    This is slip angle. An advanced driving technique that blends grip and drift. It was used by Takumi in the show Initial D, and ever since then this technique has almost had an air of mystery surrounding it. I've received tens of comments telling me to look into slip angle in more depth since I made my grip vs drift video so here we are. Ask and thout shall receive guys. So, make sure you keep watching until the end if you want to become a driving god.
    So, what is slip angle? Slip angle is a measurement of how much the tire's contact patch has twisted (steered) in relation to the wheel. A good way to demonstrate this characteristic is to stand beside your car and turn the
    steering wheel. If you watch the one of the front wheels, you will see that it steers a few degrees before the tire's contact patch starts to turn. This characteristics is important in racing, because as long as the tires have traction, the car tries to go where the tires are pointed. So, even though the wheels may not be steering, the tires can be steering due to the slip angle
    For instance, if we take a look at this example, we can see that the vehicle is seemingly oversteering through the curve. It is following the inner radius of the corner closely. Now, because slip angle is in effect, and the tyres are steering without wheel much input, we can follow the inner radius of the corner all the way around. If we weren't using slip angle to take this
    corner, we wouldn't be able to follow the inner radius all the way round, thus we will be slower.
    If we take a look at a car utilising slip angle in slow motion, we can see that the front tyres are directly on the inner radius of the corner, but the rear tyres are about a foot away from said radius. This is the easiest way to spot slip angle. If the rear tyres are farther away from the inside of the corner than the fronts, that is slip angle. If you go back and watch your fastest
    lap times or touge runs, I can almost guarantee that at least some slip angle was used.
    Now this may be very counter intuitive to most sim racers, as sliding is usually slower and degrades the tyres massively. But to get around the corner as fast as possible, you actually have to engage a slight bit of oversteer. We can see this done in the top flight of motorsport, Formula 1 at every single corner, by every single driver. It's almost like drifting, however it is very subtle, faster, and less stylish. Whereas drifting is all about breaking traction, slip angle is produced on the very limit, as this is where the tyres are at their grippiest. Newer drivers may have been taught that sliding is bad, and that is why slip angle is so counter intuitive. But, sliding slightly is much faster than cornering well within the limits of the tyres.
    So the easiest way to start using slip angle and become a faster driver is to really visualise what is happening with the car as you drive. Those with natural talent may already do this, but for others this may be harder. You need to visualise what the tyres are doing as you turn, throttle and brake. As you approach a corner under throttle, all four tyres are equally distributing the weight to the tarmac. Everything is perfectly balanced. However, once you let off the throttle and brake, the weight of the car will shift to the front tyres. This means that your rear tyres are lifted off the ground slightly and they have much less contact with the tarmac than they usually would have. Thus, the front tyres have more grip, and the rears have a lot less than usual.
    As you turn in, still off the throttle and the weight of the car on the front tyres, you will find the front of the car wants to grip more than the rear. And naturally, the rear will want to slide and enter the state of slip angle, thus giving the car the ability to rotate faster that it could if all four tyres were gripping equally. As you proceed through the corner, you will soon need to hit the throttle again. If you throttle too aggressively, you risk the weight being pulled to the rear tyres, and you will enter understeer and wash out of the corner. So, you need to feather the throttle and find the right amount for the car you are using. The hardest part here is of course, not overdoing it and entering an actual drift or even spinning out.

    So Takumi also does this but with more angle and understeer while keeping countersteer at minimun or at 0 depending on the corner (4 wheel drift), god hand in the other hand (lol) does steers normally but with only one hand so it keeps the *steering* at minimun (never countersteers) while takumi does *countersteers* but at minimun (drifting as fast as humanly possible).
    In other words, both Takumi and god hand do slip angle but god hand does it better and more in a "grip" way while Takumi does it on a "fast drift aka 4wheel drift" way.
    So god hand technique is slip angle but mastered to the perfection, that's why he is indeed faster than Takumi on the corners when going at the limit (his car is also better than the 86).

      Mastery of slip angle could also explain why "god hand" can just change his lines while keeping consistency. Slip angle seems to really help with finding more grip across more of the width of the course, so at that point you'd just need to keep a little mental time delta going from corner to corner, which isn't a big deal for most racing drivers.

    • @ThaJay
      @ThaJay Před 3 měsíci +4

      @hirzaahmadmutahari6987 Indeed, the understeer he calls drifting is actually the four wheel drift and not the sport of drifting. It's a bunch of uncultured kids trying to piece it all together themselves and Takumi's genius shines through because he does not see sliding out just the rear as something difficult or hard to learn. He is a very impatient boy and when he comes into a corner too hot (again) and the back steps out, he understeers the front to tighten his line and avoid the barriers. Being as impatient as he is, he prefers to get back on the gas right away and just balance it out through the rest of the corner. That's how he learned the four wheel drift in my head canon. Later on he learned to aim it better and set it up beforehand to actually apex the corner this way. He was just thrashing on his dads ride just enough so he wouldn't get in trouble. Never making a scratch but the tires were fair game pretty much. Not noticing in his naiveness this is exactly what his dad wanted to happen all along. Remember how much shit Takumi got when the 86 got scratched up? And when his dad moved the goalposts with the cup of water?

    Another point to this is how when takumi faced shingo (red civic driver) he mentions in astonishment to how instead of sliding and making turns by using steering takumi instead used the cars weight shifting along with very minimal inputs to induce the slide and not needing absurd countersteer ( as he learned before he smacked a barracade)

    I remember discovering this naturally in FM6 in my Mazda Cosmo '72, each time I hit a guardrail or went off the track, I would rewind to see if and how I could prevent it, and I found that slip-angle was the fastest way around. Thanks to this, and all the hours I put into rivals races, I managed to score in the top 1000 (in the U.S.) on the D-Class - Nurburgring - Full Circuit - Day rivals challenge. Let me just say that again, that's 2 laps (1 still lap, 1 flying lap) and over 20 minutes of intense racing where you can't rewind, crash, or even go off the track, and it likely wouldn't have been possible without this technique. I later returned to Forza Horizon 4, and found that my driving skills had drastically improved. I'm not saying this video was the sole reason that I became so good at sim-racing, but I'm sure glad you're teaching this skill to others!

    Back when I was younger and raced with karts at Rotax 125cc, I was struggling on the budget and most of the time had to use worm out tires, like the tires normal people would throw away with 50 percent life left. Because of the less grip those tires had, I unconsciously developed a slip angle driving on most of the turns of the tracks I used to race. I realized that the more straigh the steering was, more throttle I could apply, hence taking the turns faster even if I was techinically loosing my rear end.
    Later I started jumping over the curbs, since in my local tracks they were huge, so by invading them with the interior wheels I could cut some cms in each turn, making a quite a decent chunk of .000's at the end of each lap.
    So mixing the slip angle and the curb jumping, I would "drift" the turns and balacing the kart on three wheels, making the front inner go over the curb, all the way until said curb would grind against the chassis. With my little 125cc I was destroying the DD2 class.
    Sometimes I dream what would happend if I had the money to actually race on a championship or something... Guess life is not that fair. At least I use everything I learnt from my karting days into cars.

    you can also stay on throttle. Stab the brake at entry with your left foot to compress the front, turn in as you get off the brakes and set you angle. You may need the feather the brakes as you power through to the exit. Especially good in a laggy turbo car. Works best on a car with slightly softer springs and dampening. Its also a good front wheel drive technique where you want to cause some over-steer and correct it with power under-steer to stay tucked into the corner.

    A while ago I decided I wanted to practice gt5 and was running tsukuba circuit trying to tune a new WRX in grand Turismo 5
    I found myself doing an odd version of this on shorter hairpins where I would turn sharply and break, swing the car around slightly, then accelerate.
    I think that was on fastest on those hairpins because it's close to the slip angle method demonstrated here while still working with binary acceleration (either on or off) due to the short radius.

    I do this quite often when I'm hooning around in my car, just as I'm entering the apex of a turn I'll tap the brake to shift the weight forward so the back end swings around the outside of the turn and was called trail braking, this technique is used in rally driving.
    My car is front wheel drive that's why I drive like this because it gives the front wheels more grip when cornering

    First of all, awesome driving! With risk of sounding nitpicky; I don't understand the drawings on 0:44. The cyan line is supposedly corresponding to the travelling direction of the car but is drawn tangentially to the purple line like 5 meters in front of the car. It's supposed to be tangental to the purple line, parallel to the car. The slip angle is the angle between the blue line and the cyan line. It's actually supposed to diverge in the opposite direction of what is drawn. Another thing I don't understand is why the angle is measured between the line of travelling direction (cyan) and the corner arc (purple)

  • @dominicalfafara3375

    How come this technique is rarely discussed in most racing guides for typical track racing like GT3? Is this something more applicable on downhill only or does it apply on everything? Im guessing the reason why its not discussed as much is because it wears down the tyre too much that its only worth it on short races like touge and qualifying races.

    • @41BOT
      @41BOT Před 3 lety +12

      @@dominicalfafara3375 Not really. When you trail brake you try to maximize slip ratio vs slip angle. Slip ratio is like slip angle, but for longitudinal direction. You can't have both at maximum. When you are maxed out at braking, you can't turn. As you release brakes slowly, you can gradually increase the steering (introduce slip angle). Then same goes for exiting the turn, you can gradually increase throttle while straightening out the car. GT3 cars won't like that much of oversteer yaw angle, because two reasons: their high performance tires operate at lower peak slip angles, and another reason is aero stalling with certain yaw angle - you basically loose downforce when you oversteer with car like GT3. And yeah, surely sliding also wears tires down very much, much more than they are in static friction position in relation to the surface.

Thats why its not a technique, or something you should learn, its just something you need to understand is a side effect of driving fast, and that you shoudlnt always avoid it.

Even F1 cars before they had all their aero they pretty much "drifted" trough corners. Its just going fast, trying to keep going fast in preserving momentum and using the brakes to get the rear to rotate the car on corner entry when you dont have the mechanical grip to do so. Ofc theres a skill on not overdoing it and just wasting your tires becuse you are actually just yeeting it around the track :d

    I don't want to say this is misleading, but... from the comments I can see there is a bit of confusion. Slip angle isn't a technique to master, it's the angle a car takes while going through a corner. It's also highly dependent on the car, the car set up, and the corner. An F1 car may have a slip angle while taking an 80mph left 60, but it won't have a slip angle while taking a 30mph hairpin but a 92 Civic will. Obviously the slip will change from each corner as well. It's not drifting either, but a drifting car has slip angle. For all intents it's a measurement of the difference between the vehicle direction of travel and the vehicles attitude (natural position; where it's pointed).
    What track drivers need to be concerned with in relation to slip angle is knowing what that natural angle is for each turn and situation that doesn't exceed either the front or rear grip. Ideally you'd want to brake and rotate your vehicle into that angle before getting back on the gas to adjust that angle with throttle. Finding your cars natural slip angle for a turn is the trick and what you want to master.

    • @Harmonic14
      @Harmonic14 Před 2 lety

      Correct that it's not a technique, but incorrect on the definition. Slip angle is not the angle of the car in relationship to the corner. Rather, it is the angle between the direction a TIRE is pointing and the direction it is actually traveling. If a tire has a non-zero lateral component, which is always the case if you're turning at all at a non-zero speed, you will have a slip angle of some sort.

    There’s a very fine line between true slip angle and drifting. He does a good job of showing it in more of an exaggerated manner here, but true slip angle doesn’t use any countersteering at all. If you’re on the ragged edge, you may have to in order to catch the car, because there’s almost no way to consistently do it 100% of the time. The 86 shown here is going to have a much larger margin of slip compared to, say, a Formula 1 car, but I think this is a brilliant way to dissect it. good video my mans!
