reverse entry

[DragsNitemare]

How do you do a reverse entry what's the concept behind the tune/ car set up etc

Nice one! Although I usually don't consider drifts like that to be real reverse entries unless the rear is pretty far ahead. I'm not saying that wasn't a reverse entry though, it clearly was and it was impressive any way you look at it.

Wow, contradiction at its finest! You don't consider it a reverse entry but your not saying it wasn't? What?

I wouldn't consider it a reverse entry if I had done it, is what I'm saying. Sorry for not making much sense, I meant to clarify that I don't consider my own drifts to be reverse entries unless the rear is noticeably farther than the front. I hope that makes more sense, but I wouldn't blame you if it doesn't.

So how do you flick the car to do one. That is the question

Watch the video closely, he flicks it very early and uses the gas to get to about 90 degrees, then he pulls the handbrake to get it just past 90 degrees and to maintain the angle. As he approaches the corner entrance, he releases the handbrake and gets back on the gas. I hope that makes sense, it's more of something you learn to do naturally.

I actually hit the reverse button to get the tires spinning in the opposite direction for a second. But there's many ways to do it.

I just noticed that, I've never seen that before, but it obviously works.

manji into it... let's say the first corner of tsukuba. When you practice often you'll know where is a good place to start your drift from. I use the wall at the end of the pit as my guide.

First i drift towards the wall right before it ends and weight transfer as hard as you can without oversteering as your car is 90 degrees dont get on the gas until you see the corner or you know it's about that time to give gas to keep it sideways.

Talking about reverse entrys, why dont you watch and learn this was when i drifted with controller (g27 now) but it was a cool entry.

Still makes zero sense. 👍

Sorry, like I said I don't blame you. There isn't really a good way of explaining what I mean. I'll try to explain one more time, if this doesn't make sense, then, just forget about it.

When I drift, I wouldn't consider it to be a reverse entry if the entry was at the angle shown in Justdrifts video, I would still consider that to be a 90 degree entry. But when I enter like Datadrainer did, I would consider that to be a reverse entry.

A reverse entry drift in a nutshell​

To perform a reverse entry, most of the time you will have to use the e-brake to maintain control of the car past 90 degrees. If the angle of the drift does not exceed 90 degrees, then it is simply not a reverse entry, period. It helps to have a car with a decent tune for drifting and to have slight understeer on entry. The understeer on entry will help you to straighten out once you're near the inner apex.

If you drive without ABS, then you can press the brake pedal hard to lock up all four wheels which will usually lock the car's drifting angle but this might be seen as cheating to some people.

 

[JustDrift893]

Its ok i get what your saying. 90 degrees and up is considered reverse. I think i did good in that video considering the corner i reversed into had a long exit turn and i had to maintain speed to pull threw. More angle may have not let me pull through. Its actually more easy to reverse into a tight corner such as a hair pin because you can really get backwards and not have to worry about such a high speed exit after wards.

Like i did here...

Good reverse entry there, and I also like how the clouds have a slight gold tint to them, it really looks nice.

Thanks, weird special effect I tested

 

[Bluntified]

I love watching 3rd person vids! Makes me appreciate it more, seeing the hand work.

Looks good justdrift,

It made perfect sense but I still can't do it.

 

[BenBurroughs]

Sorry for the DP but my PS3 browser just sits and sits and sits and sits and sits when I try to edit. Is entering a turn with the rear of the car close to the inside and the wheel locked in the direction of the turn anything? When I heard about reverse entry this was my first thought but now I'm just wondering. I do it all the time on the Cape Ring spiral bridge, particularly when I initiate late and the weight of the car pulls the rear toward the inside. Looks cool, but I get the feeling that it just means I can' drift. Which is correct. Anyway.

Thanks man, I love the onboard videos too!

Nah you guys helps me get the concept. Atleast for me as long as I get the concept I can figure it out

 

[anthaliscious]

If you dont have a wheel reverse entries are going to be a b!tch because you can get nearly half the steering angle you can on a controller. You cant just tell someone how to do a reverse entry regardless if you know how doesnt mean you can do it and do it consistantly, not get lucky and do it 1 out of 20 tries. Now I'm not gonna sit here and brag about myself and post videos because it teaches you nothing,there are many on my channel but drooling over them will get you nowhere. Only thing thats gonna help you is how your suspension is set up to how you like it, doing a reverse entry is entirely how you like to drive the car. Get comfortable with the car you are driving, dont constantly change youre car because it "doesnt work" you have to keep experimenting with it and find where you are most comfortable with it.

Edit: And before you consider anything a "reverse entry" you better make damn sure you keep all the angle you started with, dont understeer and loose the angle you began with to gain control like mostly everybody on here does.

Very well said, and what you said in the edit is important. You can't honestly say it's a reverse entry if all of the angle is lost, so I'm glad you brought that up. Now, I'm off to find more reverse entry videos.

Anyone happen to notice what I asked a little while back? I'd rather not start a new thread but I'm still kind of curious. Is steering into the turn with the tail of the car on the inside anything other than a poor attempt at drifting? I'm fine if that's all it is, I know I can't drift.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it will give you oversteer and cause you to spin out.

Also, it's not good to aim for "poor", you should set your standards higher lol. Not just in drifting, but for your whole life

Edit: @Turtle and Ant, were you referring to the videos that were posted here? I thought those were good examples of reversed entries, I didn't see any loss of angle, especially the on-board clip.

 

[BenBurroughs]

Poor isn't the aim, it's just the current standard. I'm constantly making an effort to improve in all manner of car (without looking like too much of a tool; my 407hp (stock power), 1250kg (stock weight) Zonda C12 may be crossing the line, though it initiates and transitions absolutely effortlessly). As for the question, I was actually referring to holding a slide with the rear of the car on the inside and the wheel locked in the direction of the turn. I regularly accidentally do it on the spiral bridge at Cape Ring due to the steep bank and minimal CH grip.

No, I wasn't, I already talked to Justdrift about it, he thought I was talking about him too, I wasn't talking about him.

Many ways to do it, Practice every way then you will know that the possibilities are endless 👍

Thanks man, i dont think iv seen any other reverse entrys onboard. They make way more sence, and show how the wheelwork is actually done. These days vids are filled with unesessary special effects with different colors flashing in your face and what not I like to keep it simple.

It made perfect sense but I still can't do it.

Glad it helped 👍 just keep at it

Nah you guys helps me get the concept. Atleast for me as long as I get the concept I can figure it out

Nice, Good Luck !

not get lucky and do it 1 out of 20 tries.

there are many on my channel

dont change youre car

1. Wow Ant that deeply saddens that you think im some noob that lands a reverese once in a blue moon. My bad OG i guess i should have uploaded the WHOLE video right away.
Two Reverse Entrys in a row
Make your own luck.

2. Yes but... Maybe none of the videos on your channel show the acceleration meter or wheel work while The reverse is being done. Hey didnt you post your reverse entry video in a thread like this a while back? I think so.

3. Most People have 3 or so main cars.

The videos helped some people...
Now please just leave it alone, if there's anything you want to say you can write me a PM.

No, I wasn't, I already talked to Justdrift about it, he thought I was talking about him too, I wasn't talking about him.

I thought so too... Thanks again blunt 👍
