Do you use the ebrake to add bias to the rear brakes yes, do you leave it on for ANY lenght of time over just tapping the rears, no.

Ideally it would be easier if you could somehow lock the ebrake latching button in so it does not rachet and hold on the brakes and have some kind of spring to release the ebrake so you could use it like a hand operated version of the brake pedal on it only lets you tap the rear brakes only.

That is also why it takes practice. it takes practice like doing turn-ins without the ebrake. You do initiate turn-in with the weight transferred to the front and release the brakes as you turn in and apply power so the weight transfer comes back to banalced 4 wheel drift as the car is pointed to the apex with just enough power to maintain the slight drift.

Unlike the standard drift, with the ebrake intiated tighter turn the front tires do not drift as much as control the slip-angle of the rears that are in power oversteer, broken loose and spinning to rotate the car thru a tighter turn, using that slip angle to both stop the car from spinning out and accelerate the car around the tighter corner line. Like on dirt or ice. You make the car corner tighter than the available traction allows.

The rally cars have a johnson bar that they pull for the ebrake. Spring loaded and no ratchet action. You need one for the 928!
