What a touching story

I don't think there is a need for another thread, so I have added it to the thread it sits in now.

I have never used this, I don't go fast enough

braking drifts are the hardest to get right and the fastest way of entering, not only are you trying to get the car sideways but you are trying to slow it down so you dont run wide, basically meaning that you could not have entered any faster without ending up into a guardrail on the outside of the corner.

Feel so good when you nail it though, epsecially comp lock!

im wondering if this can be done properly in a light car, im hoping to switch to a ae86 later this year, i know theres to sperate driving styles for a 1600kg car and a 1000kg

i thought it might be harder due the the drum rear end vs disc anyone have any thoughts

Forget about it and use a clutch kick.

[D4NI3L]

not a fan of clutch kick, not that i dont do it, it's one of the many ways i use to drift but i prefer brake drifting its just so much more smoother

Well in a AE86 you will need to learn...

Don't tell me you are still driving a commo...

Everyone seems to be jumping on the AE86 bandwagon...

I think it's just school holidays.

Braking just isn't efficient enough to be doing it at a higher level. Might be cool for a few right hand bends, tighter corners, try being 'smooth' on a sweeper, not only will you find it difficult because your slowing the car so much, you'll also lose a lot of speed when attempting to carry the momentum through the corner, especially with an AE86, you better get use to doing so.

In addition, it looks crap, because you enter so late, and might as well just be in circuit racing anyway.

If you can't be smooth with a clutch kick, then either your setup is messed up, need to grow some balls, or doing it wrong.

harsh but true.

braking drift im talking about is good for when you are punching a hard hills run and decide to chuck some skids while keeping the pace right up, some of the fastest drifting ive ever done is doing it that way, i guess it 'race drift' as opposed to show drift. Use less angle to keep speed up etc.
