AWD Drifting

[BertBert2019GT]

Tires plural. Open diffs will spin both if traction is equal. I broke lose going straight 30 mph and the ass end kicked out about a foot before my 1 second was up.
Tork motorsports has a you tube of his open diff GT doing a nice long 2 tire burn out.

Yes! But a burnout, power slide and drifting are different things. I’m curious what the threshold is for “equal” traction on these open differentials because when you’re drifting the amount of traction each wheel is going to have depending on approach, radius, incline, surface material/quality, weight distribution, etc etc etc traction is going to change throughout the execution of the drift. then to repeat it consistently corner after corner.

have u tried pulling the fuse I want to try it but I’m scared to do it.

I have pulled the fuse. I still get the torque vectoring killing my drifts. There’s nothing to be afraid of! The diff has electronic clutches that engage the front wheels so when you pull the fuse it just keeps those from engaging and only uses the rear wheels.

As was mentioned it's not the torque vectoring it's your open diff. As your slip angle increases your inside rear tire has less and less traction. Due to the open diff your outer rear tire now has a lower wheel speed while your inside rear is lighting up. The result is a lot of smoke, and not a lot of drift. Hope that helps

I get that but I can feel and hear the car applying the brakes to the individual wheels to try and straighten the car out. Even with traction and stability control turned “off”.

I have an AWD GTS, I haven't had an opportunity to try and drift more than once (No good place to do it as all the parking lots in Cleveland are also pothole minefields). I had difficulty breaking traction for more than a second or two.

I'm thinking the determining factor is getting enough speed. I've been driving around with the fuse pulled for my second attempt sometime soon hopefully.

GRS should be the same as the G70. I turn wheel and floor it and it will drift. Same issue lack of space to have safe fun.

GTS sorry

GTS sorry

I'm working up the courage over several weeks to just go to a nicer lot at like 3am and hope there are no cops around. The selection was better when everything was closed due to COVID...
