"Scandanavian flick"

[tfed]

Could anyone explain this technique to me? Ive decided to start putting in some serious wheel time on the drift seasonals. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

While approaching the turn you want to apply a slight steering input to the opposite direction of the turn, then steer into the turn, while sharply lifting off the throttle and (in some cases, depending on speed and type of layout) lightly applying the brakes. This will cause the car to slide sideways facing slightly away from the turn. Then steering input is applied towards the turn and as you release the brake pedal while still holding down the throttle the car will slingshot itself around the corner to the desired direction. Of course, countersteering will again be required to control the induced oversteer.

I would suggest practising this in your lounge, which the amount of freedom it gives you. The drift seasonals and rather terrible.

Good luck!

Nice! Exactly what i wanted. Thanks for the quick response. I think the name of the game is practice really

Got it in one mate, practice practice PRACTICE!

In rally it's called the Scandinavian Flick, but in drifting it's more often called a "Feint." Try looking up videos and such for a Feint technique and you should get better results. The flick is usually quite a bit more violent than a feint maneuver, because the rally guys are driving AWD cars in low-traction scenarios.

Cool man,will def check that out. Maybe ill take it online and try to observe in a drift room as well

Also im thinking about making my audi a3 my primary "drifter". Thoughts?

I'd suggest trying something more FR/JDM. A lot easier and more fun to drift in my opinion.

 

[Clutch34]

I'm a beginner drifter and using the 350Z, it's workin quite well for me. Well balanced and good power with little to no modification.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't A3's FF?

Ok,maybe ill try a skyline

FR FR FR FR!!!!!!!!!

Sure you can learn in a skyline with a torque splitter, but don't use one in a open lobby you'll either get kicked or laughed at

Hear hear. The JDM things is getting a little played out but the hardcore guys are all about RWD on comfort hards. The flick or feint is particularly useful in these as it allows for much steeper angle at the beginning of the drift, where using power alone to initiate the drift makes for a more gradual, almost 'floaty,' entry. As for using a Skyline, I'm sure you implied one that is 4WD but I feel I should note there are numerous RWD Skylines, not including Super GT Cars.

R32 GTS-T '89
R32 GTS-T '91
KPGC10
KPGC110
Nismo GT-R LM Road Going Version
R30
R31
Skyline Coupes and Sedans (including my favorite of these, the 350GT-8)

and of course the disappointing ER34 Blitz/Dunlops

I know there are a few others but they require considerable more effort to get sliding as they have substantially more weight and less power.

 

[tfed]

Yeah im def thinking a rwd skyline. Jdm?

You should be proud

I badly need a GTS-T or a Tom's Chaser

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market

 

[DDAAVVIIDD82]

GTS-T is a disappointment as the only available motor is the RB20, in either the '89 or the '91. And of course the GTS25 is n/a and can't be boosted via upgrades either. JZX100 is a blast.

Ah that makes sense. I do like that supra premium

This video tutorial should teach you the basics.

Thats how i drive my real car. I think there is an episode where james may is actually taught the flick in a rally car

I honestly can't drift too well without doing the feint. Weight shifting makes your drifting 10x cooler in my opinion as well.
