the DRIFT bible

 

its keiichi 'drift king' tsuchiya.
anyways, im more of grip style. do a heel-toe downshift before the hairpin then make sure during the turn your within the powerband then accelerate on the exit. pretty simple except on the heel-toe stuff coz it takes a LOT of practice.
not as flashy compared on doing 'doughnuts', but can do the job on a short time span esp using a FF car.

 

Ive never taken professional driving classes let me see if I have this "heel-toe" concept down right... come into the corner brake with your toe press the clutch in drop it as you throw your heal into the gas peddle hopefully breaking the back end loose to do a 180 turn does that sound about right?

 

1. Approach the turn at speed.
2. Position the car towards the outside of the turn for the corner entry.
3. Slow to set the weight onto the front end.
4. Get 1st gear but don't engage the clutch just yet. Double clutch if you have to.
5. Turn the steering wheel towards the outside about 180 degrees to set up the feint motion.
6. Immediately turn the wheel to lock to the inside, at the same time get off the brakes and power down and pop the clutch.
7. Control the line with throttle power and modulate using both the footbrake and handbrake if necessary.
8. Center the steering wheel before reaching the ideal car orientation. Correct too late and you'll fishtail, requiring more steering corrections.

Break diffs

Step 6 is very important. Too slow with the wheel and you'll just go wide. Too fast and you'll just plow right off with massive understeer. Step 8 is also important. Correcting the slide is just as important as initiating the slide.

This sequence includes all basic techniques, including:

* feint motion
* heel-toe
* double-clutching
* countersteering
* left foot braking
* power over
* clutch kicking
* handbrake
* and delicate throttle control.

Of course, all of this is just FYI. You wouldn't actually do any of it

 

ok, when you said the car stopped I assume you ment the car stopped before you completed the u-turn. But you may be holding the e-brake too long.

 

sigh....youve got to use your whole car to turn. Not just the e-brake and the clutch and accelerator.. First come into the cone nice and quick (even if its a u turn). Use smooth and steady breaking to get the car's weight shifted front. While doing this heel and toe to a lowe gear, probably 1st or 2nd. Nows the hard part because if your car turbo lags you dont have the power. SMOOTHLY turn into the corner (uturn or whatever) let go of the brake (press clutch) and at the same time apply a quick ebrake... hold the ebrake up and wait untill you now the car is sliding (its a feel thing keep...trying untill you realize the exact instant ). This keeps all the weight on the front tires. Now your car should be spinning somewhat. Now, as your still turned in youve got to get the car to understeer (more or less get the front tires loose. Do this by poping the clutch with the revs well into the powerband. Then release the clutch slowly and drive away. With AWD you shouldnt really gotta countersteer unless its really wet or in the dirt. so make shure the wheel is forward.

^---notice the minimal countersteer. If you use too much countersteer you will whip around and die.


LASTLY go try this on GT3 because its cheaper on the car.

 

are you drifting on that tight u turn corner? what the...

just put it on 1st, turn slow then when you're half way there slam on the accelerator and you'll feel your *** breaking, then counter steer.

If you're going 50mph and you're on 3rd gear, brake hard, heel and toe, push the accelerator hard then counter steer.

Heel and Toe is just like Double CLutching while pushing down the brake paddle. Simple stuff.

 

hmmmmmmmmm, would this be easier in a US lancer? hehehehehehehe

 

Not with the way it pushes like a snow plow!!!

 

I drive yo mama like a snowplow

Oh no, that's terrible

 

clutch kick is a transmission suicide. Don't do it on your eVo. Even a N/A cars transmission will wear out or crack doing this.

 

I went to the last local autocross event of the year last weekend. The course had a 360 degree turn around a cone. I would of liked to have been able to do drift around, cause the turning radius on the evo is anything but tight.
