Drift Technique:Kansei Drift (Inertia Drift)


Kansei Drift (Inertia Drift)
 This is performed at race speeds. When entering a high speed corner a driver 
 lifts his foot off the throttle to induce a mild oversteer and then balances the drift 
 through steering and throttle motions. The car that is being used for this style of 
 drift should be a neutral balanced car therefore the oversteer will induce itself. If 
 the car plows through any turn this technique will not work.
Kansei Drift (Inertia Drift)
1. Enter a turn at high speed. The Kansei Drift should be performed at race speeds. (if you do not drift, your vehicle should experience severe understeer at this speed).
2. Turn your wheels sharply into the turn, and let off the throttle quickly. The cornering force of the vehicle combined with the loss of throttle will cause your vehicle to oversteer.
3. When your vehicle begins to lose traction, get on the throttle again quickly. This will overpower the wheels for the traction that is available, sending your vehicle into a 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.
