Drift Technique:Long Slide Drift

Long Slide Drift
  This is done by pulling the E-brake through a strait to start a high angel drift and 

 to hold this to set up for the turn ahead. This technique can only be done at high 

 speed.

Long Slide Drift

1. Enter a turn at high speed to perform this drift.

2. Turn your wheels into from the turn. 

3. Hold in the release button on your E-Brake and pull up your brake sharply, then quickly release (e-brake is held up for only about 1 second). If using a RWD car, clutch in while pulling your E-Brake.

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.

5. If your vehicle begins to lose speed while sliding sideways, heel-toe downshift into a gear low enough to pull your vehicle through the drift.

6. 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.
