Drift

Drift Drifting An introduction to the fastest growing automotive sport today By Anthony Latona What is Drifting' Drifting is getting your car to slide sideways down a road. Then, using a car's momentum , to propel it around a turn, all the while maintaining control. How Do You Drift' There are two ways to do a drift: 1) Put the car into second gear, let the car rev up around the turn and then throw it in to gear at the right moment to pull out. 2) Pull the e-brake to cause the wheels to lock up whipping the rear of the car around a turn and then release to regain control coming out of the turn.
