1000 Days of Drift - Day 17 - Slightly faster drifting on Akagi in this slow AE86.

I can see that my times are getting faster, but I still have so much that I don't understand about how the car is reacting or what I should be doing to link some of these corners together. I'm learning a little bit more each time about when to brake and shifting at the right time to cause the drift to start. The main thing I'm starting to notice is how much rotation I need to give the car in the corners. There's a big difference between getting drift angle and forcing enough rotation on the car to power through the corner and face the right direction at the end.

I'm still very early days into this challenge and have such a long way to go.

This weekend coming I'm going to do some research and try and find some more togue passes. But I'm thinking about changing the rotation to try and master one specific course at a time. As in, one day Akina, the next a random other course, then back to Akina. That way I'm driving one track more consistently while getting some variety to break it up in between. I don't want to get too many tracks downloaded and struggle to remember them by the time they come back around in my rotation.

I've got myself a pretty basic racing sim setup with a Meta Quest 3 and a Logitech G923. I've wanted to learn to drift on Assetto Corsa for a long time, so I decided to challenge myself to accumulate 1000 days of drifting practice. I'm not unrealistic, there will be days I miss for special occasions and being sick. But when I reach the 1000 day total, I will reward myself with a day at the track with professional drifting instructors.
