the technique i posted is good becuause it caters to what judges are looking for in compitition. They want it to look like you smoothly entered the corner drifting. They dont want to see you feint wiht a large sweeping motion to get the drift started. Without this technique added to you feint that is what would be needed. This technique is great if you are going to fast for a tight turn and need to slow down a bit to properly drift it. If you are approching a mild turn, then a clutch kick with a slight feint is ideal because it will keep your speed high and your car will look nice and smooth going into the drift like you arnt even trying.

There are easier ways to get sideways but most of them arnt what the judges want to see. Even if you dont compete you should aim to drift the right way. A controlled slide into and out of the corner, not just a burst of gas at the apex to kick the end out. that is not driftng.

there really isnt as much jerking and slamming as it sounds in this technique z man. It is comes off very smooth when done right. It just takes a lot of practice.


Go to tremek.com and check out the drifting vids and see what im talking about.
