that these cars would almost never be well within the limits of grip you've got to respect the absolute nut jobs that drove these things at their top speeds back in the day instead of driving around their track these cars were in a consistent state of both understeer and oversteer allah a four-wheel drift so yes the four wheel drift has been around for a very long time even fangio said it was the fastest way of cornering all the way back in the NUMBER_TOKENs however the reason these old-school drivers slid more is that the optimum tire grip was a lot lower so with the otherworldly tyres in comparison we have today is the four wheel drift really still as good as it's hyped up to be let's find out but before that i want to give a shout out to arcade gaming for doing the driving on this video it wouldn't have been possible without him as my sim rig is still broken so go and check out his channel link is in the description in a four wheel drift where your front wheels are pointed is the direction you'll go therefore keeping the accelerator on the floor is essential for the four-wheel drift as you need to keep the front wheel spinning with this in mind you can imagine that the four-wheel drift is an extremely versatile technique if there's ever a corner that you'll need to break substantially for mashing the throttle and four-wheel drifting around the turn is a sure-fire way to shave off those precious milliseconds once the driver has mastered the four-wheel drift they can take corners at almost unbelievable speeds much like we see in rally this is what makes all-wheel drive cars so overpowered on the toegay you can really chuck them into corners and get out the other side unscathed while also staying on the throttle the entire time it actually becomes hard to crash at all once you get accustomed to the four spinning wheels as it will pull you out of almost any sticky situation so is the four wheel drift actually useful today very much so it is an invaluable skill to have in your driver toolbox especially so if you love an all-wheel drive car make sure you carry on watching to learn how to do the four-wheel drift but before i show you how to do it let me take up the NUMBER_TOKEN seconds of this video to remind you to subscribe if you are enjoying the video so far only a tiny percentage of my viewers are actually subscribed and it would mean a lot if you did thanks now full disclosure there isn't one method to do a four-wheel drift in fact you can use any drift initiation method you like but it's more about what you do after the initiation that counts so i'm going to show you some of my favorite initiations for the four-wheel drift and show you what it needs to do afterwards to actually enter one the first method to enter a four-wheel drift i'll be covering today is trail braking trail braking is a great way of entering a four-wheel drift as it is a much safer way of doing so instead of throwing the car in at full speed it gives you an opportunity to enter the corner at whichever speed you like so the braking drift is done by lightly applying brake pressure just before you enter the corner when you break the weight of the car shifts to the front axle as you would have seen in my inertia drift tutorial this means the rear tyres have significantly less grip and if
