Slip Angle in Touge - Master this to be a faster Sim Racer

This is slip angle. An advanced driving technique that blends grip and drift. It was used by Takumi in the show Initial D, and ever since then this technique has almost had an air of mystery surrounding it. I&received tens of comments telling me to look into slip angle in more depth since I made my grip vs drift video so here we are. Ask and thout shall receive guys. So, make sure you keep watching until the end if you want to become a driving god. So, what is slip angle? Slip angle is a measurement of how much the tire&contact patch has twisted (steered) in relation to the wheel. A good way to demonstrate this characteristic is to stand beside your car and turn the steering wheel. If you watch the one of the front wheels, you will see that it steers a few degrees before the tire&contact patch starts to turn. This characteristics is important in racing, because as long as the tires have traction, the car tries to go where the tires are pointed. So, even though the wheels may not be steering, the tires can be steering due to the slip angle For instance, if we take a look at this example, we can see that the vehicle is seemingly oversteering through the curve. It is following the inner radius of the corner closely. Now, because slip angle is in effect, and the tyres are steering without wheel much input, we can follow the inner radius of the corner all the way around. If we weren&using slip angle to take this corner, we wouldn&be able to follow the inner radius all the...
