it's all about industrial parks and access roads at 2 in the morning for us....just be safe and go slow with the technique...don't get in over your head too fast. oh, and be prepared to wreck...it will happen (if you're serious about learning new schiznit)

You can read all you want (to prepare yourself) but the real learning comes with practice. Practice, practice ... and more practice ....

parking lots parking lots parking lots, and talk to actual drifters (preferably with similar setups to your car), see what styles they use, don't go watch some option videos and think you can clutch kick a hairpin at 60mph just cuz you saw some guy do it in his super trick drift car

oh, and, you WILL crash, its unaviodable

Whatever you do DON'T try sliding your parents FR volvo around a downhill turn your first time. Dam'n, I'm still paying for that one.

I'ts all parking lots for me until I can try some track drifting.

go to your local book store and buy as many books as you can about suspension dynamics, car control, tires, and chassis tuning. Then go and do some autoX. Thats how I learned. Yeah the occasional big a$$ parking lot helps too. Its a long hard journey, but if you really want to learn, you should study first.

in the process of learning in friends cars, but we use huge a$$ parking lots, of course they are empty.
