FAQ

This is the Drift Techniques FAQ. There haven't been many...actually any -_-; questions asked, so think of it more like a setup guide so you'll be set to recieve the information as it was intended. Just a light explanation of how the techniques pages are set up.

Each of the Drift Techniques pages are set up in sections. There are typically five sections to each installment: The technique's name and it's other names/nicknames, difficulty, positioning, what you do, and mechanics.

Technique's name and other names/nicknames: self explanatory listing.

Difficulty: An estimate of the difficulty of the technique. This is just the author's opinion though, so your experience with the technique's difficulty may vary.

Positioning: A detailed description of where and how to position yourself at the vehicle controls for excecuting the technique.

What you do: A description of what you do, as well as what the car does, in order from beginning, duration, and finish of the technique.

Mechanics: For those of you who are intersted in how the drift takes place, and what events you command in the driver's seat do outside of the cabin, I have done my best to explain the mechanics of various drift techniques. I only take a stab at this when I feel a have some understanding of how it happens, so there may be installments in which this section is kindly omitted until I have more time to think it through.

Also articles will be written covering additional topics regarding drifting. An example of such planned articles includes countersteering, suspension set ups, and weight transfer. These articles are designed to supplement and work with the drift techniques described in the techniques section to help you fully understand how to perform a sound drift.

Thanks for taking the time to read this FAQ, now return to the techniques page and enjoy.

The author of this website does not encourage reckless driving on public roadways. The driving techniques and vehicle modifications shown in this webpage are intended for off-road use only and some of the modifications may make your car illegal for public road use. If you want to learn about drifting: more power to you but keep it safe and off of the streets; there are many on-track events for drifting, search for one in your area.

This website is about improving the performance and technique of the car and driver, mainly in respect to vehice handling. It deals with exploring the maximum ranges of tire traction, and in the case of drifting, pushing beyond that limit for extended periods of time. The closer a car comes to the limit of traction and the further it moves beyond the limit of traction the greater the chances of crashes when an error in judgement occurs.
