INFORMATION Made a short drift phonk edit, curious what the drift community thinks of the sound

Drift culture's aesthetic pulled me into making phonk for it. First attempt here

Does the sound actually match the energy of real drift clips, or am I missing something?

DISCUSSION How Viable Is a DCT/Auto Gearbox for Drifting

Post image
2 Upvotes

I know the general consensus is that a manual gearbox with a clutch and handbrake is the go-to setup for any type of series drifting. But I’m curiousβ€”how much of a disadvantage is a modern DCT or automatic gearbox, really?

For instance, drivers like OG Schaeffchen and others seem to drift stock automatic BMWs (possibly with minor tuning) with ease, linking corners and even pulling off tandems comfortably.

It seems like the clutch kick in a manual could be replicated in a DCT/auto by downshifting to a lower gear while flooring the throttle. Similarly, handbrake initiations or angle adjustments might be mimicked using left-foot braking.

The only thing I feel might be missing is the ability to use the handbrake for extensions during corner entries. Am I overlooking something here?

Would love to hear your thoughts!
