Learning to Drift on Assetto Corsa - Tips and Tricks to Get Started

Are you looking to learn how to drift on Assetto Corsa? In my last video I talked about how I recommend buying a Sim Drifting setup instead of an actual drift car to learn how to drift because the transition from sim to real life is surprisingly natural. In this video I break the learning process down into a few small steps to help folks build the skills needed to start drifting. Depending on your driving experience it can take days, weeks, or even months to really get to the point where you're laying down some consistently smooth drifts. While that can be frustrating it's extremely rewarding when you start seeing progress, and at the same time you're building a set of skills you can translate to real life.

The community has been great and I'd very much like to pay it forward and help anyone looking else looking to get into drifting for the first time. Any burning questions as someone wanting to learn how to drift? Send them my way and I'll either respond or cover in a future video. This video is part of a continuing series that covers my transition from sim to the real thing more in-depth, including tips and tricks, building my car, and so on.
