it's faster. You get them lil' sparks on your wheels.

Drifting on a loose surface (gravel, sand, snow) is faster (see scandiflick/finnishflick).

On asphalt is faster to not drift.

Oh yea. Thanks for the info

Drifting is slower in almost every case. Fastest way through a turn depends on the turn and surrounding road, as well as your car's handling and drivetrain

If your tires don't have traction you are losing potential acceleration. Hairpins on loose surface are a slightly different situation, the Rally driver uses the lack of traction to aim the car ready for acceleration out of corner, keeping the engine revs up in the power/torque zone so there is no bogging down like there would be with full braking, then starting

It's so simple in Mariokart.
