Drivers Republic - Driving Techniques - Power Oversteer

[sotaros93]

6:33 wtf is that bang-like sound?

[Reda8861]

Is it possible to oversteer a diesel engine pick-up truck ???

[Crowie74]

Great vid!!

Can you use the same technique with a 4wd performance car like a 911 turbo, or Lambo?

[Draggis92]

@Crowie74 ofcourse ;) the R8 V10 is perfect for powersliding ;)

[GiveMeThatMango]

e39 is such a sick car!

[gavinsloma]

any one know what that gun shot sound at 6:33 is?

[tab1990]

1:10 what name dose he say?

[steamedturtle]

@tab1990 francois delecour

[puzox]

Good video. Cheers!

[gregherbert123]

That is possibly the dirtiest M5 I have ever seen. I love it.

[thatciggaweed]

chris harris with a beard looks like a shoe bomber

[raze203]

what happened @ 6:33 it sounded like he hit something

[balecbutler]

@raze203 At the start of the second drift, Chris applied throttle aggressively in order to get the rear tires to break traction. The differential may have momentarily locked due to the tires spinning at different rates combined with the sudden application of power. That would have caused the bang you heard.

[WaArTeZz]

that car sounds scary

[evofreak1304]

Get a shave lol

[V8Paul]

No turbo just v8 n/a. Whistle is interference on camera.

[007bondspy]

THE CONCASTINATION WITHIN THE COMMITMENT OF ACTION IS RELEVANT TO CONTROL ON TRANSITION OF THE 4 WHEELS.

[hrach559]

what is that whistling sound?!

[MaddGrimm]

@hrach559 turbo or supercharger maybe gearbox.

[hrach559]

@MaddGrimm sounds interesting..... i had that sound on my M3 before.. it was my water pump lol

[MaddGrimm]

@hrach559 ok thanks i wouldn't never figure out that it could be water pump :D

[9090336]

@hrach559 I think there might be a turbo on the M5 but I'm not sure

[hrach559]

@9090336 what about teh blow off sound? would have been able to hear that no?

[forbello]

yes ken block is a shite rally driver, just check his stats to date for proof. seb loab is in a different universe to block....FACT

[vboytan]

@forbello block is all talk and no action honestly. Has even gotten his car back yet? Since he rolled the shit out of it.

[sashaman1234]

@forbello

Comparing Block to Loeb is like comparing paper to a jet engine. Just throw the paper away, there's no comparison.

[MSzwed]

@forbello seb loeb* is in a different universe compared to most drivers lol... pretty sure hes won more world championships then any other driver in any other discipline

[salmanbioshock]

at 6:33 i thought he hit something ...

[racingfan1083]

@salmanbioshock yeah me too... but apparently that's the diff locking

[IKNOWALLABOUTALL]

Skills to pay the bills.

[ANiMOSiTYZA]

E39 M5 FTW !

[yallnome06]

@ANiMOSiTYZA E46 M3 for the win :)



[hakosuka2]

Could be the sound of the diff locking violently as he changes direction? But yeah chris is like the keiichi tsuchiya of UK...

[basyo1]

did you hit something at 6:30?

Or did the camera bash against something...

[abunaiN1]

respect that man knows what doing.

[TheStallion234]

Does that M5 have an aftermarket supercharger? Does anyone else hear that whine when he hits the throttle?

[shinnyspace]

I love that old 400hp M5

[powerfultoa7]

Love his steering techniques

[HksErald]

Turbo Whistle 

[fabalee15]

hahahahaha...The Drift with a Powerful RWD car is VERY EASY!!!!

LOOK AT THIS (and compare)

watch?v=ANlVlMnuhdI

watch?v=v1KLNiSPF1s

watch?v=ZzRRqK7kmEs

Now, the Master of drifting (Sebastien Loeb)...watch?v=nFekaGfv3KY

[georgibubu]

@fabalee15 What about Ken Block man? He´s also awesome!!!!

[JSlShow]

@georgibubu I like Ken Block for his Gymkhana video and personality. But he crashes 86% of his rally races, almost 0% being the fault of the car. That's horrible, lol!

[georgibubu]

@JSlShow Yeah that´s right.. if you talk about a rally driver, he´s awful.. but if talking about drifting and oversteering, Block has a great handling over his car in gymkhana

[JSlShow]

@georgibubu He's good at handling the gymkhana course because he takes part in the course design and had practice runs, a lot, a little? I don't know. But when it comes to rally and getting used to different terrains and being able to foresight the course, he's awful. But to me if he had good control over his driving, I feel like the amount of car accidents he has during those races shouldn't be that high.

But I like Ken Block, not saying I never liked him or his videos. But maybe a bit overated

[fabalee15]

@georgibubu What???? You compares Ken Block with Seb Loeb (the best WRC driver ever)?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ken Block is the WORST rally driver ever!!!! The gymkhanas are a very edited videos; the reality is very shameful; look at this...

watch?v=yJaMUi8QNKY (in the shakedown!!! hahahahaha)

...and compare with this: watch?v=0JFDzeS0JPw HE IS AWESOME!!!.

[GoDGoRyGR]

man do me a favour... if you can make a tutorial about drifting ,managing a car and pushing it to the limits with a haldex tractioned car like an audi tt (the first generation) i would be much pleased. in fact its difficult to drift it because not much torque goes to the rear wheels. thank you. inform me if you do !

[grechjames]

wish my 1 series had more power!

[nikwalnikwal]

drifting with the trottle.. thay guy needs to drivft cars with WAY fucking less power..

[nlSpiller]

This video basically taught me how to drift. First i started with an old beat up E34 535i but now got myself an E39 M5, whipping it about every corner :)

[masterexploder83]

40 seconds in and I had to give this a thumbs up. Awesome stuff

[sti04alex]

Amazing car ! and great driving

[ZeekyBoogyDoog]

Amazing technique in what is arguably the last greatest M car ever made.

[jwrmtz]

nice rolex..



[lucrativeelfmongrel]

When's Chris going to get a TV show?

[ownz690]

anyone mind telling me what that sound was at around 6:34?

[nlSpiller]

@ownz690

diff locking the other way

[basyo1]

@ownz690

Camera probably bashed against something..

[basyo1]

@ownz690

Actually, it doesnt sound like at all.. i think he hit something

[scoot24925]

i am fully aggred now with the people who say Chris Harris is the best car journalist..Now he works for EVO Magazine and i can wait for ECOTY 2010

[JimmyChannel1]

im glad they used a bmw. this is what they are meant to be used for. bmws aren't meant to be called a 'cocks car' by braindead cunts.

[TooAbsurd]

@JimmyChannel1 Go drive around near Microsoft's Redmond campus and you will understand why a lot of people hate BMW drivers. Personally I like the cars, just not many of the people who own them. M owners mostly excluded.

[JimmyChannel1]

@TooAbsurd well what if you DON'T live in America and what if you DON"T act like a typical BMW cock driver?

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

Who's the one idiot that doesn't like this video?

[key0bb]

Lol my honda cannot do this!

[RWIron]

Wet surface FTW! ahaha JK

[cunt3d]

very nice driving, really nice advice.....

take heed experienced drivers.

[frankielozarro]

you are all fucking idiots i can drive better which my mercedes 2.3 e class....

[JLchevz]

@frankielozarro i can drive better with my volvo estate

[Talybanu88]

You are awseome i admire you,i own an 320d e46 from the past '00,and i wish drive an M5,but now is not possible,greetings from Romania!

[depthsofsleep08]

what was the loud bang noise when he did the transition drift? from drifting one way to the other side?

[LOLitsJono]

@depthsofsleep08

It could be the camera mounting hitting against the car during quick changing in momentum direction or the chasis compensating I would think but not sure

[ballyfarnon1]

serious pilot!!

[mrjost55]

wow I want him as my driving instructor

[MrDodobmw]

sweet

[an50331]

chris harris really puts every other auto journalist to shame

he needs his own show

[1697P]

Problem is when I try to prepare my seat that i can put my hand on top of the steering wheel as it is shown, I'm very very close to the steering wheel.

And I'm afraid of the airbag if it comes out at an accident. Maybe I have short arms...

Do some of ypu have the same problem?

[nlSpiller]

@1697P

Ofcourse this is very personal and can vary by different persons.

Personally, I like it when i can just reach the top of the wheel with straight arms, that way my arms are slightly bend when I'm holding it 13:50

[frazerdavid]

Focus more on finding a comfortable driving position and not on exactly imitating the presenter. It's very important that you learn you vehicle and are comfortable driving it. It needs to be an extension of your body.

[hokman1]

@1697P what? you still have your airbag? replace it with another steering wheel.

[yukiotakata]

no doubt chris is one of the best journalist/drivers working today.

sad drivers republic gone down .

i just got a 350z and i really want to try some power oversteer but finding a place where its safe to practise is not so easy.

But they should have used another camera for the pedals.

[anilabr21]

[nlSpiller]

The bang you can hear is the diff, locking to the other side.
