Instructional videos on drifting are my favorite. Clutch kicking and left foot braking are hard to describe in terms of re-positioning the car, without the listener actually experiencing it first hand, nice job.
Appreciate the feedback!
Thank you to all the sponsors! Money well spent car looks and GOES amazing. Love this tyoe of video! Thx Nate
x2!!!
Love your new analysing videos! I would like to know more about mindset in tandem. How to avoid crashes, how to collaborate with the other driver and help each other to drive closer to each other and build confidence in each other.
Noted!
The fact that this is free is crazy
All day dude! Just hit that Sub button and it's all worth it!
Such a great drive for your first competition in the GR. Excellent job dude.
Very Proud / Very proud to be working with ya!
I love that your first event in the gr was almost the same results as your first event in your 240 back at English town
Only a few know about that alignment dude. Holy shit thats cool you caught that!
@@144.natehamilton A1 since day 1!
Driver’s Education! Love the series haha great to hear about the mindset during drift and reflection
absolutely. More on the way!
Good info! I find myself using that “clutch modulation” technique as well, in situations I don’t want to completely lift but I need to “float” the car for a split second.
Yes sir. You are locked in dude!
So good to watch these and hear you explain the play by play of what went through your head and share tips
Thanks for tuning in!
I’m a sucker for anything drifting especially educational. And this is great! Looking forward to more of these 🫡🫡

Hey Nate, I'm new to drifting and I would definitely like to learn more about proper alignment, camber, and also the difference in low and high tire pressure.
Also you did amazing at the LZ Tour, definitely can't wait to see more!
Noted, I'll give some thought on what I could share to bring value to alignment info!
Alignment and tire pressures for low power vs high power, competition settings, front vs rear, etc. I think that would be super helpful.
Thank you
Noted!
I freaking love this format ❤️.
Appreciate you for watching.
Love those videos Nate! I would really like to see some tips and tricks for tandem drifting. How to follow a slower or less gripped up car. Or how to be on the door of the lead car and how\when to back up in time for the transition.
Noted!
ngl, really diggin these informational. all i can do is sim drift, but ive noticed that left foot braking often angles my car up so i can get in the door and regulate that angle. (at least for me) would love to see the foot cam side by side with the race footage too, great vid!
That's right dude, most times in real life Left Foot Break will add angle to whatever line you are on! You are on it!!!
Man I need a clutch pedal and E-brake put in the Gato stat! 😅 Great video bro it's soooo much to absorb but I think your really helping people who are drifting or want to be in a better position for success with this series 🙌🙌💯💯😎
Good to hear it, thanks for tuning in.
I learned to drift with a nitrious single cam. It taught me how to get to limiter then drop clutch. I often am heel toeing the gas pedal to the floor on entry as I adjust the front with the break. Anyways... I now have a vq35hr in my car, I run enough grip that it can just hardly spin the wheels at lower rpm. This is a must for me, I will never build a car that can light off from low rpm. That limiter clutch drop is one of my favorite things in drifting.
Also, awesome video once again. I would love to see a detailed break down comparing the 240 to the 86. How the chassis are different and drivetrains, also even the quility of build from 20 years of rnd.
I think a lot of s chassis guys are interested in the 86 as something that mighr handle similarly.
Staytuned for the V8 vs 2J video on the way! This should be exacty what you are looking for! p
Thank you so so much. Your videos have been extremely helpful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm glad dude!
Sharing the knowledge 👏🏻
Doing what I can to help!
They way you think about driving is so different than how I think about driving. That's so interesting
Tell me more!
Great info!!!
Definitely gotta give thecutch slipping more of a try this year. Ive gotten lazy with my C6 falling back on the LS torque. Tandem video would be cool at where to aim and such and when. My other terrible habit is aiming at the rear quarter of the lead car. Makes for some real doodoo tandems of me chasing constantly 😢. Keep it up!!!!
Yeah buddy, you gotta look where ya wana be!
Quick story: I remember at Seattle FD.. Trying to link that whole first turn.. I ended up asking Chris Forsberg for some advise... He asked me "are you looking out your front window?" I was like.. duh yeah man we gotta look out those! He then said... "look out your doors window and stare at the wall." Just moving my eyes out the window vs the front windshield made all the difference. Just thought I would share.. we gotta look where we wana be!
Nate Hamilton Helping put Bakersfield on the Drift Map. Let’s Go!!!!!
So awesome to meet your dad at the race. Hopefully I can get a picture at the next event.
Love informational videos like these.
The way you describe how the drivetrain is loaded up when you’re on full throttle before releasing the clutch is kinda how I drive my “low power” car. I grip it up so as much as I can so that I can get as much speed as I can out of it. But many times it’s gripped to the point to where I need to be full throttle before I release the clutch or else she’ll bog a bit.
Please keep them coming!
That's great practice loading the car up, keep that up!
love these videos! sick driving at the world tour!
The WT was an epic start. I enjoyed driving the GR86 so much!
I would love to hear about the mindset over the course of a competition weekend. How you approach practice, how you approach quali ect but super in depth. Great video!
Noted, I think that could be real cool to be honest.
Thanks Nate for featuring my question! I'll definitely put your advise to use next time I'm at the track.
Let me know how it goes dude!
As far as battles go my favorite is you and Collette. Her car seemed like it was so consistent and dialed in throughout the whole weekend.
Yeah man, she drove great!
@@144.natehamilton don’t sell your self short you drove amazing an after watching this video and seeing that it was literally your first comp with the car. 4th place is KILLER. Great Job Nate.
I'm digging it, keep going! could you talk about hand braking vs flick, not sure if I/m saying that correctly?
Yeah buddy. That's a great point! Noted!
So much more pedal dance with a turbo car oppose to the v8 but your getting it naturally!
So true!!!
Love the videos, great info. Could you cover visual cues. I find myself always target fixating in zones and I feel like I am always too late on looking towards my next zone/clip. Any tips on getting better/faster at switching between visual cues?
Yes sir, I can elaborate for sure!
If you hit the track before I get to make another video .. just remember "Look where you want to go" and "look ahead" once you have made it into a zone, you need to then move your focus AHEAD. I know it's easier typed out than in reality. But you gotta train yourself to look ahead.
Once you download that enough I bet you pick it up super easy.
Setup video for suspension and explanation would be awesome! I'm doing my first grassroots comp series this year and keeping up with higher hp cars can be a struggle without a proper suspension understanding. Also... n e r v e s at the line. How do you get out of the anxiety waiting for your battle?!
I got you on the setup info. I will make sure to note and talk about it asap.
As for the nerves at the line... you gotta control your mind and breathing. Meaning, I personally try to visualize and "keep my brain busy" by repeating in my head the run and line i'm about to take.
Also a trick I have taught myself..Is sometimes during qualifying I literally think its just a practice run. Telling myself, I GET to take a run on a track that clean and cleared for me.. this "fun run" is going to be a blast.
So tons of mental strength and you will be just fine with no nerves.
you should consider recieving clips and critiqueing them!
Humm... Maybe, but first I gotta keep using myself as the subject so I can talk my own shit on myself hahah I do enjoy watching and imaging what other drivers are going thru, but for now Im going to just keep critiquing my own learning's.
Would love to hear front vs rear tire sizes
Noted! I got you
foot cam study sesh✍🏼
Let me know what you find!
Really good video I actually learnt new things about throttle input and control 👌 I have one question how do you decide between left foot braking and hand braking when chasing I’m finding I loose a lot of rpm when I left foot brake but hand I can get close but not comfortable enough to get on the door any advice
First question, what’s your brake setup like? Stock?
@@144.natehamilton dual calliper hydro and stock everything else
You say about clutching in to float out… with a welded diff I don’t “float” it acts like it grips up and dives in
In a way this all makes sense. Meaning, when I do clutch in the wheels are technically slowing down adding grip. Meaning, you will need commitment with the chassis speed to accomplish this "move" For example: if Im "in that berm / rut feeling" in a turn. I cant just clutch in to extend my line.. It's more of a entering a zone setting line situation vs a i'm in the zone let me slip clutch to reach. Hard to type that thought.. but I will address this again in the next episode. Thanks for keeping me sharp!
@@144.natehamilton that makes so much more sense now bro! Definitely gonna try it next event I’m at! I did wanna ask does this work with big bank wall turns to stay on the wall?
Love the video! What is better for a drift car with around 160whp that weighs 3000lb wider tire with a higher psi or skinnier tire with a lower psi. What would give me the most grip but also the most laps?
solid question! personally I would head towards skinnier tire + higher psi in the tires = least amount of grip possible. Run laps with a loose style in the car + max angle = most fun laps! What are your goals with the car? what car is it even?
@@144.natehamilton Its a Lexus Is300 that completely stock other than a bucket seat, cut knuckles, and a welded diff. My goal with the car is to improve on tandems to the point where I can kiss my front tire on my friends doors
can you talk about how the powertain affects your driving style. turbo v8 to na v8 to turbo i6 and any 4 cylinder experiences if you have any?
Noted! I got you dude.
How do i know if i have the right swaybars for my care and how can it affect the handling with surten cars
This can be a tricky situation. I know guys who swear by sway bars, and I know guys who swear by running no sway bars. Tell me about your setup... What are you driving?
I have a question. When you are in tandem , and you are the following the leading car how far ahead do you look ahead of the lead car. Also how often do you look at the leading car. Im sure its all done by feel just curious if there is a little more magic to " where you look is where you are going"
Dude, this is a great question and I will definitely address this in the next episode. To put it in one sentence... "I try to visually drive their car instead of mine." - I'll explain in the next episode. Thanks for the question this one is important.
So I know you say this is for beginning drifters, but competition and tandems aren't really for beginners like me. I am completely new to drifting and bought a 2023 GR86 that is stock to go drifting only. I keep spinning on turns and I'm having a a hard time transitioning. Would you have any insight besides seat time to help me improve?
Yo! I also have a stock 2023 GR86, love this car so much. I do have many ideas that come to mind to help you. I will do my best to address these thoughts in the next episode. BUT FOR NOW... imagine.. DON'T DRIFT, JUST LEARN A DONUT. Meaning, wherever you are practicing, just try an accomplish one task of drifting vs thinking of all the transitions and cool shit others do. My first donut in my GR86 was literally turning the wheel to the left, create the smallest circle .... do like 3 circles just driving the car... then apply throttle until the rear end steps out.. balance that step into a simple donut drift. This will help you feel throttle control and teach how to counter steer. Hope that helps!
On throttle like a cr125!
Damn right, ride the rut!
If the person spins out in front of you, what do you do?
A. Spin with them if you are on their door.
Or
B. Avoid by looking ahead and dodging them
maybe you could make a series critiquing viewers clips and giving advice?
Hum.... who comes to mind to clip / critique?
@@144.natehamilton maybe either clips that some viewers send in, or Current Pro drivers
I would definitely send some clips in for review! That would be sick!
