Stupidity. You do not tell soccer players to learn to play soccer by starting with Rugby techniques. Why do it differently with drifting? I agree about the power, this doesnt need to be much. But there should ALWAYS be Hards and a decent diff on a drift car.
There is no way to learn drifting fast, no matter what people say. Drifting is about car control, which is gained from experience, nothing else.
My tip: Start by learning how to throw your car sideways and regain control.
No ABS? A LOT of drifters both virtually and in real life use ABS. Why? Better braking control and response. More control, is less risks. The ore control, the more risks you can take without being stupid. I don't use ABS because i dont have an ebrake, and wit ha rear brake balance the car handles like if it was using an ebrake. Thats the only reason NOT to use an ebrake.
The reactions needed for fast transitioning come with weeks of experience, nothing else. Transitioning is the hardest part in drifting for me, because i have issues anticipating (virtual) weight transitions. This is the thing that needs most practice and experience.
The first thing he needs to learn is to get control of his car as soon as he kicks the drift. Then you practice on holding it. Extending drifts isnt easy, but he needs to understand it by learning it. Can't do it any other way. You suggest he starts by plunging in the deep.
My opinion? Back to basics. The right ones.
