But when would the transition from the first turn to the second be made? At the point that you normally would turn in from the straight, or is there a dynamic I'm not aware of that would change your transition point?

Thats a good question. I tried to drift with my beemer and cliped my taillights because i turned in too late. It seems like you got to start turning a little bit before you leave the first turn. I have watched countless videos and the ones that do the cleanest drifts look like they turn in before they finish the drift. They dont turn too much or too fast because it can bring the tail around and fuck all kinds of things up. i am no expert i just notice this fact while i was watching some of my drift videos.

watch this badass video of a supra by copying and printing this site (you need quick time player)
