Hey guys- ChrisFix here. And today, we are taking the Drift Stang to the track and we're going drifting.
Now, this isn't a normal video.
You're gonna be sitting shotgun with me, in the passenger seat, as we go around the track. And this isn't a normal video because
right now, you're looking through a
180-degree camera. This is a cutting-edge, high-tech, camera. Basically, what it allows you to do is: You're able to look around.
So if you're on a desktop computer,
you could grab the mouse, grab the screen, click, and drag, and you're able to look around.
If you're using a cellphone, you can grab the cellphone, move it around like this and look around.
If you're lucky enough to have a virtual reality goggle, you could go and use that and you literally just turn your head and look around. And the idea is: we're gonna be
shredding tires just like this. And you're gonna be able to get in the car with me and ride along.
It's gonna be a blast.
I understand not everybody could make it out to the charity ride alongs I do, and get in the passenger seat. The ones- the subscribers that
get to do that, they're super lucky. They have a blast,
it's so much fun, but not everybody could come out to where I am and get into the passenger seat.
So here's your chance, right now in this video, to do that.
So what we're gonna do is: we're gonna jump in the drift car and you're able to go passenger seat and look around.
So let's go ahead to the track. We'll get our our helmets on and we'll go out and drift.
Aright, so, we're lined up on grid and
this is front track. Just paying attention over here,
if you want to look down this way, see what I'm doing with my hands and feet.
This is the hydraulic e-brake, you'll see me clutching with my left foot and
pull the hydro. And that allows your car to slide out more.Then if you see me just tap in the clutch like this,
that's called, "clutch kicking." And that that gives the
drivetrain a shock. And that allows you to snap the rear end out
so you get more angle. The key, the key,
the most important thing is: we want this first turn, you'll see if we go straight. This first turn, we want to be extra wide
and carry a lot of speed. We're gonna go into this turn at 60 miles an hour.
So if we can carry speed through that turn and go extra wide, all that momentum is gonna pull through the rest of the course
and we're gonna have a great run. So, let's see what we can do.
Alright, here we go, a ride-along in the Drift Stang. Since this is our first run,
let's warm up the tires so we don't have under-steer. Shift into second.
And
remember:
we need to hit 60 miles an hour for the first turn. And there's 60. So initiate with the e-brake. And this is gonna scrub
some speed when it sets us up on the right line. That's a little tight there.
So let's see if we can swing the rear around to the edge of the track.
Beautiful, that was perfect. Now just a dab of e-brake to pull the front
away from those tires. And pay attention to my hands with the steering wheel and how smooth everything is.
There's no jerking of the steering wheel, no flailing around. It's just nice and smooth.
If it looks like you're swatting bees inside your drift car, you're doing something wrong. Now
we're getting up close to the spectators in the stands, and they're on the right.
So give them a wave. And now, it's time to ride the wall and we don't want to mess up here.
Otherwise, we'll go into the wall.
And the nice thing about this car is it's got air conditioning.
Everybody else is like really high. I got my windows rolled up and we are nice and comfortable.
Okay, now we're on the back track which is completely different Watch this,
I'm gonna flick the car towards the trees and give her a clutch kick to initiate this first turn which is a long,
decreasing radius turn, that goes uphill.
So we need to stay as close to the left edge coming over the hill and
make sure we stay on the power. For the second turn,
I'm gonna hit the e-brake just to slow the car down a little bit
so we don't slide off the track. And the track has a ton of dirt and mud on it. So there's no grip at all,
so, let's be careful not to spin out. And we're cutting that last corner
so close. But we could power through and there we go. Woo, baby!
Alright!
I haven't done the back track in a while, but that felt awesome.
Okay, last run of the day and we're going back onto the front track. I'm gonna be quiet this run.
So, you guys just hang on, enjoy, and have a look around.
That's what you call- that is what you call a dirt drop. (Laughing) Oh, man. Woo!
He's got covered.
So that was a good day of drifting. That was a blast. The car did awesome and we did awesome.
This was insane. I hope you guys enjoyed the ride because that is a
once-in-a-lifetime thing.To be able to get in a drift car. I hope that the VR thing is really cool.
I hope you guys enjoyed that and you got to try it out and use it.
This is uh- if this works out, this is something I'll definitely do again.
Let me know in the comments below if this was good. If you enjoyed it, if you like
were able to look around see me clutch
kick, look to the side. As always,
if you enjoyed the video, remember to give the video a thumbs up. And if you're not a subscriber,
consider hitting that subscribe button for more videos-
maybe like this. We'll see how the VR goes, But definitely more how-to videos and some more drifting videos. And then, as always,
thank you guys for all the support. And I hope you enjoyed this. This was really cool. This was a great day
