How to Drift
Whether you’re a beginner or looking to improve your drifting skills, this guide will walk you through the essential steps to perform impressive drifts.
Start with a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) car as they are generally easier to drift.
Look for cars with a balanced weight distribution and moderate power, as extremely powerful cars can be more challenging to control.
Customize your car’s setup to improve drifting performance. Adjust your suspension, tire pressures, and differential settings.
Experiment with different setups to find the one that suits your style.
Disable or reduce traction control and stability control. These systems can interfere with your drifting control. You’ll have more freedom to slide the car without these aids.
Select a track with a variety of corners and open spaces, like a dedicated drift course or a track with hairpin turns and wide corners.
Before attempting complex drifts, practice basic techniques such as controlled slides and maintaining throttle control.
Learn to steer, counter-steer, and modulate the throttle to control the slide.
Use the handbrake to initiate a drift in tight corners.
Approach the corner at a moderate speed, then pull the handbrake to induce oversteer.
This technique involves suddenly releasing the clutch while applying throttle to shift weight and initiate a drift.
It’s crucial to practice clutch kicking to maintain control.
Understand the concept of weight transfer. Shifting the car’s weight to the rear while initiating a drift helps maintain control.
Apply throttle and steer into the direction of the drift to balance the car’s weight.
Use this technique to transition into a drift while entering a corner.
Turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction before quickly steering into the corner, shifting the car’s weight and initiating a drift.
Practice maintaining the correct drift line. The ideal drift line should be smooth and close to the racing line.
Keep your car under control and avoid spinning out.
Drifting is an art that requires time and practice to master.
Start with slower, less powerful cars and gradually progress to more challenging vehicles.
Record your drifting sessions and analyze your performance. Identify areas where you can improve and refine your techniques.
Join online forums and communities where you can learn from experienced drifters and share your experiences.
Watch video tutorials and learn from other players’ techniques.
Assetto Corsa has a vibrant modding community. Explore and try out different drift tracks and cars created by the community.
Remember that drifting in a virtual world is different from real-life drifting. In reality, safety should be your top priority.
With consistent practice and patience, you can become a skilled drifter in Assetto Corsa. Experiment with different techniques and car setups to find your unique drifting style. Enjoy the thrill of sliding through corners and perfecting your drifting skills in this exciting racing simulation game.
