Drifting 101 – Becoming a Drifter

do you think you have what it takes to
burn some serious rubber
hi welcome to watchmojo.com i’m ashlee
and today we’re going to show you how
you and your car can get into drifting
I’d say the best way is to come to an
event like this and start talking to the
driver start talking to the organizers
the sponsors and they’ll steer you in
the right direction
find some mechanics that can modify a
car you can do some very basic
modifications to a good rear-wheel drive
car but then tires are really important
that’s really what you need to start off
with this tires because you’re going to
burn them off
if any car able to drift you need a
rear-wheel drive car after that it’s a
good suspension good tires good seats
some cars are just built right out of
the factory quite neutral so that means
it’s predictable and it does what you
want it to do but then people just
modify almost as you can see down the
pit lane almost any kind of car how do
you train for drifting everybody who
practice this gets better and better so
really practice is what you
ideal but for me for example it’s my
first season it’s only my second event
so I’m just learning and hopefully with
some practice it is it’s going to get
more and more fun it always is burning
tires
