Snow Drift 1M Coupe

[Moo]

I'm starting to think those 1M car ads from BMW (concrete, helipad) are real, and driven by Advevo

I gave the answer already, its about steering inputs. I you dont want the car to transition but you want it to slow while maintaining the slide than you can use careful brake application.


But you dont use the brakes to control the angle of the slide.

I use my left foot for braking. I keep throttle with my right foot that s were i control the drift angle with. With my left on the brake i control the speed in the slide. So if the entry speed to the next corner is too high i left foot brake in the slide and maintain the angle with throttle. So you need to have a very good feel in both feet, you need to be perfect.

sometimes in a long drift you see still the brake light. Thats because on the road i always have my left foot on the brake pedal in cornering or drifts. That s also for safety reasons. If the grip changes i can react fast to get the speed out of the car/drift.

Hope this explains.

Here is very old movie from me (bad quality) were you have footage of left foot braking in drifting.

I also use left foot braking in racing cars because you can react faster. I learned at 9 years old when i started racing Karts.

Here is movie me using left foot braking in racing car. I am the driver with the blue suede shoes

more breaking and much less clutching then I expected.

Your teammate seems to prefer right foot breaking (heel toe style), remarkable difference in technique.

Nice stuff, always a joy to watch, keep those videos coming. And even better to get your personal commentaries on them!!

Advevo has an AW and a BSM.

Are you sure? I always thought he has some stock in Plastidip®.

Anyway, we had a fun time last wednesdaynight without snow but a bit wet passing trees sideways > 100mph/160kmh. Handbraketurns. I almost felt sorry for the black 1M

No need to change my wheels this week Andre, what do you think? No snow just 0-2/3 celsius thursday and friday. We 'll see.

Cheers

Great driving fun over there ...........

Time for a visit an enjoy those skills once more..

[Advevo]

yeah you need to visit and talk cars and drifts and racing again.

[Redlyne_mr2]

just jamming.. awesome

Great!

Snow over The Netherlands and Belgium since last Monday.

Hm, I got a sneaky suspicion that Snow Drift ///Meister Advevo is skidding and drifting around these days.

Okay André, enlighten us all, please give us some tips and tricks on how to get away from a snowy uphill/steep road with a 1M: the official driving school tips ...and your personal tips (also DSC Off + ///M Mode off + 2nd gear + avoid braking/losing pace ?).

The point is, the 1M has the Automatic Hill Assist (uphill anti-rollback) as standard feature. Hence, impossible to deactivate (except through coding maybe or if you start coordinating clutch + neutral gear). So, as soon as you push the brake, you lose the momentum (got to wait for a second or two before the 1M starts to roll back). With the M3 SMGII it was not automatically activated feature: activate at will by operating the left shift paddle (however, more difficult to resume moving on uphill slippery road surfaces after a standstill, compared to a manual transmission [where your choice of gear is not overruled by the ECU management]).

It snowed up here in CT today and I was having the same thought!

Where Advevo and I live was/ is no snowfall atm unfortunately.
But he was drifting yesterday in snowy aereas /roads about 30 miles from where we live he told me yesterday.

I had some great slides this morning. Cold tarmac plus Hankook Winterplus 225 40 18 square setup =

[Advevo]

Yesterday we had some snowfall. I was off course on the road. Lot s of fun.

We don t have manny hills overhere. So don t know how the car reacts on hill assist.

[Advevo]

A short one on wet snowy roads.
