Wow, just wow! You can see haow nervous and anxious he is (8:18) asking if he is in right gear and if he should use clutch or not... he doesn't want to break anything or do any harm to the car, well knowing what precious gem he is driving. As soon as he get's on the throttle in a drift, you can see in his face pure concentration, he knows exactly what he is doing, how to control the car. No fear or joy on his face, just pure concentration on what he is doing. Just when he is going out off the drift mode and off throttle the feelings overwhelm and he is beaming pure joy. One drift after another he is gaining confidence, but he can't settle it in, because there is already the next challenge awaiting: tandem with Piotr Oh I love this. How he developed so quickly and always maintained the car in the drift really well controlled. Watched this video with glaring eyes and smiling became brighter and wider as it is progressing. Well done! Thank you for the ride and joy having us to watch this.

These sims have been around for a long time now and when combined with force-feedback rigs for your steering wheel, seat, and pedals, it can really jar you around and get to about as perfect mathematically as it can to the feeling like the real thing. Remember folks, there's tons of math going on when that guy was drifting the car for the first time.

I know exactly how this guy feels. You just never realize how much your sim hobby is training you unless you get that rare opportunity to actually do it but if you do it's just magic and sticks with you. I've goofed off in flight sims most of my life and got to fly a real plane last year for the first time and man, before and after I couldn't believe wtf was going on but in flight it was just stone cold all business as all those virtual training hours took over. It was awesome seeing him go through that same emotion rollercoaster and it's always wonderful seeing simmers get these rare opportunities to truly test themselves.

He looked so nervous when he first started to drive. As soon as he started that first donut, he realized he knew exactly what he was doing. So stoked to see this video, I was smiling from ear-to-ear

He did exceptional if this is truly his first time behind the wheel of a proper skidder.

Put it this way - i fly a virtual fighter jet off the boat, do air to air refueling, land back on the boat in pitch black darkness - but all in the safe confinements of my room, not risking anything real at all. I do pretty OK in the sim, but would i dare to do such things in real life? Hell no i would not. Obviously the risks don't really compare between IRL drift cars and operating jets off an aircraft carrier IRL - but essentially the comparison between RL and VR stays the same, therefor VR can never transmit the fear of something drastically impacting your life like real events can do.

We don't have the sense of smell or the G-Forces to learn on, but the very principles of throttle control, braking, steering input, and 'hit your marks' all transfer over, we just need to learn how to translate our visual and audio inputs that tell us a car is loose or pushing and convert that into G-Forces in our seats. The most difficult thing that I still fight after 14 years of sim racing is how the 4 corners behave in regards to shock compression and rebound. if I can learn how to hone the shocks to do as I need them to do, I could do better. I'm also not a chassis setup guy so that makes it harder to improve. historically, the changes I think should alleviate certain conditions just don't jive. But I learned back in 2016 that I have *some* degree of talent. I was given a chassis setup for qualifying for a league race and started 3rd -- the guy that gave me the setup started 6th that day. The race chassis had me running better than they did in the long run, but I was wrecked on lap 3 which had me way in the back early, so I couldn't actually gain positions. Later that season at a road course I ended up starting 2nd in the 2nd group of drivers (we had something like 70 drivers that weekend), and I missed the fastest group by less than 1 second in qualifying. Ended up leading 6 laps, wrecked the car, took my tow and fast repair, spent the next 90 minutes climbing the running order and finished 2nd by less than 4 seconds. When I wrecked, I had a 12 second lead and had a spin while avoiding another car spinning in the very place I crashed in. had I not spun the 2nd time I'd have probably won that race. 2017, I finished 3rd in points in my division and 2nd in 2018. I wasn't eligible for that division in 2019; ran 4 races in 2020 and sat out all of 2021. I am planning on a return in January to see if I can find enjoyment in it again.

This guy is definitely a sleeper build. Calm on the outside, a beast in talent and it shows.

Everyone's already said it, but I just appreciate how careful he was, and wasn't so sure of it, until he got it sideways, and the thousands of hours of muscle memory kicked in and he saw he really can do it! So wholesome watching these two share something they're both so passionate about in different ways.

I was thinking "oh, no, he's going to be too timid to even do this", when he was pulling away first time and testing acceleration, not going through the gears hard, clunky off throttle shifts, and then once he kicked it out in the roundabout, I was like "oh he definitely has got this!" This really was pretty awesome, he handled himself like a very measured professional full of respect and care for the car and the moment. Really fantastic program put on by Drift Masters, and Piotr really did an amazing job welcoming Rhys, making him feel comfortable with encouragement and being stoked for him, you can tell it really pulled him out of a shell of being anxious, just what Rhys needed to excel in the moment. While it's still a huge step-up to be a professional on the track, Rhys needs to use this as a sign that he needs to get some equipment and take the next step, you only live once, you need to do what makes you happy.

Today I learned that Piotr Wiecek is my favorite drift car driver. He's such a caring and nice dude all around. You can tell how he was just trying to be the best host possible to Rhys and to make him comfortable out there.

My God!! That's the only thing i can say after watching this. This really is a testament to A. How accurate and technical the racing sim now a days are. B. How accurate and well setup the car must have been, such that it felt no different to person habitual to virtual car setup. Yes he was nervous at first(cause who in his shoes wouldn't) but once he got feel of the car he flew that thing(atleast from us non professionals or viewers perspective). I'm sure he must have made some mistakes but my god he drove it so well for first timer. Respect to the Champion for providing such an opportunity to the guy. Thanks to all the sponsers as well to make this a reality, it maybe just one guy but thousands felt joy as if in his shoes through the videos.

This is amazing. Think of how he was feeling a few years back just playing games and kicking a**es on the game always thinking, I wish I could do this for real." To see him do it for real is a fantastic moment we got to see as well. Amazing video

Congratulations to the entire DMEC team for making this dream come true! Surely everyone who practices virtual drift dreams of such an opportunity, congratulations also to Rhys and next season I promise to practice more! hahaha

And let me tell you it translates just like this vid. I was really into dirt rally and wrc. And once you get comfortable with real world power and g force. The muscle memory takes over. When it snows in Denver I tear it up thanks to the skill I’ve developed in a safe environment. Getting good at driving with no risk of injury is an underrated learning method for sure.

Much respect for both of them. The teacher giving such a car to a virtual champion... And the virtual champion driving so good. They both nailed it!

16:14 - on one hand, I'm impressed with how they managed to communicate when they just met. On the other hand, this looks like the most polite, gang-sign-throwing, roadrage exchange ever

@@RhysTatterson81 cheers from America, I hope you do, that was a joy to watch and genuinely impressive. There’s a lot of carryover from the sun I’m sure but I bet the added elements of g-force, heat in the car, and tire smoke probably make things slightly different. That looked like an absolute blast

Yo! So happy for Rhys!! I felt so stoked for him to be able to have this opportunity! It's really cool that you guys allowed him to experience that!

Piotr might be one of the happiest and inviting people in motorsport today. This video made me geniunly happy!

Absolute proof that skills developed in a simulator under the right conditions are completely transferable to the real thing. Also lets just take a moment to appreciate just how much fun that this guy is having and what an awesome opportunity he was given.
