Links to Pacific Rim creator Travis Beacham's own posts on drift compatibility and drifting

Drift compatibility is psychological, not genetic

The better you know someone, the more likely you are to be drift compatible

Drift compatibility is potential, not fate

Drift compatibility can be a choice

Friendship is the foundation of drift compatibility

The drift requires trust

Trust is fundamental; also drift compatibility can be determined with anything that tests how well you can anticipate each others' moves

That even includes multiplayer video games

Many cadets wash out during Pons training when secrets come out in the drift and shatter their relationships

A lot of pilots get messed up by flinching over sexual thoughts

Trying to avoid thoughts just makes them worse

Not everything you see in the drift is always real; also the way to deal with thoughts is just let them flow by

Pilots communicate through "headspace"

First drifts can be very confusing, because partners don't understand each others' minds very well yet

The drift exposes pilots to each others' raw, unfiltered thoughts

Raleigh knew what Yancy was going to say

The drift doesn't let you read your partner's mind like a database, and you may not necessarily understand what you see. Also when Pentecost says he carries nothing into the drift he means he's calm and stable.

Pentecost gained this calmness through meditation

Trying to block your partner from your mind will make you lose control of the Jaeger

Pilots who fall below 90% sync will be in trouble

You can chase your partner's RABIT

Travis Beacham defines ghost drifting

Partners' personalities can rub off on each other

Neural overload doesn't hit you all at once; it accumulates

The time a pilot can go solo varies, and it's a steep curve from fine to dead

More info on solo piloting

Being high in the drift probably makes it harder to avoid chasing the RABIT

Who is in control?

This is 24 year old George Russell, who due to Seb’s illness was the sole director of the GPDA present at the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. This is him leaving an impromptu drivers’ meeting held after the evening FP2 session; the meeting was arranged after it became apparent that there was a non-zero chance that the circuit might become the victim of a missile attack.

For some three hours, the entirety of the paddock’s press stared through the floor to ceiling windows of their ground floor meeting room, with several of the drivers still in their race suits as they debated how they should respond. After it began to become clear that no consensus could be easily reached, the team principals, who had all left the track much earlier in the evening, started to return. Helmut Marko took the opportunity to announce that Max was two tenths less scared than everyone else, and that while Checo was frightened he would soon get over it because these sorts of things happen all the time in Mexico.

Eventually, and it was well into the early hours of the morning by this point, the rest of the drivers left through a back door while George came out alone, on his way to race control to inform the FIA whether the race weekend would be going ahead.

Yes it’s about swearing, but it’s not just about swearing.
