Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally causes the rear wheels to lose traction while maintaining control of the vehicle through a corner. Drifting is commonly associated with motorsports like drifting competitions and can be a thrilling skill to master. Here's a basic guide on how to drift in racing:
1. Choose the Right Vehicle:
- While you can attempt to drift with many types of cars, rear-wheel-drive (RWD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) cars with a manual transmission are often preferred for drifting due to their characteristics.
2. Find a Suitable Location:
- Drifting should only be practiced in safe, controlled environments, such as a closed circuit or an empty parking lot. Avoid public roads or areas with traffic.
3. Prepare Your Car:
