Movie Reviews of Best Motoring - Drift Bible
Movie Review: Very friendly course
Summary: 5 Stars
This video demonstrates six different drift techniques: side (e-brake), shift lock (brute change to a lower gear), power over (wheel-spin of the rear), braking (weight transition), feint (turn back and forth) and lift off (release of throttle at high revs).
Keiichi Tsuchiya first shows and explains these methods bit-by bit using "S14 Silvia" car on the second hairpin at a Ebisu circuit going counter-clockwise, with various camera angles, from inside and outside the car. Besides the steering wheels and the pedals, you can always see the gauges of the force of the application of brake and gas pedal. The very neat feature, "G-Ball", will indicate the weight transition in each corner, as well as during the acceleration and braking.
Tsuchiya provides fair theoretical explanations of the methods, and shows the correct drifts and the common mistakes. The English soundtrack has more than seven thousand words in total. Just as an example, here is how this video explains the "shift lock" drift: "Notice that Tsuchiya's right foot is not doing the heel-and-doe move.... Kick the gas, all the way in third gear, brake, steer, than boom, he let the clutch go without using heel-and-toe. The rear will suddenly lock. Then you slide, countersteer from here. Rest is the same as the side brake drift. The corner entry procedure is the same as the side brake drift. The important point here is when to release the clutch. Tsuchiya lets off the clutch just as he easies off the brake and steers in. His braking only lasts for two seconds. It's like brake, brake, gas. The tail slides a curve right as he steers to the corner. This is how the car starts drifting from the corner entrance."
After demonstrating the six basic techniques, Tsuchiya show on the Maze circle how different cars (oversteered/neutral-steered/understeered, overpowered/underpowered, classical/new) react to different drift methods, and which modifications to the driving style are required to make these cars drift.
The examples are shown only with rear-wheel-drive cars, but if you omit the "shift lock" and "power over" techniques, you will be able to use the all methods on the forward-wheel-drive cars without any special adjustment.
The DVD has English and Japanese soundtracks, but the big drawback is that is has no opportunity to turn on the subtitles.
