Brap Brap Suspension geometry is where things get secretive in the world of drifting. As is clearly visible, the cars have obscenely high steering angles. Apparently as much as around 80+ degrees is possible, though at a point its only to help correct a mistake, such as while driving tandem and needing to correct course or slow down more.
Engineering Explained Yes but you can still cover the basics such as why the have such high steering angle. Or why they run massive amounts of camber or how toe and ackerman affects it, or maybe even get some pics of the Wisefab kits guys have to show what makes the components so specialized. Ryan Turek runs around -10 degrees of front camber, yet Ken Gushi and Dai Yoshihara run the same FRS chassis and don't have that much front camber. The custom steering components are designed to give as much room to the tire as possible yet still minimizing scrub and bump steer. Positive ackerman creates front end drag as the tires are at full lock because the tire closest to the apex is not fully parallel to the direction of travel and thus has some slip angle. (Not 100% parallel to the tangent of the turn)
Brap Brap Why is to get more angle. Where did you see that Tuerk runs -10? I'm fairly sure that's false. More than ~3.5 starts causing traciton issues. Most cars run very little ackerman but rarely no ackerman.
Yoshi Jeffery I was fortunate enough to attend FD @ Road Atlanta and when we were allowed into the pit areas you could see Turek had a lot of camber to fit under the Rocket Bunny overfenders. Looking back at my pictures it wasn't a full -10 but it looks to be around -5, and looking at Gushi or Dai they had around -2. Mad Mike runs a ton of ackerman and he gets absolute massive angle for such a short wheelbase. He looks to have around 2 degrees of toe out at the front, maybe a touch less and when he is at full lock his inside wheel is turned a little more then the outside wheel.
I just want to say, I love the contrast between explaining minutia and then shots of huge grins as the culmination of over a hundred years of engineering is summed up by one huge smile.
Can you do a explanation on reverse entry physics? I can't wrap my mind as it should keep going backward and sideway by applying force forward. Can slip angel be more than 90 degrees indefinetely?
Only aero you can really do is a big spoiler with big sideplates. The large sideplates put some force back into the vehicle going sideways. Chelsea Denofa used them on his e46 back in 2013. Dont know if they are allowed now.
The tires may have good grip bun once they start too spin and loose grip the coefficient is greately reduced but it will still be higher than for street tires. But the front tires don’t loose traction. Anyway you use slick tires just as in a typical racecar, but what’s different?
It would be cool if you could do a video for lets say more beginner drifters. Would they benefit from having soft suspension? And how do they set up drift cars in Europe or D1? Similar to FD?
Is the BBSS setup is great only for beam axle in drift? What about multi-link with big bar and soft springs? I hope you will reply, that torment me since years!
godtux 4 speed dog box. They were secretive of the suspension and differential. That said it's a winters quick change diff, and the suspension does have to use the original mounting points.
What kind of steering does this car have? Hydraulic boost, electric assist, or manual? Reason I ask is that these Mustangs come stock with electric racks and a good drifter told me that electric racks don't self center as fast as hydraulic or manual racks. I figure the car has been converted but as hard as I try to find information on the steering systems of Formula D cars, it's so hard to get it. It's a big deal, because most of the new muscle and exotic cars are now all coming with electric racks....Camaro, Mustang, Corvette, Challenger.....
Good video as always Was cool briefly meeting you on Saturday at Formula Drift, had to keep it brief because I was running around setting things up for the track
+Engineering Explained how about engineering a time attack car? Godzilla 32...please! I'm building a s13 ca atm and need some additional advice with the set up i should be running. Thanks man!
explain how full chassis are made and all the equipment it has and the perpose of racing cars been build that way.... example of car ...... gas motorsports celica my favorite.........some ppl dont even know about this and would like to share it
Heya. Ive veen watching your videos for a while now and I like how you explain things. And I like that your not confining yourself to the whiteboard. would you do a video of yourself learning to drift or a video of you doing some circuit lap times.. And also, could you do some videos on the art of drifting, i.e, what can be done to make a car able to drift better, what parts can prolong the life of the car since drifting isnt the healthiest thing for the car. And what suspension settings are can change characteristics of how the car handles. thank you
I know yeah, but what I meant was if there was say a series of videos he was to make that was aimed toward the drifting community and he could explain the difference from stock parts to aftermarket parts and whats the pros and cons. Its just an idea, besides the engineering/ physics side of drifting could be really interesting
this should be considered like a part 1 of a coverage, because vgj uses a high power and heavy formula d machine, so his setups differ from lower powered lightweight cars in formula d.
Lag does play a factor but most guys in formula drift that are running large turbos are also running computer controlled nitrous systems that spray during times when the turbo is spooling. This not only gets into boost faster but fills in the areas when the turbo is spooling.
Usually turbo cars for drifting either have anti-lag,are small or are on fast revving engines.After launch they pretty much never run low rpms because they would lose their momentum.

Nano Kumo Just a few comments: the goal is to minimize the number of shifts made, in Vaughn Gittin's case there is only one gearshift, so that would be the only time you'd worry about lag. ALS can solve this or other methods. They may have lag at the start but it really doesn't matter as long as they're into the power once they initiate the first drift.
Should have mentioned the steering angle thats pretty much makes the whole game nowadays with the insane increase in body angle and reflex-saves almost going gamepad in the car due to the much reduced wheel-ratio :-)
BroadcastBro They put sensors on the front and rear of the vehicle, and measure the angle of the car going through the turn, they have the GPS sensor showing them how fast the car is going, and it's also judged by gap between the 2 racing cars.
Awesome video!! Very professional. When you were saying the weight, I was expecting something like 2,000 lbs... It's funny that even with full fledged motorsports weight reduction (even on the brake rotors) it still weighs 30 pounds more than my S2000. Lol!
Engineering Explained True. I don't know how much heavier the 6.7L is compared to an LS, but my F20c is only 59lbs lighter than an LS1/2/3/6. And I'd imagine his engine is lighter than a regular LS considering how motorsports-oriented it is, so it may even be lighter than my 2.0L! :-)
Great video! If Rockstar or any other pf Fredrick Aasbø's sponsors invite you, can you go? i think it is the most interesting car in the Formula DRIFT grid.. Mad Mike on a solid second
Krzysiek Heluszka, from what I learned from Forza, a turbocharged car would have turbo lag to throw the car off balance. In order to have tge most control, either natural or super charged is needed to appy the power in a linear fashion. When the boost kicks in on a turbocharged car, the car instantly redlines, and the car spins out because it's putting all that torque onto the road at once, violently making the car spin out. Forza isn't the most realistic racing game, but it's pretty damn accurate still.
I still find it super weird that they use a softer suspension setup as opposed to stiffer. my drift rat has nowhere near that kind of hp, and i also dont have roll bars or anything like that to help balance my car so i guess it makes more sense.
Skull With more weight traveling at a faster rate of speed at deeper consistant angles while mantaining control during snap transitions, the need for grip goes beyond anything a basic drift car for fun will have. Is it needed to have fun? absolutely not. Thing to keep in mind, this is about competition drifting to reach maximum speed, angle, line, and consistant control in a drifting state. Building a cheap drift car for fun is as simple as welding a diff in most cases. I had tons of fun in a stock Miata, stock engine with air filter and straight pipe, stock suspension, with a welded diff and used tires kicking it around at resonably high speeds in third and sometimes fourth gear if I have enough running room.
Skull Keep in mind this is the american style of drifting, more power burning corners rather than big entries and tight twisty quick transition style drifting.
Austin Laflamme It's in a higher weight class (I believe they compete in the 3300 lb class). There's a max limit to the weight, they're all well under. It's allowed the 295's it runs on, they're not going to be so obvious in breaking the rules haha.
hey, man i think you know a lot about automotive/automobile engineering. i wanna know, do automobile/automotive engineers design and build only cars what about other automotive systems like....automotive space crafts, airplanes, robots etc
410ci . 14:1 compression ratio . 9k rpm . 740 ft/lbs torque . and they build these crazy engines just to do what a 240sx does but just a bit faster lol
One thing I feel you kinda glazed over, so obviously the whole car setup is for grip...but why? Why is so much mechanical grip necessary in a vehicle whose primary purpose is to not have mechanical grip?
MrSlowestD16 I was hoping it was clear, sorry if not. You need grip to be able to drift at high speeds. The purpose is not to have low mechanical grip. The more the better as this gives the driver more control and the ability to drift at higher speeds. The rear tire grip is exceeded with large amounts of power (840 in this case). Lots of power is also need to go fast.
MrSlowestD16 Another way of thinking about it is drift cars in the rain. The drifts will be much slower and much less exciting because there isn't enough grip to do it faster.
Engineering Explained Ah, yea, that's a good way to think about it. I was a bit more concentrated on why you need more grip to drift at higher speeds, the grip doesn't do much if you're drifting, but I suppose if you don't have much grip even getting up to those higher speeds is difficult without the tail wagging all over the place.
There're two kinds: rear-end-biased & 50:50 (this is the kind Ken Block uses). Rear-end-biased: Pretty much the same techniques as RWD drifting can be applied I suppose 50:50: Steering & throttle control, you only counter-steer during the following: Reducing drift angle Transitioning to another drift direction Exiting a drift
Alejandro Castro Montoya From what I understand (and I'm no expert) - it depends on the automatic & the way it's programmed, if it will let you select a gear and hold it, then yes it is possible to drift an automatic - if it won't let you select a gear properly, or it has "limits" in the software or hardware that make it change gear at certain revs or under certain loads, then no, unless you re-program it, or possibly even change valving etc. Also I think you need to be able to lock the torque converter and keep it locked or you aren't going to be able to fully control the slide.

DevilLord321, I'm surprised there aren't any comments on the "Mustang stereotype" yet. No offense, I agree with you, but the Mustang ain't my favorite.
***** Most of them are for looks. Rear wings do have a function though. The side cards on the wings help keep the car from over rotating and allow more throttle through a corner (more smoke). This is why you'll see some cars run wings for some tracks and not at others.
Yoshi Jeffery I here people say this, but I don't understand how a side card could significantly help when it is so small relative to the profile of the rest of the car traveling sideways through the air.
Kevin Sing Doesn't have to be a lot. Just enough. Same thing as putting your hand out the window on the highway. It's enough that they have regulations on the sizes of side cards you can run on your wing.
inuysha360 By reducing grip on the rear axle. Stiff springs, stiff bars, stiff tires (hey, just put plastic tires on if all you want is wheel spin). :)
Why did you not cover steering angle or suspension geometry at all? That is like the second most important part of drifting.
Brap Brap Suspension geometry is where things get secretive in the world of drifting. As is clearly visible, the cars have obscenely high steering angles. Apparently as much as around 80+ degrees is possible, though at a point its only to help correct a mistake, such as while driving tandem and needing to correct course or slow down more.

So you're saying drift cars don't need giant wings? Whaaaaa?
Cantenkerous Tim IMPOSSIBRU!!!!!
+Brian Browning haha i get it
you do not need big wing they only need it for drag racing
Most types of racing actually. Downforce is useful both for handling and acceleration, by increasing grip.
Federico Lucchi and you do not want grip for drifting
Can you do a explanation on reverse entry physics? I can't wrap my mind as it should keep going backward and sideway by applying force forward. Can slip angel be more than 90 degrees indefinetely?
More grip in the rear than the front... Lots of steering angle... Really not to hard to imagine.
The rear tyres get more then front. They just brake and turn the rear end back.
I saw a vid of Vaughn's backyard and it should be on travel sites as a major attraction in MD.
Could you explain the difference between a 2 Stroke and a 4 Stroke engine?
2-stroke: don't buy, ever. If someone's riding a two stroke it's a lawnmower at best, even if it looks like moped ;)

so they try to increase grip. For doing that the suspension is softer or stiffer?
+jert1100 Softer, but that's relative. Softer than what? It's soft.
What about stiffness of chassis ...would that be critical at all?
phil par A rigid chassis is always a plus, it allows for better tuning of the suspension.
I... seriously didn't expect that. Although it does explain how they stay planted on less than perfect surfaces like that.
this should be considered like a part 1 of a coverage, because vgj uses a high power and heavy formula d machine, so his setups differ from lower powered lightweight cars in formula d.

If money wasn't an option, what would be the best aerodynamic set up for a professional drift car?
Can I have independent rear suspension and also weld the diff? Or do I sound crazy😂 I think they did it on the Hoonicorn tho🤨. Idk someone help

***** Most of them are for looks. Rear wings do have a function though. The side cards on the wings help keep the car from over rotating and allow more throttle through a corner (more smoke). This is why you'll see some cars run wings for some tracks and not at others.
Yoshi Jeffery i see
Yoshi Jeffery ^^ The real expert! ;)
Yoshi Jeffery I here people say this, but I don't understand how a side card could significantly help when it is so small relative to the profile of the rest of the car traveling sideways through the air.
Kevin Sing Doesn't have to be a lot. Just enough. Same thing as putting your hand out the window on the highway. It's enough that they have regulations on the sizes of side cards you can run on your wing.
is this monroe? :o
Yes
woohoo a drifter from shift 2 unleashed and NFS shift
I will never understand this sport. I'd rather watch a dirt sprint car race where they are trying to slide AND go fast..
Jamessr23 It's about fun and style!
Engineering Explained I guess you have never been to a sprint car race then ;)
It's alright but NA 1600cc road races in asian countries are more entertaining to me. Formula drift is way down on the interesting scale for me.
saleen s302 here i come
Why don’t we have that kidney bean shape in our engine? Surely it would help with efficiency

Keiichi Tsuchiya does the same with a stock car ..... lol
And now the car is totalled...
+Fantana Engine lasts all season (assuming no major wrecks)!
Anyone else thought it said 2 months ago -_-
I like to drift
Nicolas Viramontes, In Forza? Same with me.
jelly
Gatebil :)
This feels too "americanized" I'd rather learn how low horsepower cars drift with a little suspension tuning and an LSD.
inuysha360 By reducing grip on the rear axle. Stiff springs, stiff bars, stiff tires (hey, just put plastic tires on if all you want is wheel spin). :)
True, because it was based off of an American drift series with an American made car and a big corn fed American behind the wheel dumb dumb 😂😂😂
hye fellows
yeah firstt :D
840 horsepower for a drift car? Lmao this just screams 'MERICA
Do you need a gas mask to watch this sport?
It is advisable, but from what I've seen, most, if not all, don't wear one.
