(hard but not impossible) or in a supplied MX5.Courses normally at Silverstone or Brands Hatch.
I'm going, wondered if I could get 10 of us together for a bit of a GP discount.
Cost is likely to be
£200 if you use your car, £300 if you use theirs (PRIOR TO ANY NEGOTIATED DISCOUNT). Yes pricey but you learn to:Braking Drift
By trail braking into a corner weight is over the front wheels inducing loss of grip at the rear.
This is then balanced through low to medium speed turns with the accelerator and steering.Choku-Dori
(Swaying Drift)This is a slow side-to-side feint like drift where the rear end sways back and forth down a straight.
Clutch Kick
Dipping the clutch pedal and releasing it suddenly
(hence the kick) on approach to a corner or used mid-drift provides a sudden burst of power losing rear traction.Dirt Drop Drift
Dropping the rear tyres off the track into the dirt to maintain the drift and carry speed into the next turn.
E-Brake/Handbrake Drift
Pulling the handbrake to lock the rear wheels and lose traction before balancing the drift with steering and the accelerator.
Using the hand brake is one of the basic methods to get used to low speed sideways car control.Feint Drift
Flicking the car to the outside of the corner before turning into the corner carries the weight of the car to the outside of the turn allowing the drift to begin.
This is known as a Scandinavian Flick in rallying where it is widely used.Heel and Toe
Drifting is about balance and smoothness.
Making your gear changes as smooth as possible means you can concentrate on correct steering and braking rather than a clumsy gear shift upsetting the balance.Jump Drift
This involves bouncing the inside wheel over the kerbing to shift the weight over to the opposite side, inducing oversteer.
Kansei Drift
(Lift-off oversteer)The foot is lifted off the throttle when entering a high speed corner resulting in a weight shift to the front to induce a mild oversteer which is then balanced with the steering and accelerator.
Long Slide Drift
Carried out at high speed, pulling the handbrake allows a high drift angle to be accomplished on the straight to carry though the turn.
Power Over
(Power oversteer)Using full throttle on entry to a corner can invoke oversteer on the exit.
This is a very basic technique and cannot be considered as drifting if used in isolation.Shift Lock Drift
Allowing the revs to fall on a downshift before releasing the clutch slows the drivetrain down and induces oversteer.
Any one interested add below.
