Drifting techniques

There are many different ways to drift a car, including: (NOTE: ABS and TCS
should be turned off before attempting to drift. These systems are not
made to take into account a driver wanting the car to slide).

Braking drift - This drift is performed by trail braking into a corner so that the car can "set" or shift weight to cause the rear wheels to lose traction,
then controlling the drift with proper steering and gas inputs. Having
brake bias can be beneficial to the drift depending on the driving
style. Usually having bias on rear brakes helps to brake drift.

Power Over Drift - This drift performed when entering a corner at full throttle to produce heavy oversteer through the turn. It is the most typical drifting technique for AWD
cars (predominantly RWD). Keiichi Tsuchiya has been regarded as saying
he used this technique when he was too scared to drift at certain
corners when he was younger. However the chance of this technique
leading to a burn-out instead of a drift is possible if executed at a
bad angle.

Inertia (Feint) Drift - This is done by rocking the car towards the outside of a turn and then using the inertia
of the car to swing it back to the desired drifting line. By going away
from the corner, and turning back in hard, you are coming from a much
sharper angle. Somtimes the brake will be applied while rocking the car
towards the outside to give a better weight transfer;
hence creating an even sharper turn. It has been said by many
pro-drifters that this is one of the hardest techniques to master as
has a high spin-out factor.

Lift Off
- At very high speeds, by letting your foot off of the accelerator
while cornering, certain cars with very neutral handling, such as the
MX-5 or S14, will begin to slide, simply from the drop in torque and
engine braking. The drift is controlled afterwards by steering inputs
from the driver and light pedal work.

Handbrake/ebrake Drift - This technique is pretty straightforward; pull the handbrake
to induce rear traction loss and balance drift through steering and
throttle play. Some people debate the fact that if using the handbrake
creates an actual drift, or just a power slide,
but ultimately, using the e-brake is no different than any other
technique for starting drifts. This is generally the main technique to
perform a controlled drift in a FWD
vehicle. This is one the first techniques beginners will use as their
cars are not powerful enough to lose traction using other techniques.
Also this technique is used heavily in drift competitions to drift big
corners.

Dirt Drop Drift
- This is done by dropping the rear tires off the road into the dirt to
maintain or gain drift angle without losing power or speed and to set
up for the next turn. Only permissible on roads without barriers and
lined with dirt or other materials which to lose traction. This is
commonly done in WRC rallying.

Clutch Kick - This is done by "kicking" the clutch (pushing in, then out, usually more than one time in a drift for adjustment in a very fast manner) to send a shock through the powertrain, upsetting the car's balance. It causes the rear wheels to slip and enables the driver to induce oversteer.

Choku Dori
- This is mainly used after long straightaways to slow the car down and
to perform a stunning, high-angled, long drift. The car is thrown into
a feint and is swung back the other way at very high speeds, while the
driver uses the ebrake to maintain the car's line and to extend the
drift.

Manji - This is
done on straightaways, when the driver swings the car from side to side
across the track. It is mainly used in choreographed drifting such as
in events like Big X. Many techniques can be used to initiate this,
such as clutch kick and feint.

Changing Side Swing
- This technique is used extensively in the Japanese D1 competition and
is very similar to inertia (Feint) drift. It is often done on the first
entry drift corner, which is often a long double apex turn just before
a very fast straight-way. If the straight-way before that double apex
is of a downhill orientation, the driver keeps driving on side of the
track that is closetest to the corner. Then with correct timing in
mind, the driver abruptly changes the car onto the other side. This
movement has the car momentum to be altered causing the rear wheels to
lose traction. The car is in a drift motion right now. Then the drift
is carried over into the corner and through it.

Dynamic Drift
- This technique is similar to the Choku Dori. It employs all forms of
the above techniques - and not restricted to only one - in combinations
to accomplish the desired drift movement.
