someone who is so talented because on one hand i'm a bit nervous but on the other hand i know that those drivers who learn from the simulator they are very talented so i can't wait to see that yeah i'm excited to see that too let's talk about the car a little bit this car done you incredibly well this year you won the 2021 drift masters european championship in it tell us a little bit about the

yeah and did you ever drive the left-hand drive by the way um i drove one car what's the drive okay so it will be a double experience so yeah i think first of all what i would love to do is put you inside and check simply how to adjust the seat so you will be comfortable please be my guest from my experience comparing one word to the other we don't have so many you know g-forces you don't feel what's going on inside the car yeah yeah yeah i i cannot wait to now see you behind the steering wheel of this thing because give me this opportunity oh that's a pleasure that's pleasure for now is it so far yeah yeah it's rubbish i know we didn't even start the car but first time being the car s this this bad like crazy i'm speechless it also means a lot to me so seriously even though we didn't even start the career so yeah that's well peter peter let's slow down a second before reese gets a chance to drive the car why don't you take him for a few laps and show him exactly what this piece can do yeah why not you ready for this yeah don't wait [Music] so come on push the start button and there you go [Music] [Music] you um okay so would you like to try it right now you ready [Music] well reese you just had a passenger ride how was that that was amazing oh my god my heart's going well now it's time for you to take the rain to the uh chariot and uh see how you get on are you anxious excited but i can't wait well you got the you've got the perfect teaching instructor next year so good luck and have plenty of fun but you feel weird yeah it is it is you know but i'm more more anxious about how you feel you know you're good yeah i'm feel killed okay excellent that's great okay whenever you're ready [Music] acceleration no acceleration [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] uh [Laughter] me [Music] can help [Music] all right [Music] um [Applause] wow [Music] oh my amazing i can't believe it hey to be honest i don't know about you peter but i think he nailed it i think it was a very good man if you could tell how nervous i am during the first class kick but then on the second transition i can see that he's controlling the car with the clutch and really good steering wheel applications i was like okay he's natural you know he was doing like like cruising for like three or four years really or even more so uh a little bit more confident yeah that last one felt a lot more i'm getting better with the throttle yeah getting back to the important steering yeah amazing how good is this car come on brilliant that's great the grip is crazy as well well look we're gonna cut some fresh tires off here we're gonna let go back out [Music] so i think that i was only a balance for you to be honest no i'm just feeling that i was just a balance for you okay so now i'll let you drive by yourself so you can be fully in control of the car how do you feel about that yeah yeah totally that's fine with me i'm cool with that thank you very much as you did already yeah so she likes it she enjoys the company thank you very much [Music] so after a quick crash course in drifting from peter vinsec in his own car reaches out on track now against the same time of his own um oh my you very good [Music] uh we got one more set of tires for you you want to use them you can maybe try some thunder i'm down yeah [Music] well i'm not sure if you've just heard what peter said to reece but he said one last surprise a fresh pair of tires and they're gonna get to go tandem together what an insane opportunity [Music] oh [Music] [Music] hey good [Music] so so [Music] [Music] that's the kind of reaction i thought i was going to get from you after that how was that having peter chase you down he's r34 amazing and that was it chasing him oh even bad so overall you've had an amazing day yeah we loved it yeah every second of it been you look like from the moment i met you this morning you were really nervous really anxious and then now you're like i don't think anything's going to take that smile of your face for a few days at least that's for sure why not well look congratulations on winning the 2021 dmvc um congratulations to being able to jump in peter's championship winning s15 and do such a sterling job i know peter is eager to come in and have a chat you've done an incredible job today thank you very much it was a blast it was a blast you know i tried to uh you know catch you a bit it's just you can see me in the other side but it was great fun for me it was great fun to to see the s15 from this side you know from the outside enjoyed it thank you very much and man you treated really well the car is perfectly one piece as it was before and once for more but maybe next time you you will be here next time you think who knows look all i'm having to say is you've got two champions in front of me both in their own right and it's been an absolute honor to be here today so congratulations to both you guys thank you do you really like anything i revise could be better um you see that slower i was driving with bigger anger problems the good idea is to just increase the angle and then stay on the left foot you know and then i applied the left foot still i think you could you've managed to experience how it is to be you know in the back to find yourself in a small kind of transitions and stuff like that this is like my dream card [Music] so there we go there's a wrap here in poland at the yastrab or odroma and rhys has had an incredible day if you want to be just like reese and get that opportunity well keep your eye out on all the driftmaster socials because early in 2022 dmvc is back

Sims are getting crazy these days and there's been plenty that did nearly all their training in one that transitioned to real racing.

[u/A_Vicarious_Death]

This video was so crazy. I loved how completely deadpan he was while the dude next to him was so excited after the first drift.

Honestly crazy to see how far sims have come, and how the skill actually transfers over to real life driving.

Sim driver's an absolute madlad for doing this in a 900hp silvia though lmao

[u/cantreachy]

I can see the Pro driver thinking "I gotta get a sim."

i'm not all that surprised as drifting is relatively low G. What would be really hard is actual racing in cars that exert alot of force on your neck(Endurance, F1, sportscar, etc) but you could train for it I suppose.

I remember doing real kart racing and thinking how hard it was on my body. After a couple sessions I really didn't have another one in me. Its incredible the amount of physical effort goes into motorsports.

Does anyone know the best way to get Into Sim racing? Is it better to go all in or is a cheaper setup still viable?

[u/kimbabs]

That's pretty phenomenal.

I have no experience in a sim or true performance driving, but driving at the edge for me the few times I've done it was mostly on 'feeling'. This guy has none of that experience or sensory input when sim driving, but he's obviously gotten so good at driving/drifting to the point of being able to do it in a real, incredibly high powered and modified car he's never been in before with virtually no instruction needed.

[u/CoyotePuncher]

This is surprising. I would figure something like drifting would not transfer over well due to the lack of feeling in the sim

[u/OzmodiarTheGreat]

What’s the tl;dw, for those of us who aren’t into videos?

[u/WSB_stonks_up]

That was fun to watch.

For anyone wondering the "sim" is a game called Assetto Corsa from 2014, there is a newer game called Assetto Corsa Competizione, I wonder if they will transition the virtual championship to the new one.
