Unlike most members and other content creators of the sim drifting community, Kame Trick actually began drifting in real-life instead of the virtual world. “I mean, you can drift on huge amounts of maps with a wide choice of cars, for example you can visit legendary places like Ebisu Circuits or even Akina Touge from InitialD,” Shifter clarifies. The appreciation for the modding community seems to stretch through most parts of the virtual drifting scene, as these people enable the options that attract most of the new members of the community. Shifter clearly agrees on his fellow creator’s point. Tandems at Grange!

#Rfactor 2 drift mod#
I have so much respect and appreciation for the drift mod community that continues to push the limits and release content for these titles every few months.
The sim drifting community is well-served by arcade titles, but those who crave a true drifting simulation are a small and scrappy bunch: we don’t get much love from game developers, and the opportunities we do have to enjoy sim drifting exist on the shoulders of a modding community bringing proper drifting assets into titles like Assetto Corsa and Live For Speed. According to Kame Trick, a lot of the members have to put in their own work to keep the scene growing: On the other side, the online community sometimes struggles to find mediums for their passion.

According to Kame Trick, the real-life drifting community can be described as “a small but tight-knit group of drivers and fans” with a very pleasant social climate. While still growing, the community of dedicated drifters and drifting-enthusiasts is still not the most eye-catching one in the esports racing scene. The funny thing about drifting is also that you can transform even a few turns into a section with so many points to “grind”, just to get this one perfect, stylish run. Shifter describes it pretty accurately:įor me the most fascinating thing about drifting is the feeling of getting the car sideways, which is impossible to describe in words. It is not a big surprise that a lot of the fascination the drifting and sim drifting communities originates in the spectacular nature of the stunt. Squealing tires, billowing smoke and the smell of rubber are just the icing on the cake in this dramatic scene.

A unique spectacle on the trackĭrifting is a marvelous thing to watch: deliberately turning the car sideways, the driver still remains in absolute control, creating the ultimate stunt.
Today, his channel boasts about 20,300 subscribers who regularly watch his drifting challenges in Assetto Corsa, BeamNG.drive and other titles. Drifting challenges quickly began to excite him more than the regular grip races and movies like The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift also did their part to bring Shifter to the scene. The 17-year-old has been dragged into the esports racing scene by titles such as Gran Turismo 4 or the Forza franchise. Polish content creator Shifter is our second drifting connoisseur. Kame Trick impresses with real-life and virtual drifting proficiency. By now, he has moved mostly to in-game drifting action in Assetto Corsa and entertains about 17,300 subscribers on YouTube with drift challenges, streams and occassional game reviews. Drifting, however, has only come to him through real-life practice in his 1991 Nissan 240SX. After that, home console titles like Pole Position (1983), Out Run (1986) and Super Off Road (1989) have kept him in the scene.
Two racing veterans gone driftingĬontent creator Kame Trick has been hooked on racing games ever since the late Atari and NES days. We invited two representatives of the drifting scene to show you the wondrous world of squealing tires and spectacular turns. But things change remarkably in the sub-communities of the scene: drifting has come forth as a unique esports discipline, altering the ever-unchanging course of race cars and – again quite literally – turning them sideways. Sim racing is a pretty straightforward esport – quite literally, even. The content creators Kame Trick and Shifter introduce you to the marvelous world of drifting.
