The Differences Between Drifting And Powersliding

what if you have a car without a handbrake.... like my stupid golf r... it has some switch that locks the wheels, but you cant mess around with it like a hand brake

Short: powersliding is when it’s fwd, and drifting is when it’s rwd.


Ima make a book called: how this guy stretched a 6 second story into 9 fucking minutes

Video of him learning

First make a video how to get a car

This is the best video to watch if you like staring at the sun

Lol I power slide in every bend I guess

Powersliding is fun AF when you got a bit more space but wanna jolt of energy.

So the two are defined by how you initiate the slide? Isn't that what they call splitting hairs?

Alex is the real DK

Can you drift without a handbrake and only the brake pedal?

I got a E90 320d. How's it for drifting?

I can powerslide my 2002 Toyota 4 runner now. Thanks guys!

Drifting is basically power sliding through the whole turn

Takumi 100% driftin

Editor: How many same shots of the same power slide do you want to use?

Car throttle: Yes

My problem is when let's say I'm going on a left corner I turn left and give it gas when the car drifts as usual you turn your steering right to keep going but when I do that then the car gains grip and throws its self to the right side how can I improve my steering speed

Great vid. Didn't know the difference before. Drifting looks epic, don't get me wrong, but I reckon the power sliding looks more subtle and elegant. Less of a "look at me!!!" attention seeking move.

I don’t know who tf called you a bad ass driver but that shit was one of the wackiest driving skills 😂

do not try this at home or in public

Funny thing is I've been doing this self taught/naturly without even thinking about the steps. I can't even explain the steps like in the video

Here after watching Tokyo Drift...😏

I had to put on my sunglasses to watch this video.

Drifting is working the parking brake, power slide is All 4 wheels sliding at 110

AT lovers: "wtf is clutch !!"

Power slide right at the beginning nice

It’s wild you even have to make a video about the difference. Car things isn’t for everybody

Never ever lift your foot off the throttle just apply less otherwise your letting the full weight of the car go and have no control

your powerslide is type of drift by power over....see the drift bible

show us what he’s doing inside the car not slow mo clips of the same car doing the same drift every single clip c’mon

So basically which is easier to do for a low end car like skoda or Volkswagen

Power sliding is drifting, but drifting is not power sliding. Basically

I couldn’t imagine abusing my car like this. Am I a pussy? I think I’m just poor…

Trying to do a power slide in NFS and my friend sent me this video

Still not drifting

don't even need the handbrake, the corner is not that tight

Trouble is where can you actually do this without destroying your car or ending up in prison??

What a load of bollocks. It's just semantics. Drifting is what happens during a powerslide.

Can xdrive powerslide?

Drifting is just powerlifting on purpose 😅

Too bad I can't understand some of what he is saying, due to his accent and talking fast at the same time, then it just so happens to be the most important parts that I can't understand. His accent is too strong! Talking fast wouldnt be a big issue if he didn't have the accent!

FH2 dosnt see the diffrence

I understand you wanted all the attention mate, but it would have been more useful if the camera was pointing forward with a view of the steering wheel, instead of your face.. Im sure your mother loves this video

My question is where the hell this arbitrary definition even comes from. Alternate title suggestion: what random dude thinks the difference is between drifting and powersliding

Honestly, i think an actual drifter should be the one to explain it

Great video as always

Ever heard of driving brakes?

Power slide makes laptime faster. drift make laptime slower

Still confused.

Is this car all wheels drive?
