There is no best style of drifting, the judging depends on control, speed, smoke,entrance or exit. Techniques are just ways to attain all that.

Best post ever for you NK4E! 👍
 
and easiest way to learn them is to get a proper car that's fun to drift stock. Miata/MX-5 NR-A or BMW120i are good ones, MR2'86 is good for practising MR drifting and for AWD drifts I'd recommend R34 GT-R or 3000GT.
 
Every watched BMI Drift Bible, bit out of date, but there 6 basic techniques, thats like only half, proberly not even. It all really depends on what the track is and the car. Example, Deep forest, Using a RX-7, i'd would use Fient and brake drift, but unlike S13, i'd use handbrake to initate the drift. Everyone is different!.
 
IMO The Breaking Drift is the best Looking type of drift out of that selection. As for best, there can be none, a person may go through 3 different drifting techniques in one drift to acheive the desired result.
 
this poll is flawed in more than one way. all of the initiation techniques arent even up there, and style and technique are totally different.
sometimes you cant feint because of limited room, sometimes you cant do a braking drift because your going too slow, etc.

edit small spelling mistake..

To make a small argument, the Ebrake would be the best because it starts and fixes your car to do the drift or at least start it.
 
Well the techniques i use would be braking and feint and any combination,

i dislike the ebrake because whenever i try to drift i slowdown to much in my opinion to be called a drift. The dirt drop in my opinion isnt a good way to start a drift since its not really skillful, just setting one tyre in the dirt and lose control.

E-brake use totally kills the revs... I hope when that new DFP comes out, we'll be able to just kick the clutch to get the rear tires to lock... What's that technique called again?
 
Is it just me or is anyone else getting a little bothered that people are calling it a breaking drift as opposed to braking drift?


lol i'm anal :)

People don't know how to spell?
 
well it's my setup for my cars....for my rear wheel drive cars i set them up loose in the back and stiff in the front....making the car oversteer easier....

so when i push the hell out of my car the car can break loose nicely.
my setup isn't any thing crazy either.
oh and my cars are at 240 to 280 ponies no more.

That is an example of Power oversteer or Dynamic Drift

hello...i'm new here but,i think drifting doesn't need technique...when i race i push my cars to there limits causing them to drift

Speed drifting i guess would be the approriate term in your application, As drifting is not just about speed, Obviously alot of other factors are involved. Exhibition drifting are what some call it.
And Yes, Drifting involves technique :ouch:, Anything involves technique, Opening your fridge door could involve technique if you really wanted it too.

Personally i use the E-Brake quite often to initiate loss of traction, I wouldn't call this a bad technique by any means. If Your losing too many Rev's, your holding on too long.

Using the Clutch does not allow the rear tires to lock, It mearly raises RPM's while not in gear and as soon as you realise/dump the clutch it allow's the Rear's to break traction (silly defintion, sorry). The Term is Clutch Kick by the way. 👍
 
well you can see it like that but,my point is i don't use a technique to drift.
where i'm tring to get max time attack and altimate control.
to you it's drifting to me is loosing traction to get altimate time attack.

but,thats why i'm here to learn how to drift.
so whats power over?

Power over is where you use striaght Acceleration to break the traction in the rear wheels.
Power Over Drift:

1. Enter a turn at any speed. The powerover drift is based on horsepower so it does not necessarily need much speed or rotational force to perform.

2. Turn your wheels sharply into the turn, and get on the throttle enough to cause your wheels to lose traction. The cornering force of the vehicle combined with the excessive throttle will cause your vehicle to oversteer.

3. When you feel the vehicle�s rear end kicking out, immediately countersteer the wheels to face straight with the road. Your vehicle will pull in the direction of the front wheels, as long as the wheels are still moving. Keep on the throttle. If you press the brakes or let off the throttle because your vehicle is in an extremely oversteered condition, you will spin out or leave the road.

4. When you wish to straighten out your car, after completing the drift, let off the throttle smoothly and straighten out the wheels as your vehicle kicks in line behind the front tires.
 
I like Power-Over. I have a little secret that helps people to power over.

The tip is: When buying mods, purchase Nitrous, and tune it to the max, when entering the drift press R1 and your tires will spin, and it will help you keep the drift going. 👍
 
As mentioned before, there are many other techniques besides the ones mentioned, also, can anyone help with a dirt drop drift in GT4, I'm a noob in GT4 drifting, but Id still like to try it.
