There are a couple ways you can drift. The feint drift is when you first steer away from the direction you want to go and then towards it. This will offset the balance of the car and if you can get the timing right to floor it, it will allow you to kick out your rear end.

The easiest is to just pull the e-brake while starting a turn and then releasing it and applying the gas. The idea for any kind of drifting is to control the rear end with your gas.
There are two ways to start a drift. The first is the clutching technique. When approaching a turn the driver will push in the clutch and shift his car into second gear. Then rev the engine up to around 4000-5000 rpm (it all depends all the model of the car being used) and then slightly turn away from the turn and then cut back towards it hard while at the same time popping the clutch and causing the rear wheels to spin. At this point the drifter has a loss of traction and is beginning to slide around the curve. Now comes the hard part. You have to hold the drift until the next turn. To do this you must keep your foot on the accelerator while at the same time adjusting your car with the steering wheel so you don't spin out. It's not as easy as it sounds. Then as the drifter reaches the end of the turn and approaches the next turn which is in the opposite direction he must cut the
So do you have an auto or a manual?

drifting is cool if ur good at it but even then idunno seems like a waste a waste of money into ur car and waste of tires and a waste of time but if u really wanna do it practice get down some good techniques and find a parking lot with no walls or poles near by
