This is exactly what you needed. I think people.nowadays are to quick to upgrade the car rather than upgrade the driver skill.
Lmao to true
Some dude (convicted coke dealer) in my town spent 100k on a drag car and totaled it, the video of it went a little viral (probably 10k views on facebook or something) and the dude called it a win 😂 some mfs are so confidently delusional it hurts
💯 precent true 👍 😊
Yeah and i think sam did exacly that. In my opinion he should have just finished building the old s15 and done like a year of grassroots drift competitions before hopping in to fdj.
@@niilomakinenhe did it on purpose tho? That’s how you learn faster grassroots drifting isn’t the same as 1000 hp+ drifting
They’re just straight enjoyin themselves like it’s a Assetto Corsa session 😂😮
LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH. Yes Naoki and The gang have always been hella drivers but Man you've gained my respect as a human being to be able to humbly put yourself in a n uncomfortable position for growth and to genuinely speak about your flaws with NO EGO IN IT!! Man I wish you the best on this journey to take your driving to the next level and I wish you nothing but granted desires man
Thank you so much for filming this culture . I dont know if you have noticed but it doesn't get filmed much hahaha
That’s what I was thinking lol there’s so many new people that are going to get inspired by burst style drifting from this video I’m so hyped
Sam read this!
1.24 in and I’ve paused to write this and it needs to be said.
You can drive, we see that everytime your in the chaser or your just ficking around having fun BUT you can’t compete. Come comp time your ego always gets the better of you and it’s very easy to see it from the outside and also very easy to see it for yourself. And I can prove it to you.
Go back and watch your last comp vid.
Listen to the 15 in practice then listen to it during the comp and then pay attention to the sound of the chaser at the end of the video.
You will hear that you have a job and you want to learn and do it in the practice.
Then listen to your ego take over at comp time, limiter-limiter, high rpm and not being able to control the car because again your ego needs to show off and unfortunately it’s just been embarrassing to watch over and over again. Then watch the final scene with the chaser, listen to your foot control, your throttle control, watch your hands and watch the transformation of no ego, just a bloke with his car enjoying and doing what he loves.
This is not an attack in anyway shape or form it’s simply the observation from the outside.
The only seat time car you should be driving every single time at any track anywhere is the 15.
You need seat time until it feels like it has 300kw and your brain understands that it’s a competitive sport not a show off show and you learn to play the game.
Points is what you need to be chasing and that means atleast actually taking part of the event that matters.
Your mentality not ready and you don’t know your car.
We are a few years deep of excuses now mate, you have grown up, you are a dad, you are a husband, treat your comp drifting in the same way you pick up your son, slowly, gently and smooth so you don’t hurt him.
It’s not a smoke show it’s a comp, comp needs points to win, come time put your fucking ego back in your ass and play the fucking game and get some points.
Fellow Australian
Love ya
He can't comp drive thou, he's a good fun driver but not a good comp driver and that's what he needs to realise
"That thing is way too clean"
instantly dents the door on the chase haha
Not guna lie, I watch your videos purely to watch the "trainwreck" happen. You're living any true drift enthusiasts dream man and it pains me to watch but I cant look away. This video has changed my mind about you and I hope you stick to this way of thinking. Far to many dudes think they've clocked drifting and its hurting the sport. If everyone had the attitude of "I suck" then the sport would progress in a much better direction. Keep it up!
💯💯💯💯💯💯
well said 😇
Now Sammit just need to realize he sucks...
better singer than drifter
no one has really vlogged inside here before. great video, post more meihan !!!
yeah always kinda felt a little exclusive and mysterious before, so I am STOKED for more of this!!
If you're willing to watch Brazilian vlogs there's meihan content
Driving overbuilt cars and not practicing. Glad you see the error of your ways. Simple seat time cars for the win.
Sammit you getting pointers/lessons from the master and backie King 🤴 himself is exactly what you needed a reset and fresh start nicely done 👌👍
You seem much more tense than they do. They are out there just having a great time. This is definitely what you need both for physical muscle memory but also mentally. Can't wait to see how much better you are going to become.
Yep he seem stressed when driving and maybe not used to that car
@@adrianhellstrom2927You can hear it in the way he feathers the throttle when the others are full throttle
Naoki has been ripping these courses at a pro level for damn near 20 years so of course sam looks tense in comparison. 😂
Love Naokis throttle control its so exciting!
The way Naoki is driving is like how he speaks, its natural from him, and there’s where you need to find the language in drifting to connect with in order to take your skills to the next level ❤
I want more content like this, training with team n style BURST, because Naoki and has been my idol for a long time and all team n style are really crazy about driving cars 💜💜💜
I truly truly hope you start coming out here more and more I don’t ever really get to drive irl due to cost but I drive a lot in assetto and I base my entire driving style from that burst Kansai style of driving
Awesome Sam, life learning and having mentors is the best. Agree regular tuition is the go. Great entry's. ✌️🤘🇦🇺
As a drifting legend myself(ive never drifted before) this was intense fun to watch!
huge fan of casey and naoki, awesome video sam! MORE MEIHAN
Bruhhh I think this is the most fun video I’ve seen you post !! Seems more down to earth or like something i would do with my buddies. No helmet no rules just drive n have fun don’t wreck
Can't wait to see more and see how you level up!
I'm jealous of that 11year old, I don't have a licence yet,and not to mention I stalled my dad's Landrover on a downhill hahaha
Naoki is a legend
13:15 I just realized bro is drifting with CROCS
You don't do this? Everyone I know does this including me to
classic Naoki
if you ever watched the hoonigan daily transmissions back in the day, you would see pizza CROCS putting in work lol
He does that 90# of the time
That poor SR lol it sounded like it was about to die 😂
so i play racing games from time to time and ive made alot of rep liverys sammit and naoki is my fav ive made so far
I think you should talk more about what you’re learning differently because you just saying “I’m learning lots” but never explaining what you’re learning then Are you actually understanding and learning what Naoki is trying to teach you.. just my experience when people say they are learning but don’t actually say a single thing about what they are being taught the 95% of the time they aren’t actually learning anything… and I have taught a lot of people in the biking world and skateboarding world.. being “consistent” isn’t a technique or something you learn, it’s the techniques you learn to become consistent and the facts you don’t look at it as that aspect says a lot for why you’re progression has flattened out majorly and you’re not progressing.. you think people will make you better instead of spending the time trying different techniques!
Sam’s been in a real D1 who are you to be talking like that ?? Talking like your master oogwey of learning, pipe down bro i swear people always feel like they gotta put they input into everything
@@graveyardmanager5718
Saying things you learn out loud is always good because it makes you more likely to remember it. It also makes you reflect on what goes though your head.
It doesnt make a difference if Sams been in D1, since he says in tje beginning in the video that he wants to learn, and that makes every tip valuable
It’s also just better for the video if he says what he’s learning
Dude this video is SICK!
Probably the best video you ever made 🔥👌 what a chance to learn with naoki himself🤙
Looks like technique and practice are more important than big tracks and 1000hp... Who would have tought!
He caught that Adam LZ bug with the high HP stuff… smh
This is legendary.. never stop, Sammit!!
i find that teaching others something i just learned is a good way to solidify what you learn. or defining that knowledge back to the instructor. and ask. am i right in this? am i understanding this correctly? am i practicing this correctly? definitely cool to see this direction of the channel in this video
12:44 my jaw dropped when I realized a kids driving, and driving better than most people...wow
I think a fairly stock sr20 practice car would be a great addition to the channel and do wonders improving your driving. Just a 180sx with a manifold, fmic and t28.
I wish there was somewhere like this in the UK, its hard enough to find a skid pan. Nowhere for people to learn over here other than midnight Mexico runs
''If Naoki can keep up with anyone in this thing, than so should I...''
your a bigger fool than anyone thought!
This one of my favourite video on TH-cam at the moment !
me tooooooooo
Pro level thinking 👌🏽 Best of wishes
keep the grind going sam to perfect a blade u cant stop when it cuts paper u must go till it cuts another blade. keep practecing i want u to get 1st every time !
That’s something fresh❤
Always wondered why you haven't practiced on meihan before. Your driving is going to be nuts in a year, finally man
5:50 You gotta start using OPTION style graphics on stuff like this. All the cheese, please. Everyone will love it
Sam I think you're a great driver, you've jumped up a massive step , some people take 2/3 seasons just to get their heads around it. Don't be too hard on your self.
It was always evident from the interior shots that your hand movements whilst drifting were pretty erratic. Gotta learn to slow your hand movements down, and flick more with your wrist rather than relying on the handbrake all the time, just look at drivers like Ueo or Kaicho. Good to see you having fun with Naoki-san
This is awesome!!! #bucketlist
that rhd heads up display and dash and windshield is worth tens of thousands of dollars
12:53 😮 wtf .. 11!?!?!?? Man putting most of us to shame 😂😂 that kid can drive 👍🏽🫡🤙🏽🤙🏽& that dude is insane 😂!!! He didn’t stop drifting until he reached his destination 💀💀🤣
brother maybe you need to re-discover taking the correct lines and hitting all the zones in a 600hp car instead of trying to go for maximum angle and smoke all the time in a 1000hp car, imo it causes you too many mistakes. we want to see you do well but its almost never a clean complete run in qualifying 😢
My FAV drift king!!
Naoki's driving style reminds me of Luke finks
MY MAN Shirtstuckedin made it into the video yoooo
I honestly think if u come to ireland for a month it would help u more then any ebisu track day there a reason Ireland drivers are the best in the world and why naoki as much of a god he is even he couldnt hang wit the drift masters drivers especially the irish guys and the same wit the fd U.S
A month in Ireland would 100% do more for him. Not just the level of driving but the instruction in English allows them to be more specific. I know Sam's Japanese is pretty good but there is still a barrier.
seat time. cheap seat time = assetto mods
sim streams when bro?
100% tuning in for that. be great watching you swear at it when csp crashes :D
Broo his drive style is so fucken dope
16:24 this is what I inspire to do one day 😂😂
At 11:20 did bro just do the Akira bike slide in a car? So sick.
The side buttons on the car you rode along, oddly remind me of the buttons on a Japanese toilet lol.
throttle control is everything
Realistically you need 200ish horsepower and a welded diff, some budget coils and some sway bars. Thats literally it, there’s no magic formula or anything. Focus on consistency until you can consistently max the car out cleanly.
I think the best way to learn is to drive with consistent drivers. You don’t learn anything from chasing sketchy drivers.
And similar spec cars/grip.
This looked like the perfect day, fun, no pressure, low (ish) cost
I picture Naoki just saying "stop being a pussy and feel the arc" lol. This is the perfect training to push you through this wall.
Sam uses too much handbrake
Naoki is the man! Best style and a man of the people, saw him at d1gp Tsukuba last weekend and was one of the best experiences of my life 🔥🔥🔥💨💨💨
This is the true legend
Brother you need to take the handbrake out of a car and practice with it. No disrespect but you need to break the habit of grabbing for it. You don’t need it most of the time and it’s hurting you.
Awesome video as always Sammit. You always hang out with some of the most awesome and talented people.
Man that was some good driving! Your getting so good with all that practice!!
Naoki is a fkn savage and no better man to be learning from, go get yourself used to them big flicks on handbrake and going wide and fast.. also burst lol we run a drift team on fivem TeamBurst LOL
Is it weird if i have a simular driving style to nokai on my simulator? Even down to how he sets off in the car......... this feels sereal right now wtf. Iv never had anyone judge my drifting in the 2 years iv been driving sim. Thanks for letting me know im on the right path!!!!
You need some proper racing crocks like Naoki uses 🤣
that's badass
sammit you're not pushing the car to its full potential also you're using too much handbrake and holding the e brake for too long also not enough clutch kicking, you're not using inertia drift if you watch the comparison video between naoki he clutch kick and uses inertia drift also naoki only pulls his e brake for awhile and pump several time doesnt hold it for too long you're thinking too much, naoki was having fun he literally one with the car he do occasionally mess up but you see he is having fun you're way too tense, you're thinking too much light up sammit let your instinct take over and just have fun and when that happen you will perform
Facts! I also think it’s because he in and out of different cars and don’t spend much time in one to practice and be one with the car. I think he should build that blue s15 and give it much needed air time, focus one that and practice instead of that 1000 hp s15
This is a Great!! 🤟
You need a trip to Ireland!
Try learning without the E brake style?
Wait really? You've never driven this track. Can't wait to see you shred this one day. 👍
0:01 if you 👍 the video exactly at that point than 👍 my comment
If you can be competitive with just an SR engine. Then you will easily compete with the 2jz machine, even with your eyes closed.
another thing that will help a lot is if your are gonna compete in the s15 you need a practice car s15 with the same control arms same suspension and similar tires you don't need crazy power like your comp car but at least get 500-600hp so you get used to a little power with the same setup at as your comp car so when it comes time drive in your comp car all that seat time in your practice replica car it will feel about the same I have a problem when I switch cars all of the time I have to get used to it again before I start driving better by doing this it helped me a lot
Or just simplify the comp car. Naoki was using cut nuckles on his 1000 hp S15 for years.
I think one of the ways to progress is by realizing you aren't the best. There's always room for improvement, build a simple seat time s13 and just go drive a bunch of fun days. Have fun.
okinawa s15 is now meihan 15
It gives you the feeling that dude suddenly remembers he lives in Japan.. But cool though, i've been waiting for this
you need to build a 250hp b knuckle car
With drifting it seems u ether have it or don’t. It’s something that’s hard to learn especially as u get older. Most of the best drifters are at it from 14 years of age.
Ur doing well sammit.
Never say never
That's literally not how learning anything works.
@@SturdivantRacing126 Its called talent! Not everyone has the same level!
@@TheEoinB Driving is a technical sport. If you take the time to educate yourself and practice, you understand how it works and can drive at a high level.
Most people are lazy and don't do their home. I driver coach regularly, and the slowest drivers are the lazy ones.
It seem he doesn’t have a lot of self steering
Que bueno que haya traducción al español
100% need to drive with these guys more this was great, hope I get to see more casey and sammit content in the future 🔥cool dudes
You need for sure more seat time. Every seat time is overall good. But would this type of seat time learn you how to drive in FD? Highly doubt. Naoki in those clips showed nothing what has in common with consistancy, quality tandems etc. FD is not rewarding such type of driving. He is all about running almost straight and banging doors (what he showed with run with Shane) without a reason. His Drift Masters episode showed it even more. Thinking further, it can mess your head EVEN MORE, cause he knows, that he is driving not along the 'needs' of the league...
This looked so fun man !!🔥
what would be the normal hp you would see at meihan?
Awesome content man keep up the hard work
thank youuu, thats actually something i would craft in fics and now is real as it gets
I have no actual real life experience in drifting but steering wise in comparison to Naoki (although he is probably a lot more comfortable in those cars), you seem to be fighting the wheel a bit instead of letting the car selfsteer. Naoki has a very gentle grip with smooth slow movements only slightly correcting to guide the car along the line and yours is a bit more solid and jerky. (best analogy is like a controller player vs a keyboard player). It increases front tire resistance which makes you slower aswell. Try and really zone in to what the lead is doing and predict his moves dont focus on keeping up too much and remember smooth = fast.
Keep up the grind, you're doing amazing man!
Much love
I don't understand how Sam thought it would be feasible to enter F1 of drifting without having gone through or won in F4, F3 and F2, to give an example, and trying to reach the top. Maybe he has a lot of talent but he lacks the competitive experience of many years that these guys from FDJ1 have, and in the little time he has doing it, he has to drive a car that has a very limited operating window and from which he cannot yet squeeze out all its capabilities. It is not surprising that it is a titanic task to get past a qualifying event every time
looked like so much fun. I agree you should build a car ASAP, faster u build it the faster u can start getting reps. Also not perfect cars, in not perfect weather conditions, is probably the best thing to get better I would assume. Takes that much more finesse
In principle I can agree with what you are doing but I do think that you are letting things get to your head when you don't need to. Going down this route I would not think is going to be effective when you are already in the top level series in Japan.
The path that will be more rewarding for you should be a two pronged plan with someone like Fausto testing your pro car and getting some feedback because currently your S15 looks twitchy in comparison to others in the field. And secondly I would say to rebuild the old pink S15 using all the same suspension, arms and drivetrain as what you use in the pro car but with a low power engine so you can have a seat time S15 and learn to dial in your settings and hopefully transfer this data over to your pro program.
sim rig?
I bet he was pissing himself over no helmets wearing shorts no suit. No seatbelt seems like or maybe there is type of drifting. I would be a bitch and put a helmet on but it's fucking awesome at the same time watching naoki Drift Off Track inches from another car😂 that was peak greatness right there. This video was definitely one of your top ones.
D corse fellt like School corse but whed out the islends lol
Ive never heard any more true words come out from anyone, ive always told everywhere do not start with a high horsepower car because people will skip important fundamentals and technique that you cannot learn in a car above 300 hp
I had the opportunity to drive with Naoki in the states a while back, and he drove my car with me in the passenger seat. I have never learned so much watching him drive from that point of view, mostly the way he can keeps a cars speed up by not driving at big angle, such an important skill to have! Glad to see you're trying to get better.
daaaamn!! u DEF has to be all ur vaccines checked before u get inside of one of that cars!! lololol but it looks SOOOOO fun!!!
