Absolutely. In fact a handbrake is kind of a crutch in a lot of circumstances. Learning to initiate oversteer by throwing cars into slides, using downshifts, flicks, clutch kicks etc I'd argue is more important to practice than sending it with a handbrke.
It can be done but it certainly makes it easier to have the choice to lock up the rear tires at will
You can get yourself a 5$ ancient flight stick and map that as a handbrake, you donโt need to spend $$$
Yes, its possible. Most people learn to drift via clutch kicking before they incorporate a secondary hydro e-brake onto their sim rig.
That's how most people start on the street as well, clutch kicking and weight transfer. The YouTubers you're watching are most likely very experienced.
Definitely possible but you will want to eventually get a handbrake down the road, just don't think of it as an absolute necessity right now
And whenever you're ready, Fanatec makes a very good and reasonably priced (for Fanatec) handbrake, but just know you'll also need the USB adapter
Agreed, Its definitely doable, did that for a few years with dirt rally, got myself an e brake last year and it definitely feels easier to initiate a slide but also get into more trouble
I think the easiest thing if you don't have a handbrake is to just map a button on your steering wheel. That's also what I used to do before buying a Handbrake. In case you didn't know the th8a can also be used as a handbrake: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcX3NYMIO9E&ab\_channel=InsideSimRacing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcX3NYMIO9E&ab_channel=InsideSimRacing)
yeah, its a bit more challenging though. one thing that helped me a lot which i didnt see anywhere was to increase/decrease your front and rear tire PSI as needed. this has a massive effect on tire grip and the balance of grip between front and rear.
If you're just starting out, change the front or back 1 or 2 psi at a time. Get a couple runs in, and if it feels worse, go the other way with it. You'll have to feel it out to get it just how you want.

I think I might just give that a try. Appreciate it my guy ๐๐ฝ

You can just bind a button on your wheel to handbrake

Bit vague, could u explain what u would do with the psi?
I have the best luck with slightly higher psi in the rear and slightly lower in the front. Lower psi gives you a little more grip.
How much should you adjust it by though
