Hi,Quick question


Using a second gen RX7,When i get just about completely sideways and i can tell that at any second i am gonna lose control.Should i pump the break and countersteer?Or just pump the brakes for a second..Then countersteer?

Only about a week or 2 into this,I can do some decent drifts but i am trying to get really sideways and maintain the drift like that.But i keep losing it.Not sure if i should let off throttle and countersteer(wich i have been trying but i think i do it too late)Or pump the brakes...I always end up spinning out.:banghead:

I know the best answer is practice and practice

just looking for some tips

I have no problem with basic drifts..but i wanna be more sideways.
:D

thanks
 
Since you're starting in drifting, my advice would be that you should keep firstly low angles to get some skill in countersteering and with the gas pedal. And then keep the highest angle you can. :)
 
I would suggest, instead of stepping on the brakes, jsut let off the throttle,a nd if you feel it slipping, just say bye bye to that drift and try again. :D
 
When im that far sideways, usaully I lose control and preform my legendary wall drift hehe. Its hard to know what to do in that situation because your supposed to respond dependent on ur situation, as there is not universal drift method for any one type. But usaully I lower my throttle input, so that the car will start to grip and still slide a bit more, and then once I feel the grip I give I gas to help push my car back into its proper direction. But honestly I think ur angle si a little too large for a FR vechicle. You might like 4WD cars more :P Just my 2cents
 
thanks for the replies guys

I haven't even tried a AWD for drifting yet.Just been concentrating on FR

I'll give a AWD a go sometime soon,Been wanting to try it anyways =]
 
if i get into an angle like that i usually spin around and when i get to 180 degrees i hit the reverse and try to spin back in the direction i came in...it looks pretty cool IMO
