Drift Technique:Dirt Drop Drift

Dirt Drop Drift
 This is performed by dropping the rear tires off the road into the dirt to maintain 

 or gain drift angle without losing power or speed and to set up for the next turn. 

 This technique is very useful for low horsepower cars. Do not attempt this 

 technique at the Drift Session.

Dirt Drop Drift

1. Enter a turn at low to medium speed.

2. Turn your wheels into the turn and stay on the throttle, but drive slightly off the roadway with the side of your vehicle opposite of the turn you wish to make. (ex. if you are turning left, let your right side wheels drop into the dirt)

3. When your rear wheel goes off the roadway, the low traction surface should cause your wheels to break traction. Stay on the throttle as your vehicle returns to the roadway to continue the drift.

4. When you feel the vehicle’s rear end kicking out, immediately countersteer the wheels to face straight with the road. Your vehicle will pull in the direction of the front wheels, as long as the wheels are still moving. Keep on the throttle. If you press the brakes or let off the throttle because your vehicle is in an extremely oversteered condition, you will spin out or leave the road.

5. When you wish to straighten out your car, after completing the drift, let off the throttle smoothly and straighten out the wheels as your vehicle kicks in line behind the front tires.
