Racelogic Ltd Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase
and welcome to the worldwide
DriftBox community.
Drifting
With your DriftBox you will be able to display
and log your drifting performance. DriftBox
also generates a performance related Drifting
Score, which you can submit to the DriftBox
website for inclusion in the worldwide DriftBox
drifting league tables. See how your skills
compare to other DriftBox users from around
the world at www.driftbox.com
Performance
With DriftBox it is very easy to measure
acceleration times, braking distances, quarter
mile times and many more. There are a
number of configurable screens that show
specific test results such as 0-60, 0-100, 0-100-
0, ½ mile and ¼ mile etc.
DriftBox is based on the Racelogic VBOX,
which is used by the majority of Car
Manufacturers, Tyre Manufacturers and car
magazines around the world to assess
performance.
Because it is very easy to edit the test ranges,
DriftBox is a very powerful tool for use in many
different kinds of vehicle testing.

Lap timing
Displaying your Lap times as you drive around a circuit is simple with DriftBox. You can
display your current, last and best Lap times, and also display split times for up to six
specified split points around the lap.
Through the DriftBox website and forum you are able to download circuit overlays from
around the world, compare lap times, and share lap overlay data with other users.
Speed Display
DriftBox has a display screen mode that shows a large digital speed value and compass.
In open conditions, DriftBox has a velocity accuracy of 0.1km/h, which is useful for
checking the accuracy of your vehicle’s speedometer.
This display has a ‘Point of Interest’ facility, which alerts you as you approach the position
of a point of interest such as a safety camera or service station. POI files can be created
and edited for custom use.

Power Calculations
DriftBox can help you to measure the power developed by your car’s engine, either at the
wheels or flywheel. Having set the vehicle weight, results are calculated from the
measurements taken by the fast GPS engine to give you useful guidelines to the car’s
brake horsepower or kilowatt output. Because these calculations are made from the GPS
data rather than accelerometers, your results are likely to be more consistent and accurate.
Data Logger
For drivers keen to improve their lap times and get valuable feedback on technique,
DriftBox includes a sophisticated, fully functioning datalogging package. If used with a
64mb SD card, DriftBox can log up to 50 hours of continuous data, which can be analysed
in great detail in the available software.
This software allows graphical analysis of acceleration, braking, cornering and lap times.
You can overlay up to four files, and you get an accurate track map to compare your
driving line between different laps. The software also features a graph measure tool,
allowing for precise analysis of performance figures. Data-logging capabilities are further
enhanced by automatically generated text data on the SD card.

Racelogic Ltd Drifting
Drifting
DriftBox is the first performance meter to measure Drift Angle. A car is said to be drifting
when the rear wheels have a lateral (sideways) motion in relation to the road as well as a
longitudinal (fore-aft) motion. In fact, the moment a car starts to turn a corner, the rear
wheels need a certain amount of side-slip to go around the corner, even if you are going
very slowly.
DriftBox will measure the angle between the
direction the car is pointing, and the direction the car
is going.
Because the rear wheels need to slide a small
amount to turn a corner, DriftBox will show a small
angle (usually <5 degrees) when cornering normally,
but round very tight bends this can sometimes be up
to 10 degrees.
When using DriftBox, a drift is defined as anything over 5 degrees and 25kmh, but in most
cases you are not really drifting unless you are showing 10 degrees or more. The very top
drifters have recorded angles (using DriftBox of course!) of 65 degrees, at over 100km/h,
but this requires a lot of power, sticky tyres, a modified steering rack and a large amount of
skill.
NOTE: Drifting should only be carried out in a controlled environment, and under no
circumstances on the public highway. Please make sure you are in a large open
area, and you are wearing a suitable helmet. Drifting can be immensely rewarding
when you have mastered the technique, but you run a high risk of spinning out of
control every time you lose traction of the rear wheels.
Drifting techniques
There are many ways of making a car drift, here is a brief explanation of some of the more
popular methods. Techniques vary depending on whether your car is Front engined Rear
wheel drive (FR) or Front engined Front wheel drive (FF).
Hand Brake (FR & FF)
This is the simplest way of breaking traction on the rear wheels. Pulling on the handbrake
will lock up the rear wheels, and this will cause the amount of grip at the rear end to drop
very suddenly and the car will slide from the rear. The downside is the car will slow down
during application of the handbrake. This technique is normally used to initiate the drift, but
you cannot use this for sustained drifting.
Page 7

Racelogic Ltd Drifting
Power Oversteer (FR)
In a powerful car, flooring the throttle whilst turning the steering will cause the rear wheels
to start spinning, which will reduce the amount of grip at the rear end, causing the tail to try
and overtake the front of the car. Applying opposite lock on the steering, and then
modulating the throttle to keep the rear wheels spinning is the method of controlling this
situation. However, the more the wheels spin, the less grip they give, so if you apply too
much throttle, the car will spin out, and if you use too little, the car will stop sliding. Get the
balance right, and you’ve cracked it!
Feint or Scandinavian Flick (FR & FF)
In a high speed corner, you can usually make the rear end start to slide by turning one way
under power, lifting off, and then quickly turn the other way, so you are making a ‘feint’ the
opposite way before you go round the corner. There is a weight transfer to the front of the
car making it grip, whilst the rear becomes unloaded and should start to slide.
Clutch kick or Diff-lock (FR)
To perform a clutch kick, the throttle is floored and then the clutch is very briefly
disengaged (the ‘kick’). This causes the engine revs to rise suddenly and then immediately
transfer the extra momentum of the engine/flywheel to the rear wheels, thereby promoting
wheel spin. If you are going round a bend when you use this technique, the car should
start to slide immediately.
Be prepared to wind on opposite lock very quickly, and come off the throttle because there
is a very quick transition from gripping to sliding using this method. Ideally the throttle
should then be re-applied to keep the car sliding.
Trail Braking
This involves keeping the brakes on as you turn into a fast corner, this works best on a
downhill corner as less speed is lost.
There are many ways to drift a car, and we have only covered the basics. For more
detailed information please use resources such as www.drifting.com, www.dailydrifter.com,

Quick Start Guide
Connections
Mounting DriftBox in your car
1. Connect the cigar lighter adaptor power cable to the power socket on the back of
your DriftBox.
2. Slide DriftBox into the windscreen mounting bracket.
3. Using the suction cups of the windscreen mounting bracket, fix the DriftBox
assembly to a suitable place low down in the centre of your windscreen.
4. DriftBox has an internal GPS antenna, so try to mount DriftBox where it will have
the largest possible view of the sky.
5. Park your vehicle outside in an open area away from obstacles such as tall
buildings and trees.
6. Insert the DriftBox power cable into the vehicle cigar lighter socket. If power is not
permanently available at this socket, turn on the ignition to ensure power at the
socket.
7. The first time DriftBox is used it will need to be left for 10-15minutes to acquire fully
the latest satellite constellation information.
8. After this initial period, DriftBox will then only take 1-2 minutes to lock onto satellites
when you use it next time.
9. Wait for the satellite image to disappear which means lock has been obtained.
10. Before using DriftBox for measuring Drift performance you will need to align the
internal motion sensors.

Satellite Reception
DriftBox calculates all of its logged data from the information it receives from GPS
satellites and relies on being able to get a good lock to produce this data. So it is
imperative that DriftBox (or optional external antenna) is placed in the best possible
position for a clear view of the sky.
The location that you drive in can also affect data quality, if you drive in a very built up area
or an area with overhanging trees then the signal quality can degrade. If the satellite
reception does drop out in use, you will see the following screen and hear three quick
beeps.
Searching for satellites at power up
Whilst the DriftBox is acquiring satellites it will flash the image of a satellite, the location of
the flashing image depends on the screen you are in.

Racelogic Ltd Drift Mode
Page 14
Drift Mode
Drift Mode is used to measure your drifting ability, showing current and maximum drift
angles and give a grading of your performance as a score between 0 and 10 points.
Scores can be sent to the DriftBox website for publishing on the Top Scores database.
On a fully activated DriftBox an SD card can be inserted to log your scores and data from
your runs that can then be downloaded and viewed on your computer and in the DriftBox
Tools PC software.
The Drift Mode can be used in two different ways; Sectors and Practice. The default is
Practice, but you can turn on Sectors in the Drift Menu.
Practice
Without Sectors enabled, the DriftBox measures a single run at a time, where a run is
defined as anything larger than 5oof drift and a speed greater than 25Km/h. The run
finishes when you go below these thresholds. You can then see Peak Drift angle, speed at
which that drift angle occurred, the peak Lateral G during the run and the overall Score
which is based on Lateral G and Drift Angle.
Sectors
When Sector Mode is selected, a run starts at one virtual gate and finishes at another, see
the ‘Sectors’ section later on for more details.
Selecting Sector Mode
To set DriftBox to Sector mode
• In Drift Mode, press MENU
• Select ‘Sectors’, then press the OK button.
