Dynamic Drift

I hate to ask n00b assed questions, but what is Dynamic Drift? Is it drifting without corrections? Is it drifting without use of the brakes? What is it? I watched Keiichi's "Drift Bible" and figured it was just a poor translation. The way he put it, it seemed as if he was talking about not using your brakes.
Thank you!
 
See, that is pretty similar to how Keiichi put it. He never said what it WAS, he just said "Now that is dynamic drifting" and "That was almost dynamic drifting, but I used my brakes a little bit".
 
Dynamic drifting is accel-off technique for initiating the drift. That is, the idea is to enter the corner at full throttle or at least with some good acceleration, and then immediately let off the throttle completely while transfering weight to the outside. The sudden change in acceleration will transfer the weight of the car from the rear to the front (similar to the way feint transfers from side to side), putting the rear wheels at a temporary loss of traction. "Temporary" is key here so you must transfer the weight to the outside of the corner during this window of opportunity or you will have to revert to a brake or e-brake drift.

P.S. - Dynamic drifting is practically the only way to link corners, it's by far the easiest and most common except in scenarios where the second corner is tighter than the first. For initiating the first drift though, it's much harder to use accel-off.
 
hmmm... i think its dynamic drifting is to intiate a drift without braking. you just rush in and let of the gas(shift lock) or power over to brake the traction in the begining and let the cars sliding do the braking. well main thing is you dont use the brakes i guess. thats what i think. i do it with my 86 SS all the time.

Shift lock is disengaging the clutch, letting the RPM's drop, then engaging it again to provide a sudden burst of drag on the drivetrain like yanking the e-brake. Can't do shift lock in GT3 though. What you described is accel-off.

I wonder if he's referring to the motion of giving blips of throttle to try to break it loose going into the corner? I noticed Keiichi likes to do that if he hasn't quite achieved his desired level of oversteer. It would explain the term 'dynamic' because he's adapting to the drift as it happens.
 
There is no e-brake in the shift lock method.
Shift lock is just breaking traction by downshifting.
You downshift and stomp the gas after the revs jump really high after the downshift.
It's not a real practical method of initiating drift, but hey, whatever shoots your pistons.

What you describe is just a powerslide. Shift lock describes a method to drag the rear wheels by letting the RPMs drop before engaging the clutch again. It's closer to an e-brake drift than a powerslide. The idea is to cause the rear wheels to lock or slow down enough that the car breaks traction from the inertia.

It's very hard on the clutch and motor mounts. For some reason 86 drivers love using this technique. Personally, I avoid it like the plague.

i have a video of me in my ae86 doing a deep forest lapp no brakes drifting find nk4e's and my battle thread
the link doesn't work anymore,man
 
i think its just letting the rear wheels drag than picking up from there again. when you initiate a drift, it happen all the time if you use the same style as i do. yep well good luck guys.
 
Shift-lock occurs when you dont double-clutch down a gear properly. Usually you'll match the rev's of the gear your changing down before let out the clutch again, making a smooth gear change down, if you dont you'll force the drive-train to change to a different speed. If this difference is great enough the tires will momentarily lock up. Double-clutching is fun for daily driving but serves no real purpose unless you have no sychro, or are using a dogbox for some odd reason.

Its got similarities to engine braking.
