i dont even have a hand brake, always though it was cheating
my technique just speed and throw it, clutch kick sometimes, usallly mid courner to fix angle tho
i use rain and the steering wheel can lead me to my direction of course.

for 2 years i had a vx commodore ,v6, auto, for the first 6 months i wore out hand brake shoes in 1 month, so i had to find another way.
one night at 3am in bayswater after having a fight, i was agressive and should not have been driving.
i went into the corner about 30km to fast, i started turning in knowning i was going to crash, but then i slightly touched the brake again and the rear slowly moved out, i counter steered and fed in the power, i got throught by the skin on my teeth.
i stopped right after and got out, with shaking hands i started to think about what i had done running it over and over in my head. coming to the conculsion that BRAKING DRIFT WAS FOR ME.
i couldn't do it again that night or 4 more nights after that but i then slowly found how i had done it the first time. with new brake pads and high grip tyres all round i went back the next weekend.
this is how i do it
i go into the corner slightly overspeed braking very hard, i stop braking turn in and slightly brake once more the car naturaly wants to go into a perfectly smooth drift and with that kind of entry speed it's easy to keep a nice angle through and out of the corner, form start to finish a perfect drift...
tell me about your experences, and ideas are always welcome

Life is best spent \\Sideways//
is this on a single corner or a series of corners??
i only find a braking entry useful when i have to shake off speed, as under normal circumstances it makes it harder for me to follow a good line (through a series of corners.)
also, dont want to brake to hard and lock the fronts!
doesn't mater if theres a series of corners or not you can hold the angle through all of them
as for that link they talk alot about handbrake and shiftlock but i wanted a forum about braking drift

i can understand in a lighter car about the brakes locking up but on a vx theres so much weight on the front end that locking up has never been a problem

unless your BANGING it in at qr heading to the dipper, need to loose 50k's in a matter of seconds so just jam em on for hottnes entry!
will reply later about the rest
