How to Drift A Car Tutorial
First, you must have the right car. To drift successfully, a rear-wheel drive car is a good idea. It is possible to drift a frontwheel drive car, but it is a lot more difficult.

The first step in all drift techniques is to make sure your engine RPM's are at 4000 - 5000 before entering into any drift.

The first drift technique is the power over:

1. As you near the corner turn into it.
2. Once you've turned into the corner, momentarily kick in the dutch and release. This causes a break traction on the rear wheels.
3. Once the car begins to drift, control the throttle and countersteer, by turning the steering wheel in the opposite direction.
4. Control the line and angle with the countersteer and throttle. Gradually straighten out the car as you exit the corner.

The handbrake technique:

1. As you near the corner, turn into it.
2. Push in the dutch pedal and pull the handbrake simultaneously. The handbrake should only be pulled up long enough for the rear end of the car to swing outwards.
3. Once the desired angle is reached, release the handbrake and dutch. This should break traction and initiate the drift.
4. Exit the corner as in the power over technique.

The feint drift technique:

1. Once you are almost at the corner, slightly turn the steering wheel so that the car is turning away from the corner.This will momentarily transfer the vehicle weight outwards.
2. Immediately cut back towards the turn, and at the same time release the dutch, which will cause the rear wheels to spin. You will feel a hydroplane effect in the car as you slide around the curve. Do not let the drift go, because it will give you momentum for the next corner.
3. Keep your foot on the accelerator to keep it from spinning out.
4. As you approach the next turn,cut your steering wheel in the direction of the turn: If you were too slow on your first drift, kick the dutch again to get the wheels spinning.
