There you go.

in a nut shell turn hard in the opposite direction then cranking into the corner. U get a whip effect which causes a skid thats easier to control than just rippin an brake or clutch kicking. us dirt track guys use it too b/c ur speed is higher useing the feint method. not a good move to try if ur unexperienced though.

Fienting is a great move to get a car sideways. Basically- like said above, you steer hard to the OUTSIDE of the turn, then apply more thrust towards the inside of the turn. The feeling you get is incredible, getting pushed towards one side and then pulled (not snapped) towards the other.

The bad part of using a fient (the part that messes with newbies), is that you don't keep a tight line through the turn. You are going to shift to the outside more than you would with experienced clutch-kicking or braking.
The other trouble is that you need a wide area to start the drift, since you need to steer to the outside of the turn first. This move works best on dirt- in drifting the narrow track, tight turns, and potential tandem opponent can keep this method away from widespread use.
