  • Ever wondered what would happen if you put a sim-drifter behind the wheel of a fire-breathing 900bhp championship-winning Nissan Silvia S15 drift car? Well, here’s your answer ...
    We recently brought 2021 Drift Masters Virtual Championship (DMVC) champion Rhys Tatterson ( / rhys.tatterson81 ) to Poland’s Tor Jastrząb to claim his prize and jump behind the wheel of Drift Masters European Championship winner Piotr Więcek’s Worthouse. Drift Team Nissan Silvia.
    Could Rhys tame the beast and put his sim-drifting skills to good use in the real world? Check out the full video now to find out!
    Excited for the DMVC action to return? More info coming very soon ...

    Let’s take a second to appreciate the fact that this man has never driven a drift car in his life, and has only done it on video games - simulation - and he just went out there and NAILED IT.

Lots of folks on here can't seem to grasp how powerful technology is getting, but even a simulation like this isn't an incredible feat of engineering.. These sims have been around for a long time now and when combined with force-feedback rigs for your steering wheel, seat, and pedals, it can really jar you around and get to about as perfect mathematically as it can to the feeling like the real thing.
      Remember folks, there's tons of math going on when that guy was drifting the car for the first time. All it takes is for someone to figure that math out and it can then be transferred in a completely safe virtual simulation environment for anyone to do with until their hearts' content!

    Racing games translate really well in real life. When I was 18 I drove my parents everywhere, because I enjoyed it. One time we were going in winter and the road was very snowy. In one curve there was an icy patch that I couldn't see and the back of the car went sideways. I didn't have trouble catching the drift at all due to all the Colin Mc Rae racing and my mother didn't even notice it. After 100m I had to stop though because the adrenaline kicked it.

      I had a similar experience to you in the snow where i could have had a bad accident with one oncoming car, i literally spun 90 degrees. Luckily countersteering and instinctively knowing to let off the gas and not brake straightened me up quickly enough to not crash. The oncoming car didn't even notice me having that moment so he didn't even slow down either lol.

      No, actually that's smart reaction. Your eyes is last thing to notice that you lost the rear of the car. It was you, your body that felt that rear was losing it and you took a controlling action. If you waited till your eyes saw it, you would be death.
      Racing sims do taught a lot but not the real feeling the car gives to your body.

    Wow, just wow! You can see haow nervous and anxious he is (8:18) asking if he is in right gear and if he should use clutch or not... he doesn't want to break anything or do any harm to the car, well knowing what precious gem he is driving.
    As soon as he get's on the throttle in a drift, you can see in his face pure concentration, he knows exactly what he is doing, how to control the car. No fear or joy on his face, just pure concentration on what he is doing.
    Just when he is going out off the drift mode and off throttle the feelings overwhelm and he is beaming pure joy. One drift after another he is gaining confidence, but he can't settle it in, because there is already the next challenge awaiting: tandem with Piotr
    Oh I love this. How he developed so quickly and always maintained the car in the drift really well controlled.

      I 100% agree. Most people that transition from sims etc have the knowledge/wheel input etc but then compile that with the jostling inside the car, the amount of pressure needed on certain inputs and then the new fear of speed they probably never knew they had until they gave a 600+ RWHP car a stab of throttle. He did exceptional if this is truly his first time behind the wheel of a proper skidder.

      @@mariolawrence897 depends, really... VR can be good, but a simulation can never emulate reality: the fears of fucking up a very expensive car, getting injured for real or worse. Put it this way - i fly a virtual fighter jet off the boat, do air to air refueling, land back on the boat in pitch black darkness - but all in the safe confinements of my room, not risking anything real at all. I do pretty OK in the sim, but would i dare to do such things in real life? Hell no i would not. Obviously the risks don't really compare between IRL drift cars and operating jets off an aircraft carrier IRL - but essentially the comparison between RL and VR stays the same, therefor VR can never transmit the fear of something drastically impacting your life like real events can do.

And let me tell you it translates just like this vid. I was really into dirt rally and wrc. And once you get comfortable with real world power and g force. The muscle memory takes over. When it snows in Denver I tear it up thanks to the skill I’ve developed in a safe environment.

    B. How accurate and well setup the car must have been, such that it felt no different to person habitual to virtual car setup.
    Yes he was nervous at first(cause who in his shoes wouldn't) but once he got feel of the car he flew that thing(atleast from us non professionals or viewers perspective). I'm sure he must have made some mistakes but my god he drove it so well for first timer.

    Sure the video is wholesome as hell, but I'm amazed that it basically means the skills can ABSOLUTELY transfer from sim's to real life.
    Of course, it doesn't mean everyone's a professional drifter, but the basics of throttle control for example, do transfer. What an amazing video !

    • @morgfarm1
      @morgfarm1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +81

      That's been proven in NASCAR, too. William Byron started out on iRacing and now drives Jeff Gordon's old race car. We don't have the sense of smell or the G-Forces to learn on, but the very principles of throttle control, braking, steering input, and 'hit your marks' all transfer over, we just need to learn how to translate our visual and audio inputs that tell us a car is loose or pushing and convert that into G-Forces in our seats.
      The most difficult thing that I still fight after 14 years of sim racing is how the 4 corners behave in regards to shock compression and rebound. if I can learn how to hone the shocks to do as I need them to do, I could do better. I'm also not a chassis setup guy so that makes it harder to improve. historically, the changes I think should alleviate certain conditions just don't jive. But I learned back in 2016 that I have *some* degree of talent. I was given a chassis setup for qualifying for a league race and started 3rd -- the guy that gave me the setup started 6th that day. The race chassis had me running better than they did in the long run, but I was wrecked on lap 3 which had me way in the back early, so I couldn't actually gain positions. Later that season at a road course I ended up starting 2nd in the 2nd group of drivers (we had something like 70 drivers that weekend), and I missed the fastest group by less than 1 second in qualifying. Ended up leading 6 laps, wrecked the car, took my tow and fast repair, spent the next 90 minutes climbing the running order and finished 2nd by less than 4 seconds. When I wrecked, I had a 12 second lead and had a spin while avoiding another car spinning in the very place I crashed in. had I not spun the 2nd time I'd have probably won that race.
      2017, I finished 3rd in points in my division and 2nd in 2018. I wasn't eligible for that division in 2019; ran 4 races in 2020 and sat out all of 2021. I am planning on a return in January to see if I can find enjoyment in it again.

      This really was pretty awesome, he handled himself like a very measured professional full of respect and care for the car and the moment. Really fantastic program put on by Drift Masters, and Piotr really did an amazing job welcoming Rhys, making him feel comfortable with encouragement and being stoked for him, you can tell it really pulled him out of a shell of being anxious, just what Rhys needed to excel in the moment. While it's still a huge step-up to be a professional on the track, Rhys needs to use this as a sign that he needs to get some equipment and take the next step, you only live once, you need to do what makes you happy.

    You see he is amazing but the fact he can conquer those turns with no hand break and on his first go is legendary. Much respect to Sim players

      He used the hand brake quite a lot, it’s kind of fundamental to drifting…

      I’ve always used to the clutch to skid my own cars so that’s why I did it, I felt more comfortable using the clutch to start the drift after time I started using the handbrake more for when I was linking corners up as you can see on the video!

      @@ericmullen14 in a sense, real life driving is easier in that you have a ton more feedback to work with, but obviously sims come with little to no penalty for mistakes so it's easier to find the limit. Oh well if massively overcook it into a corner and bounce hard over the kerbs in the sim....

    Wow just now seeing this video, hats off to Piotr for being such a stand up guy through this whole experience, and WOW Rhys, you killed it man! I transitioned from sim to sliding my brz around, but nothing like a 900hp fully built drift car. Also TANDEM?? crazy. amazing to see, thanks for the awesome video
