HOW TO DRIFT

Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing the rear wheels to lose traction and slide sideways through a turn. It's a popular motorsport that requires skill and precision to perform correctly. Here are some of the best drifting techniques used by professional drifters:

Clutch Kick: This technique is used to initiate the drift by abruptly releasing the clutch while simultaneously applying full throttle. It causes a sudden burst of power that helps break traction and start the slide.


E-Brake Drift: The E-brake or handbrake drift is one of the most commonly used techniques in drifting. The driver pulls the handbrake mid-turn, causing the rear wheels to lock up and the car to slide sideways.


Power Over Drift: This technique involves using the power of the engine to break traction and initiate the drift. The driver applies throttle while turning the steering wheel, causing the rear wheels to lose traction and slide sideways.


Feint Drift: This technique is also known as the Scandinavian flick. The driver quickly turns the wheel in one direction and then immediately turns it back in the opposite direction, causing the car to shift its weight and start the drift.


Dirt Drop Drift: This technique is used on dirt and gravel surfaces. The driver approaches the turn at a high speed, turns the steering wheel sharply, and then drops one or more wheels off the edge of the track, causing the car to slide sideways.


Braking Drift: The driver uses the brakes to shift the weight of the car forward, causing the rear wheels to lose traction and slide sideways. This technique is commonly used to adjust the angle and speed of the drift.


Shift Lock Drift: This technique involves locking the transmission in a lower gear, causing the engine to slow down the rear wheels and initiate the drift.


Dynamic Drift: This technique is a combination of several drifting techniques, including the clutch kick, e-brake drift, and power over drift. It involves using a combination of techniques to initiate and maintain the drift.


It's worth noting that these techniques are best left to experienced and professional drivers on closed tracks or courses. Attempting to perform these techniques on public roads is dangerous and illegal.
