    If you drive cars at speed on racetrack, then you should be close to the limit of grip. And that means you might exceed your grip limits. And if you exceed your grip limits, you may well need to recover from oversteer skids. So how do you learn to do that? You can start by drifting, and here's 5 stages to learn to drift demonstrated using a Toyota 86, Porsche 911, and Lotus Elise.

    It would be much easier if there were places like this available to the public so we can learn to drive safer. But the only place we can practice this on are empty parking lots at night.

    I’m glad this popped up on my feed, great driving, mister! 👍

    Wow...I did this all winter in my grandfathers 455 Pontiac Bonneville in Pennsylvania winters back in the 70's when I was 14...and its a great refresher on those that don't have snow! I do this in a 68 XKE with a 383 SBC 2 speed powerglide now at 62! Love driving like u do !!

    As soon as it snowed in the early 90's me and my mates were straight out the door- skidding about on the backroads of Scotland in minis, mk2 escorts and fiat 131s. Fantastic fun emulating the rally drivers of the day with many a bumper or front wing dinged. I'm never going to be Ari Vatanen but I still love driving in the snow and any conditions where the grip is reduced.

    i try many way to save FF or FR cars from the sliding situstion. finally, i found out just hold the throttle and lightly tipping the clutch is the easiest way to take back control whether in FF/FR, oversteer/ understeer. but first, you need to have a clutch pedal.
    it may not the best way, but once you master the technique, it can really save you.

    I first learned these skills in a go kart as a kid. It’s a good, cheap alternative to practicing with a real car.

    I have no desire to do this but very interesting.

    Is this a course available to the public?

    You get a pretty violent snap-back to the outside because you don't apply enough throttle after catching the car. Could bite one day.

    • @L2SFBC
      @L2SFBC  Před 3 měsíci

      Yes, it's a balance...I didn't want to say "snap off the throttle" but also not "add more power". I shall look more into your load-sensitivity concepts to see if I can refine the advice.

    • @ArchOfficial

      @@L2SFBC Load sensitivity is an extremely basic thing that basically everyone is aware of, it's not some thing I made up.
      EDIT: Nor is it probably what's 'missing'; I just think, based on what I see, that the trend in these videos is to advise less throttle than is safe or reliable.
      It's fine if the person doing it is a skilled driver who can cut down the wheelspin precisely to save the tires and laptime, and it avoids accelerating the car to the outside or increasing yaw, but a small mistake in the application can result in snapping to the outside once grip is regained. It happened a little bit IN the video due to slow countersteer and insufficient throttle, but your car control skills allowed you to balance the tire slip near the peak enough not to grip up too much or to spin out. Most drivers won't have that ability IMO.
      The reasoning is that it's easier to slip one axle just a bit above the slip limit than to try to balance on the peak, where going under it can and usually will result in gripping up that axle suddenly.

    How long would to take to get a good basic skill set like this?

    • @L2SFBC
      @L2SFBC  Před 2 měsíci

      More than a day. Takes constant practice.
