1 Place the cone in a safe place, in the middle of an asphalt area. Drive up to the cone and apply the handbrake in an attempt to make a 180 degree turn. Practice until you get 180 degrees, no more and no less.

2 Learn to handle the steering wheel using the handbrake at this moment at a speed of 50-60 km / h. (weaker torque will not allow you to achieve the desired result) and try to control the car until it stops.

3Increase your speed each time you feel comfortable.

4Also try to make a 180 turn around the cone.

Method 2 of 7: Drifting with rear wheel drive and manual transmission

1. 1 Find a car with rear wheel drive and manual transmission. Ideally, it should be a sports car with a 50/50 balanced mass and powerful enough to keep the wheels spinning for quite a long time.
2. 2 Go to an open, spacious area. Away from pedestrians, other vehicles and police.

Method 3 of 7: Handbrake Technique

1. 1 Accelerate and shift the transmission lever to the position where the engine will reach maximum rpm. Second gear is generally used because it is a fairly long gear and is best suited for increasing vehicle speed.
2. 2 Press the clutch.
3. 3 Briskly roll the steering wheel inward, as if you are about to turn around it. At the same moment, pull the handbrake.
4. 4 Immediately step on the gas pedal, release the clutch and turn the steering wheel towards the skid, use the gas to control the drift angle.
5. 5 The more you press on the gas, the more the car will skid.
6. 6 Less throttle - will reduce the skid angle and allow the car to move towards the inside of the corner more freely.
7. 7 You are drifting!

Method 4 of 7: Clutch Relief Technique

1. 1 It is used when you are almost moving, in order to increase the angle of skid and the force of rotation of the wheels.
2. 2 As you drift, you may feel that the car loses its skid angle and power. If this happens, you can press the clutch hard to try to gain revs. It's like shifting gears with the clutch on, essentially making the wheels squeal over and over again.
3. 3 Get into a skid.
4. 4 While there is still enough power, press the clutch several times, as quickly as possible, press until the car starts to skid again.
5. 5 Finish by taking your foot off the pedal.
6. 6 Keep drifting, and when you feel yourself losing power, use the clutch again.

Method 5 of 7: Drift Automatic, RWD

1. 1Find a large, open area
2. 2 Accelerate to 30-40 km / h.
3. 3 If this is not possible, shift to a low gear for maximum torque.
4. 4 Turn the steering wheel sharply. You should feel the rear of the car sliding into a circular motion.In order to start drifting, always use the gas pedal all the way, then keep a moderate pace, control the skid process.

Method 6 of 7: Preparing to Drift with a Front Wheel Drive Car

1. 1 Go to a free, open space.
2. 2 When driving, in order to overcome fear and uncertainty, pull the hand brake several times.
3. 3 Place the cone block in the middle of the platform.
4. 4 Approach her at a speed of 30-40 km / h.
5. 5 Pull the handbrake and turn towards the cone. After you feel the back unfold, immediately turn in the opposite direction. This is called skid lock.
6. 6 Repeat the skid lock at the same speed until you are able to control the vehicle. Practice this for a few weeks. (Do not try this on the road, it is quite dangerous and can lead to an emergency).
7. 7 Gradually add speed, add until you master the speed range that is most comfortable for you. Remember that your speed at which you drift should never exceed a speed at which you have not yet trained.
8. 8 Make progress. At the same speed, turn the steering wheel towards the cone until it stops (do not do this if you are not already ready). Also, as before, if you feel that the rear part has gone into a skid, turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction - block it.

Method 7 of 7: Drifting with a front wheel drive car

1. 1 Enter the corner at a comfortable speed, preferably in the middle of second gear.
2. 2 Pull the handbrake when turning, try not to block the rear wheels.
3. 3 You still need to maintain revs, while drifting try to keep the accelerator pedal at least half depressed.
4. 4 When you feel that the car does not skid well enough, pull the brake harder.
5. 5 When you feel that the car is skidding too much, then apply more gas and release the handbrake a little.
6. 6 Don't strain, just feel.

Warnings

Be extremely careful if you intend to drift in an SUV or pickup truck, as this type of transport can easily overturn. In this case, you must be proficient in drifting. Never drift on the road. It's illegal. It might be funny, but the risk isn't worth it. According to the law, these actions are regarded as a reckless threat and can lead to punishment in the form of a prison sentence, deprivation of a driver's license, and much more.

• The danger is a strong or uneven tire wear, therefore, after each drift, the tires must be checked by professionals for the presence of a tread and, if necessary, immediately replace them.
• Use only the speed you can handle. A safe exit from a skid requires sufficient experience and skills.
• When drifting on the road at a speed of 50-80 km / h, for safety reasons, try to keep track of the distance.
• To slow the vehicle down quickly, use your normal brakes.
• Always drift at a controlled speed, at the very beginning, keep the speed no more than 50 km / h.

Front-wheel drive cars and most 4-wheel drive cars are not adapted for high-quality drifting, most likely they will just drag the rear end and end, which will cause serious tire wear and rear suspension. If you are seriously thinking about drifting, get a rear-wheel drive car.

• Don't try to drift in parking lots. You can damage both your car and other parked cars.
• Be aware of the bills in your area regarding vehicles. You can be fined or imprisoned for drifting even in deserted places. Although there are no explicit provisions in the draft laws prohibiting these actions.

What do you need

• Car with:

• Serviceable engine and transmission
• Safety equipment such as roll cage and racing straps
• Four-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive preferred
• Cheap tires are recommended during training
• Limited slip differential (optional)
• A car with a large steering angle. The more you turn, the more they turn inward. You want negative camber, which will increase your turning ability.
• Race track or open area
• Cones
• Score record table, a friend to judge and advise
