Check-out last months Autombile magazine. They had an article on the Subaru U.S. Rally team and in it they explained a couple of rally-driving techniques. Works great in the snow...

Before peeps on here go into great detail on drifting. AWD is quite easy to get into a drift. Go out into a empty parking lot and try it out. Whip the steering wheel out of a turn and back into the turn really quick and that will get the car side-ways, put some gas on and it pulls you into a drift, it easy if the pavement is wet or snowed.

we use in rally this
Kinds of Tecnics

- Forced Drift : need the use of e-brake
- Slide Drift : use the acceleration of the weels to make the car slide
- Weight Drift : use the weight of the car to make it drift

And have the Gripping tecnics but that is another history
so .. whitch of these tecnics you want to know ??
it should be better to open one post about any of these because each tecnic can be used in several ways ..

i agree some of your saying. but first you actually need to stiffen the rear end by adding a thicker swaybar. most AWD cars are setup with major understeer out of factory. for example, my Impreza RS. i wasn't able to get its tail out for a complete awd drift until i upgraded the rear swaybar, and with that said.. a set of good tires are also recommended.


have fun drifting!
