I know this is simple for most, maby not the noobs though. I was just tired of not seeing any articles in here, so no flaming. But feel free to correct any errors. FOR BEGINNERS TO PRACTICE:
(before entering a corner I suggest turning towards the turn then away then back to the turn and go into the drift. All of this done close to the "racing line' entry point and done very quickly to gain momentum)
When in a smaller (or underpowered) car you should enter the corner somewhat wide at a higher speed. The turn into the drift and try to maintain speed with alot more throttle/clutch input (and some e brake to balance it out)as the underpowered car will have a hard(er) time maintaing (or making) speed in the corner. In a car that is under powered you MIGHT get away with just turning in hard starting the drift, then just throttle all the way and steer properly untill your out of the turn.
for a more powerful small car enter wide and begin to drift. You can use e brake, or the regular brakes(i prefer foot brake). Then throttle and clutch to pick speed back up as needed and continue to slide through the turn with slight taps of the brakes and gas (and possibly clutch) as needed to maintain your line, speed, and control.
for larger cars I would suggest to enter the corner with a higher speed, then turning into the drift using the e break to help slide. then be mindful of the foot brake because you do not want to lose too much momentum. Give good amounts of throttle and clutch as needed to maintain the speed of the heavier cars.
also if you are drifting on a street like atmosphere I would suggest not setting the suspension too hard as it will just cause the car to bounce(bumps) and more than likely lose control. start out with softer suspension and get low speed drifts down then try faster longer drifts. I suggest using an empty(of cars poles curbs etc) parking lot(with permission of course ) to practice some easy technique.
I am by no means an expert and thought I would write this up just in case you need some advice feel free to add your own tips and correct mine(its hard to do a write up when you havn't drifted in a while lol). THERE WILL BE NO FLAMING OF ANY KIND. thanks alot.
