Drifting Techniques, Theory: A tyre grips the road up to a maximum point of adhesion, when this point is exceeded the tyre will start to slide until adhesion is restored. So finding and pushing just beyond the point of adhesion is the name of the game. Once a car begins to drift driver control comes into play the exact amount of turn on the steering wheel towards the direction of travel to catch and control the drift. At precisely the right moment you have to catch the drift with a measure of opposite lock and use the throttle and steering to control the drift a sustained drift on a straight is called drift lock. Rear wheel drive cars are the only choice for drifting particularly higher-powered models but one of the key requirements is a limited slip diff. We’ve seen really impressive drifts from low powered cars. A quick burst of acceleration at the right moment is just enough to break the adhesion of the back of the car. As a car decelerates the weight is thrown to the front wheels that is why the wheels lock up under heavy breaking. A front wheel drive car is harder to drift in but uses deceleration to lighten the back of the car and make it swing wide. To perform a left tail drift in a front drive car build up the speed. Decelerate fairly heavily but performing a simultaneous right flick on the steering wheel a shock wave will shoot through the car (you can feel it happen there is no easy way to explain it.) As this shock wave passes the centre point of the car steer …

©TheNFSDrift 2009 This tutorial explains what cars you want to use, the upgrades you want to use with them, the tuning and the handling options. Just follow everything in the video and with a lot of practice you’ll get it. PS – I know the last drift isn’t that good, it’s just that it was really clean and it was my first attempt, also, it was quite late.
