Drifting is what you think you're doing when you're power sliding
Joseph Yi What a *burn*!
*BURN* !
They forgot to mention one more technique - 4 wheel sliding (or whatever it is called). That is when entry speed is very big, so fronts are unable to turn the car and you have understeer, and then you slam throttle and turn the car with back wheels, while fronts are still turning where they were before. And then you gradually straighten up fronts (maybe tiny bit of opposite lock) and launch yourself out of the turn.60s F1 used to turn like that. They say Fanghio invented it.

The Stig's German Cousin yup. but still 50% m2
1% : m2 powersliding

5% : drinking fanta 😉
90% : SUN IN YA FACE
*+ The Stig's German Cousin this guy doesn't know what hes talking about, to drift u need a locking differential, the m2 doesn't have one I think, it starts at m4*
yup sun in ya face
Club BMW AMG. Bullshit, you dont know what you are talking about, first of all you dont need a locking differential to drift. I've drifted many driftdays in my first car with an open diff before I welded it.its just harder and you need to make more use of your weightshifting. Second. The M2 computercontrolled limited slip diff is GREAT for drifting and is the same diff as the m3 and m4 have.
You can powerslide anything as long as you have the balls to do it
LA of LA or the power
Even a reliant robin?
LA of LA a bus?
LA of LA actually drifting is much more complicated and f*cking dangerous.Powersliding is much more undercontrol.
LA of LA for me i powerslide my v8 grand marquis every day it's easy
Never wanted to drift.... Scary
Pro tip:
Use a cup of water to determine if your drifts were perfect or not.

A powerslide is pretty much what you do when you first get your license and you have a car with a open diff, so you powerslide out of your favourite corners at night coming home from work because you're too scared to get sideways before the corner :')

Since this is a tutorial after all, some additional footage of the footwork and handwork with the e-brake would probably have been better than having him do the same thing 50 times in a row. A lot of people probably dont even know what a clutch kick is. It is a lot easier to learn when you have visual evidence rather than someone just telling you how to do it.
Doggepp This isn't a tutorial, they are just Describing each method...
So what's the difference? "A tutorial is a method of transferring knowledge and may be used as a part of a learning process" - So it would have been better showing the actual stuff they did.
After all, this is in the discription "here’s a handy video guide!"
Guides aren't tutorials though, they are just explaining each method, not aiming to teach you.
Well - By telling us exactly how to perform one of the actions for 10 minutes, one would think that they might wanted to have visual representation of the techniques they were using. So that people might learn from it and see the difference.
I will try it tomorrow. Wish me luck lol

Here's an accurate statement that answers it quickly:
Drifting is the general term for a slide in a car around a corner. It also refers to a kind of judged motorsport where people drift for show.
A powerslide is a very basic drifting technique in which a RWD or heavily biased 4WD car slides using wheelspin to initiate the drift.
i always do a powerslide on racing games, a drift happens naturally in a corner but its not recommened since you do go about 25% slower and you wasted 6% of the back tires
I can "drift" with either a controller or a 180 degree steering wheel or while on dirt (Scandinavian flick usually), any other time I just do the powerslide as it's a lot easier
Car Of Doom a fwd can also imitate wheel spin, however I see power sliding as sliding after the turn. And drifting slidinh before the turn.
@@MJT-DA Yep, a drift is before and a powerslide is out of a corner
You can also powerslide an FWD if you go into nutral in the apex of a corner, i tried it couple of times and it works but i wont recommend doing it cause if you get it wrong well, you have no power to correct it and the brakes just gonna make it worst
Drifting: Playing with mechanics
Powerslide: Playing with the power

Thanks now I don’t need to watch the video

Aws baaaby
I was doing that before I liked racing games and back when I was a kid before ever driving. There's just something about it lol
Hey i got it right
Totally
Lmfaooo
this is wrong because the "Powerslide" is a known technique also called "Power Over" and is a form of drifting.
Just ask keiichi tsuchiya.
HowtogetShrekt™ 👏👏👏
youre right actually. none of the shown techniques in the video are powersliding :D just handbrake, clutchkick and power over here
I saw a video of Keiichi Tsuchiya driving in the hills back when his AE86 had the Levin lights and he was doing what in this video was called a powerslide, so if it's a method used by him, then it must be some sort of drift
HowtogetShrekt™ Exactly. Hate when people call FF drifting "power sliding", I then proceed to ask them, how is it a power slide if no power is used to induce a said slide? So some either give me blank stare or go on about their pseudo knowledge of handling dynamics.
apexdna More like a handbrake turn lol
Someone explained to me that true drifting is controlling your car when it's just beyond the limits of grip. Basically racing your car just past the point where your tires are still gripping. Controlling the slip past the limits is drifting. Whereas powersliding relies more on the engine than inertia to induce that same slip.

@@XxReactiveWeaponsxX 🤣 i know
A powerslide is a newbie drift basically. Because that’s what he did when he was too scared.
Meanwhile drifting in Japan, they don't even use a handbrake even on super tight corners. Just some countersteer and throttle control.
If you're talking about the pros they also have cars set up to slide at the slightest provocation.
Nope. Sometimes when Keiichi drift,he also uses the handbrake.
If you have a locked differential, your car will always drift when you steer even slightly
@@boonamai8926 false. I daily a locked diff and its predictable in ways an open diff could never be.
@@yuskeurameshi1536 Ok try to drive a welded diff in heavy rain and try not to drift ^^ I meant welded, not just locked btw
Drift begins 30 meters before the turn
xartpant loool
Drifting is not a handbrake turn to fwd people!
soo if u drift that corner exactly like that bmw with like golf gti with handbrake it isnt a drift? (it probably cant do it as smooth as that bmw on dry tarmac but in snow i bet it can drift that corner just like it)
why the fwd hate mang? what did fwd do to you?
Well you initiate the slide before the corner so technically it somewhat is
Darko Petreski gave me aids
Shitty tires + dirt road. Pull the handbrake, let it off and drift. :D
this guy is great, ive always wondered why my clutch kicks were sloppy. i was pushing the clutch in, revving up, and then dumping. but the way he was doing it seems way better

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!
hey guys coo vid, been enjoying all of them! keep em coming! I'd just like to say I drive an e34 m5 on daily basis, pretty much stock apart from suspension and you are forgetting the easiest way of innitiating a drift, the 'fient' I beleive its called, It's much more controllable less scary than a clutch kick, especially at higher speeds. Approaching the corner you want to drift, you turn the opposite way then flick it in using the cars weight to start the drift and catch the oversteer! No handbrake or clutch needed. Just throttle and steering control. Turn right to go left! Clutch kicks are great if your revs are low or you are low torque as you said but I find this much easier!
So pretty much:
Powersliding - Sliding after apex
Drifting - Sliding before apex
ok thanks i got it
Godzilla this video doesn’t even make any sense though, because the apex of a turn is where you start reducing steering lock and unless you’re chaining drifts (left side drift to right side drift or vica versa) the apex can be in any number of places. A similar definition to this is the closest spot to the interior of a corner, and while drifting, your simulated steering lock (lateral force) on the car is usually modulated to maintain control and can be lowered or raised at any point. Initiation of a drift is usually at the apex, for safety, having your rears slide out usually means that your car comes closer to the edge of the track, both by sliding and the fact that your rear swings to the side, but it can be initiated anywhere if you’re skilled enough, same with power slides, anywhere, but sliding into the interior of the corner is way more likely lol.
TL;DR Drifting is a controlled slide where the back wheels lose traction, power sliding is using power to initiate a slide where the back wheels lose traction. When power sliding you can drift, or you can just power slide, it depends on if you control it after the initiation of the slide.
Another thing I just realised thanks to you. They probably think drifting is before the apex, because the setup to initiate the slide is before the apex, so you can start sliding the moment you pass the apex.
gizmodo baggins yesss this is what i meant, i appreciate your comments even if it's three years later

FINALLY a competent drifting video on youtube!! FINALLY!!
For fuck sakes for how long have I been looking for one??
I have to disagree with the polarities proposed here. A powerslide is a means of INITIATING a drift. Technical definitions of drift range from intentional controlled oversteer to "intentional controlled oversteer throughout an entire corner." Well if a powerslide allows one to take an entire corner sideways (potentially an adjacent corner) it would meet the definition REGARDLESS of which you want to choose.
A similar means of drift initiation is the braking drift initiation. In which one (basically) initiates a powerslide at the entry of the corner by loading up the front tires under heavy braking before turning in sharply and giving throttle. Keichi Tsuchiya (the drift king) has plenty of helpful videos on all of this.
more drifting...u should test out e46 m3 and e39 m5...i wanna see those old cars without turbos and shit....
Wow. Thats a good friend! Great vid, It made my day.
I have been dying for this video
Next challenge: reverse-entry drifts
Pro tip. Be careful when drifting mid engine , rear wheel drive car.
i was drifting/powersliding/rearsteering a vw beetle with only 40 hp and engine in the back very easy and succsessfully. i imagine a mid engine is nearly as helpful as a back engine for this activity.
@@TheHolan easy to spin because there is car has less inertia due to mass distribution being closer to the axis of rotation with mid engine vs front/rear engine
I'd like to see more people talk about lift-off oversteer to initiate a drift.
its pretty useful, but is pretty critically different in how you control it.
Wowww!
Excited to try this on my 35HP , FWD car
So call me old but what do you think they called drifting before it was drifting? It's called setting up for the corner, and setup can be in many ways. loose, clean, slow in fast out etc. Just because the sport and word has become popular doesn't mean that's what its called. look up Scandinavian flick for some 'drifting' examples from 50s rallying. left foot braking, clutching, handbrake turns etc. been around form decades but apparently now setting up for a corner in a loose manner is called drifting. Troll away.
all ricers/Young civic drivers need this video
Luis Madero Yes because _every_ young person that drives a Civic is a ricer.. When will that stupid fucking generalisation end..
Hondas are good cars man, stop living with your bullshit Internet ignorance, most people who own civics just lower them and straight pipe their exhaust. Not exactly a ricer.
Shona apparently someone couldnt take a joke
Luis Madero It's a joke the first few times.. But when it's a constant comparison made between civic drivers and ricers, it just borders on sheer ignorance.
Shona shut it you drive a lawnmower
Love your videos guys. You got me screamin CT like chris webby.
Nice vid!
He needs to tint his windows
The PC Enthusiast yeah I think the same thing too
Why
@@stuccobro to look more "gangsta" obviously
And the answer is nothing
I like to think the difference is one is quicker than the other. drift is more of a showing off thing and power sliding would be like what rally drivers do to come out of the corner in a straight line
you're the closest I've seen here. From what i hear both in forums and during the event at road Atlanta, drifting and power-sliding are identical, the difference being the inputs. Drifting is what rwd cars have to do, the car requires a lot more control from throttle and brakes. Power-sliding is what AWD cars do. They can throw it in and keep it pinned and it almost "autopilots" compared to rwd. You can see it in rally racing and gymkhana videos where the AWD cars require far less counter steering to maintain the slide but in DRIFT cars youll see much more counter steer, so much so that drift knuckles are installed to get that much more control out of it. Of course steering isn't all there is, but power-sliding an AWD car is more forgiving than drifting in a RWD. If you tried to throw a RWD car around like Ken Block does you'd spin out repeatedly, there's no power train cushion to help you out. Still, to do either takes practice.
Drifting is and art form in driving, this is getting complicated and sciencey, that’s why I still don’t understand
Juice get roasted lol you idiot
Well said i need my 9:52 seconds back 😂
I really didn't know there was a difference. Good video.
Must have been a lot of fun making this video :)
