What am I doing wrong???

I have no clue what im doing wrong, but everytime i trie to drift
i spin out of control and end up crashing... can sum1 help me plz???

I'll try to explain as much as I can in PM/IM... there's too many questions I've got to ask to help you out. It'd take too long.

i have to ask a really dumb question first. Are u trying this ina front wheel drive? if thats a no then ur already doing better than a hit load of people. the easiest way to learn would be find a gravel or loose surface road b/c you can practice ur throttle control at a lower speed but the downside is it chews up tires quicker. maybe try a differant method of starting the drift. or just try to do smaller angles at slower speeds and build up. Its not easy and ill be honest im not that good at it but i understand most of it on a verbal level. that and i race dirt track so most of the stuff applies right over.

i dont think there is anything wrong with front wheel drive drifting its accualy easier to correct then rear wheel drive. but i guess it just matters on how you learned to do it.

i guess but its not true drifting its e braking. This is very debatable though those with fwds say its drifting and those that have anything else besides fwd say its jsut ass draggin.

ye true FWD takes some skill but still the linking drifts is harder.. and I just wanna as another question. What are all the drifting methods and which are prefarable? Like I've many but some just don't make sense... so what's ur imput?

You're trying to drift...okay, where? an abandoned parking lot or your privately owned racetrack? It better be one of those.

yes trust me I'm not trying to kill anyone I don't drift in residential area's or anything like that now can I get some real info on drifting techniques

do you have any experience in racing at all? if not i would go autocrossing first, learn the real limits of your car. You will feel when it breaks traction and how it feels. After this you will have a better idea of what not to do to break traction and in the case of drifting what to do to break traction. If you cant figure it out after autocrossing go to drift 101 but i've never heard of someone that doens't get it after that.

First ya gotta rip up that e brake, then you pow wow...


Just try not to hurt Mona.

Lol, God i love FnF :P

Yep... fwd on street with e-brake is ass-dragging. It was always a bitch trying it even though I've managed to connect a couple of switchbacks together... luckily.

I learned how to lose control of my crx on dirt/gravel roads. It's just as scary at higher speeds and more fun IMO.

fwd drift ftl
rwd drift ftw

:lol:

easiest way to learn though: rwd: make sure the e-brake is not a floor break... floor breaks wont work unless its wet, and they dont take affect untill yourn under the 10mph rating they are ALL set for

whenever it snows i find an empty parking lot, and well you get the idea

To original thread poster and gear kid, drift bible can show you the most common forms, and how to do them.

dude, ur not even telling us what ur doing... ur not even telling us what car it is... ur not even telling us if its rwd or awd or fwd... and ur not even telling us if its an auto or manual... how do u expect us to help u??!
