You don't have to use nitrous when drifting. Or to put simply, if your car's rear end is not sticking out and oversteering, then use the handbrake to lock the rear wheels momentarily to loosen the rear end and get you sliding.ĥ. Utilize the handbrake only to help increase your 'angle of attack'. It's important because just simply steering in one direction to the drift will make your car oversteer too much and you'll spin out.Ĥ. Vice versa with right turn drifts turn left then steer right to countersteer. You have to first turn left to drift left, and then steer right to COUNTERSTEER. As Doc Hudson famously quoted "turn right to go left." Well that DOESN'T mean to turn right and you'll go left. I highly recommend using 'brake to drift' because you'll need to use the brakes to, not only slow down, but to help initiate the drift. And then there's 'brake to drift', where you tap on the brakes and steer at the same time and the car will oversteer. There's 'gas to drift', where you hold the gas down while cornering and the car is supposed to oversteer on its own. You might notice the 'live tuning' in-game, and a setting called 'drift style'. However, RWD cars have the advantage in scoring big points in drift events. There are also all wheel drive (AWD) cars that could drift. These are the cars I will be referring to the most. Most drift cars are rear wheel drive (RWD). Just some basic pointers before the list:ġ.
