What is Formula Drift?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ค. 2024
- Drifting is a motorsport that’s instantly recognizable, yet many people don’t know how it works. The fine balance, steering inputs, throttle control, and absurd g-forces that go into what appears to be just a simple slide. Formula Drift is the culmination of these complexities. It’s a place where the black art of sliding can be presented on national television in front of thousands of adoring fans. There’s a lot of skill, technology, money, and sponsorships at work here, but we want to start by just explaining the basics.
Shout out to Larry Chen for bringing us out to the event!
Because we know you'll ask, this was not a paid advertisement for Formula Drift, just something we wanted to make because we enjoyed the event.

I'm old (over 50) and really didn't know much about this type of competition until this video. Great video guys! Keep it up.
Gotta love how motorsport is appealing to every demographic, from little kids that like watching things go really fast and occasionally spectacularly crash to the vets of the game that appreciate the mechanical aspects of the competition
@@olivershaw4948 really awsome
Awesome bro
Drifting is all about the corners and having fun not about winning.
Josh Leija not true it’s a competitive sport to show you how your lines can be ran specially in tandem
not that specific, but is more of enjoying a smooth drift than who is better, in my opinion the looking of the drift is what it makes like it is
Drifting is cool as an activity, but I don't like it as a spectator. I tend to not like things that require a judge to decide a winner. Judges are human and are biased and make mistakes.
I'm surprised Rally is not as widely watched in the states. Drifting takes aspects of rally in terms of car control. So rally is drifting used to maximize speed on a trail. Winner is the one that gets to the end of the trail the fastest, no judges. Rally is awesome.
I agree with the judging aspect. Though untill there is a way to implement advanced technology which could replace the judges, there is no other option. They are trying a relatively new system in Japan which is called the DOSS system. It uses sensors to determine the cars movements and see if they hit the right amount of angle, line and proximity. Its a smart system but it has shown many flaws with its results.
Or rally Cross. Rally Cross is the best Motorsport for spectaors as well, because there are many short races and the track is tiny
@@Luki-xr2ih and chaos...
i personally disagree with you but i respect your opinion
yes, for me personally drifting is just about fun.
i know what formula drift is, but i cant help but watch a good quality video on it
Wonder what drifting well look like in the future
DC 4Life only tire screwching or just soundless flyimg
DC 4Life give it 20 or so years. Won't see much change for a while. I'm still waiting for extremely high speed drifting. That's probably the future since it's going to take even more precision to do it right. Basically minimal corners but enough that you'll have to turn.
MORE. POWEEEER!!!!
Hopefully less power not more, these cars with 1000hp+ and heaps of grip don't drift any better then cars with half of that, more and more competitions are limiting which tyre's you can run and it's made them better.
The more powerful, the more faster the tires wear out
This looks like paradise
Somehow modern drifting (Formula Drift, etc.) seems quite different from "Keiichi Tsuchiya's Drift Bible" stuff IMO...
The cars have become much more specifically and highly tuned since then. Steering angle, power, grip, etc. has significantly improved since the old school days. The criteria for a "good drift" has also changed a lot with those technological changes. I myself prefer the older drift bible style of drifting, but enjoy the competition that this higher tier of drifting has brought.
bang on!
Nick Amarit yeah theyve made it easier with car mods nowadays (but it's still hard just not as hard as what keiichi does)
Kudos to you Gears and Gasoline for making a well-produced video that explains the format and criteria involved in Formula Drift. You guys did a great job of putting together great cinematography with a well-thought explanation of how the sport works and the criteria/rules behind it. I was at FD Atlanta this year and I wish FD would play this on the screens as a guide for newcomers as the FD events seem to attract more and more people every year.
Woah, the quality of the videos you guys are doing is just so great, keep working like that, I'm sure you all be successful
I wouldn't have had known what formula drift exactly is until now, thanks (Y)
Thanks for the cool video with such a high production quality. The info how it works was very helpful, since I will make a video about drift racing as well! Keep up the good work! :)
3:44 "the responsibility of chase driver is harder"
Yes I agree I play FR legends.... I lose all my advantage in Chase run 😅
Re edit: I've learned how to chase.
Donut Media's GT 4586 is here! WAOW!
It’s not donut media’s car, it’s ryan tuerck’s car and donut media made a video about it
subbed just cause this video was acc put together well! nice job
yo 2022 here alwasy wondered waht its all about i love drifiting in games but i sometimes watch formula drift but never understand it. now i do and this whole video gave me goosebumps!
Incredible video as always!
Great video guys!
Such a quality video like always
thank you for making this vidéo , many people dosen't know what Formula Drift 🏁 is about
A new JDM channel throws out all kinds of introduction to JDM stuffs, what a smart way to start!
FD is dope and all.. but I think a form of FD combined with small short Rally style races would be way cooler.. like FD + Gymkhana + Rally + Time Attack = Something amazing.
Rally cross sounds right up your alley
Great video. Great way at simplifying FD so that an outsider can understand.
lets go my next presentation idea thank you so much bro
Formula Drift!!! Favorite motor sport🤘🏽🤘🏽
I really wanna go to this, never heard of it before. Gears and Gasoline is more than just entertainment, obviously
If only this was a full length documentary. I would watch the shit outta that
Wow I love this channel
I went to a formula drift event just before I started school for this year. It wasnt competitive but I still had a lot of fun going! There was a Drift Taxi, which was $50 to ride but I had $49 in my wallet at the time lol. Drift events are fun to go to, not just formula drifting. Street legal drifters too! Going to one for Memorial day I hope!
Sam Jacobson
lol it must've sucked not having that extra dollar.. but you're right; drift events are the ultimate cure for depression. Such fun
I had the blessing of sitting in the front of one of my friend's friend Volvo 2 years ago, while he was drifiting it. Such an amazing free of charge experience :D
I love this channel
love it !
Wow I didn’t know there was all that stuff besides the drifting like the full access thing I really want to go to a formula drift event now
I learned about "drifting" in my buddy's Chevy 1500 on a back road about 15 beers deep and thought I was the shit. Turns out I don't know a fuckin THING about drifting. Teach me more about the cars that drive sideways. This is rad.
I want to get out there! I want to learn to drift!
Start on skidpad not on track that's my tip
I love drifting ,like he said its how much control YOU have when the car is getting out of control .
3:08 damn, the ferrari powered gt86 is looking nuts!!
drifting-skidding
used to do it on my bmx as a kid
At 3:29 I can see myself! Long Beach was incredible this year, can't wait for Irwindale.
Do people in the US really see Nascar as the main motorsport event so much that they predict you watch it if you say you are into racing?
In Europe it's F1, rally, MotoGP, other classic racing leagues. No one would even consider Nascar here.
Miko it's NASCAR. it's sad too because everyone says I should be a NASCAR driver but making left turns isn't that fun.
Well I can definitely see Nascar being fun. It's isn't easy I can imagine. But it just misses out on a lot of the racing aspects compared to other racing leagues I feel. I've not seen a lot of Nascar though.
@@MikoKnight Kimi says, that nascar is to booring to him cause its just driving in a circle.
IMO, nascars boring since you just goin a oval a bunch of times
Hope I get there one day.
I am sur you will Max, you are 13 and have an amazing talent.
I love that TT Viper 😍
Grauekraft it’s the power daddy. It puts down 1300 hp and when boost is turned up it’s 1500
Video quality is Hollywood quality
Here before the channel hit 100,000. Remember me!
It's almost like I was there :D
2:44 the man with the glasses is Chelsea DENOFA
Kristaps Blušs. As a latvian, i am proud of him!
Its the good stuff
Theres the Stig right there holy shit
Ah, yes the good’ol gears and gasoline
I contacted you guys for a doc Idea but never got a response back. Contacted you via my car comp email. However, nice video would be awesome to go to this one day.
Can you please do a what is baja 1000
Did he just say more drivers than ever? Boi there hasn't even been a full 32 drivers to compete this whole season. Even with every driver *(Faruk Kugay)* on the roster, it still wouldn't be a full 32 for Top 32.
jdm jp I was about to say the same thing
Thats true lol. Though I dont see that as a problem at all. In the previous years there were 60 qualifiers a weekend. It made it very tedious to watch and half of the field were not even experienced enough to finish the section.
some of the drivers sometimes dont get to the event but if someone retires from fd. fd them self will choose some of the Prospec drivers(Pro 2) to compete in the next season
Cars are life
There are food, cars and u forgot girls.. Nice video guys
0:50 the mx5 is kyle the Menace Mohan
Who can even dislike this?
1:07 - Опа! Гоча! Рад вас видеть!
Legends say that if you are early gears and gasoline will replay
+JesusIsMyDad11 but you're not that early?
Deane’s S15 can never be shaken
Kevin Le tell that to Forrest wang
Krisstaps bluss he is from LATVIA
I always thought that formula drift was about racing like touge racing
So... it's actually a contest
its *dank* , thats what it is
00:56 can someone tell me which helmet is that? The black one with the orange visor
AndreAgonia by rouxhelments
@@teddydrift thanks, do you also happen to know the exact model? Checked their website and couldn't find it, maybe it's out of production
this video gave me goosebumps
This is my dream career
Is there any platform where I can watch it?
FD Is streamed live, go to the website
Network A and the FD app
I'm here before 100 views and before 10 comments. Remember me
Oh, and the vid's awesome, as is usual from G&G
Derrick Harvey I'm here on time, I'm not subscribed, just found this in my recommended and clicked because nothing cheers me up more than drifting does
Ossama Shishani
Good to know....
The Anonymous nobody cares
how did i know it was downtown long beach 0:11
16k views?? WHAAATTT
In the next 5-10 years formula drift will be like nascar.
Nani!? Inertia Dorifto!?
Wish I could join in a couples of years.....
The Car Guy same
Just out of curiosity- why?
The Car Guy same
me because if I love drifting and iif they paid u
drifting i think is better than nascar, WRC and formula one.
Fromula drift is awesome
Could a Lamborghini car be used in formula drift racing?
Ferrari did it, so why not? Lmao
EDIT: I did some research it turns out a guy named Daigo Saito has one, I don’t think it’s in fd but it’s a drift Lamborghini
3:10 DONUT !! ayeee
how can I get into drifting? I'm on a tight budget because im a teen but I really really really want to start please help
You just get a manual transmission car that's RWD.
The best thing you can do is get into a local car scene. Gears and Gasoline even made a video on how to do that. By getting into the car scene, you gain connections with other car enthusiasts, which could lead to connections on how to get into drifting. You'll also make a lot of new friends, learn a lot about many types of cars, and maybe even get to drive those cars as well. Hope that helps!
DJLeeland thank you so much
I think ken block should be in formula drift
4:29 forget phub, this is the new shit
I think this would be more fun, if they invented smokeless tire
its the smoke that makes it more fun, drivers smoke the tyres so that it makes it difficult for the chase driver to see
if even more fun with more smoke. Sure the drivers wont like it but its so beautifull
The 411 Gumout gt car isn't Formula Drift
I prefer drifting in mountain pass and hairpins, idk maybe i watched too much initial D
well i saw the ferrari engine swapped toyota gt86.
Я человек простой,вижу в названии formula drift, захожу посмотреть на Гочу
Drifting was originated in japan
DEAN KARNAGE
As much as all drifting is good drifting. FD is just glorified hooning, there isnt any character. It's all just supercharged LS motors and the same angle kits. If I'm watching drifting, D1 Street Legal is where its at. Each car has character and style, the setups are different and it's all in the driver to show how well they can drift anything.
Jackson Higgins excuse me? There’s a wide variety of cars now
I bet that this started because of project D from initial D
wow... just wow. I hope ur joking dude
Dude, what are you on !? Learn the roots of drifting.
hahahahaha...really. I bet i know more about what drifting involves than you know about yourself. Sit down kid and dont try out out me. Ur stupid because the fourth stage only started in 2004. Ur ignorant if u think that they could set up a massive event with restrictions, judges, judging criteria and license to all the tracks they run in the same year. Think about it before u say something stupid next time
I was responding to the other guy, not you lol
my bad dude. I thought u were him. didnt know anyone else replied. My bad dude
lol formula drift was born when i was born. coincidence? i dont think so
Why most people watch nascar in the us? On the other hand in EU everyone watches f1,
I Am Sekou ur mom giey
what normal people think about drifting: forumla drift. what a weeb like me thinking about drifting: _EUROBEAT INTENSEFIERS_ _AE86_ _MISFIERINGSYTEM_
The lack of Rurobeat is the one big downside of all the Formula Drift videos.
1 prius owner doesn't like this (before 3k views) xD
meloN_ best_ LOL
Anyone else have to watch that ridiculous Colgate ad?
It's 1 am but, wait I don't have an excuse. Shit this video is lit tho... So yeah sleep should probably get some of that.
4:42 he’s so chubby
I like d1 more
I just dont get it. I get drifting, I just don't get how you make it competitive. I mean, I get how they do, it just doesn't make any sense to me. Well, I was about to make a point that it would be like making sketching or painting competitive, but then it occurred to me that we already have figure skating as an olympic "sport", so I guess there's precedence. Never mind, I get formula drift now, but it just doesn't sit right with me.
The competitive part is leading and chasing part.
Advocate the solo part is also a competition. They're competing for the most points as awarded by the judges
So you do see how they make it competitive?
I don't get it either. purposefully destroying tires is what it is. It's fun to watch though
So your saying its a waste of time money and resources? But doesn't this make money? Sponsors spectators
So what's the deal? You have to power slide or get disqualified? Obviously a lot of turns would fastest NOT getting sideways....I don't get "drifting" for looks ....just seems stupid ....I mean a track is so tight that the fastest way around is power sliding? THAT makes sense....but doing it for style? Gets more like fake wrestling if you ask me
just shut up and enjoy the drifts guys, who cares whos 1st/2nd/whatever
Just watch an AE86 win every single time
