Next, there are Brake Based Drifting Techniques which you use your car’s braking system to Drift the car. One of the techniques is Braking Drift, the driver enters the turn and applies the brakes to push the car’s weight to the front wheels, causing the back wheels to rise and lose traction. Then driver uses a combination of braking and shifting to hold the drift without back wheels locking up. Another technique is E brake Drift, one of the basic drift technique. Simply, the driver enters the turn and pulls the emergency brake to lock the back wheels. Driver steers into the turn, and back end swings out into a drift. Next brake based drift needs higher techniques to drift the car, it is long slide Drift. Because diver needs approach the turn at high speed, then driver pulls the emergency brake to initiate a long drift and maintains it into the turn.(www.drift-connection.com)

These technique terms were popular and basic techniques. And there are some other techniques that racers use to drift their car. First, there is feint drift. Which the driver steers the car to the outside of the turn on the approach, pushing the car’s weight to the outside wheels. Driver then quickly steers back into the turn. When the car’s suspension kicks back, the weight shifts so quickly that the back end flicks out to the initiate a drift. Next technique is Swaying Drift. A swaying drift is a lot like a feint drift except that it begins on a long straightaway approach to a turn. Once the car starts drifting, the driver uses steering to maintain the drift in the form of a side to side sawing of the car’s end. And the last technique is Power Over Drift. Like long slide drift, this technique requires a lot of horsepower. The driver accelerates into and through the entire turn to make the back end swing out as the weight shifts on exit.(www.drift-connection.com)

Many drivers want to drift because they can feel the power and it has style. But Drift does not come out just hitting the gas. You...
