Drift, all about drifting 13 pics + text

The whole drift is based on oversteer, and thus a lot of rear-wheel drive cars. However, front-wheel drive cars to drift too can - using the handbrake.

Drift, he's drifting, he, according to the dictionary, "a special technique of turn" - is primarily a demonstration of the highest control of the machine and control. This is exactly adjusted pressing the gas pedal, designed to hold the rear axle in a position to drift and cornering in this state.

Drift has a lot of fans in Japan, which later joined the fans in the United States, and then in the UK and other countries. In drifting, unlike drag racing, speed characteristics of the machine plays the most important role. A style and entertainment cornering make this kind of competition one of the most inexpensive in motorsports.





Which machine takes drifting?

Toyota and Nissan deliver most of the models, which go drifters - because in the 80 years when it all began, among the lineup of cars of these two brands were a sufficient number of inexpensive cars with rear wheel drive (FR).

Legendary mobility-dori (dori - Japanese version of the pronunciation of the words drift) - Toyota Corolla Trueno is in the back of AE86 (Hachiroku, as they call this car the Japanese. "Hachi" and "rock" - the names of numbers 8 and 6 in Japanese). He had a well-balanced chassis located in front engine rear-wheel drive, light weight and very high capacity - only 130 hp In the case of a supercharger (engine 4A-GZE) - 160 hp Trueno AE86 was also known for having starred in the widely known in narrow circles of the series Initial D. The car, which many mastered the technique of drift is still highly valued in Japan, despite its already considerable age.

Key members of the clan Nissan's drifting - a body of Silvia in S13, 180SX (200SX in the UK) and SilEighty (car, which is a 180SX C before by Silvia S13 - these two machines a common platform that facilitates such "cosmetic" surgery). Rear-wheel drive and engines CA18 or SR20DET, which were completed body S13, is a fairly successful combination to the wheels lose traction. The next generation Silvia (box S14) 200SX and drifters have not enjoyed great success, but the subsequent body S15 has become "the people's favorite" as the S13. Silvia S15 Spec R with the engine produces 250 hp SR20DET capacity, and is also equipped with 6-speed manual transmission and a limited slip differential (LSD).

Drift is also carried out on the skyline - for example, Skyline R34 Blitz participated in the championship D1. The remaining sedans represented mainly car brand Toyota. Although there is an exception - Skyline RWD modification to the engine RB20DET. The same engine equipped with is not very popular in other forms of motor sport sedans Cefiro and Laurel.

There are car Mazda RX-7 - a classic rear-wheel drive in bodies as a series of FC3, and FD3. Easy rotary engine contributes almost perfect weight distribution of the machine axes. Bodies FC in Japan are more like to use in street races, but when it comes to major events with large sponsorship budgets body FD usually shows its superiority over its predecessor. Japanese Championship D1 Grand Prix Championship 2003 won a car A'pexi FD3 RX-7.

Technique drift

The whole drift is based on oversteer, and thus a lot of rear-wheel drive cars. However, front-wheel drive cars to drift too can - using the handbrake. Experienced drifters will not just pluck the car into a skid - when cornering, all four wheels must be in the drift. Among experienced (or even most) of drifters include Keiichi Ttsuchiya (Keiichi Tsuchiya), also known as Dorikin (Drift King), a true legend of drift, the Japanese rider with a video which filmed a lot of Best Motoring. Classics of the video genre is considered Drift Bible, which deals with the techniques of drift. We also consider the basic techniques of this kind of motorsport. Here's a quick overview:

Drift braking (Braking Drift)
Braking is performed before cornering. Due to the weight of the vehicle is partially transferred to the front axle, the rear unloading and allowing it thus partially lose grip on the road surface. Introduced skid balanced then pressing the gas pedal and steering.

Drift with fluctuations (Choku-Dori or Swaying Drift)
The slow drift to the rear of the machine rocking back and forth about the axis of movement, reminiscent of motion of the pendulum.

Throwing clutch (Clutch Kick)
When using this technique, first the clutch pedal is recessed, and then abruptly released (ie strikes) when approaching a turn or during a slide. Throwing clutch give a sharp jerk of power, resulting in tearing away the rear axle into a skid.

Dirt Drift (Dirt Drop Drift)
The rear wheels off the road onto a dirt or mud covered the margins to maintain sliding and cornering at the desired speed.

Drift with the handbrake (E-Brake / Handbrake Drift)
Here we use the hand brake that locks the rear wheels and contributes to the disruption in the slide, which is then balanced by taxiing and gas pedal. This is one of the basic techniques of drift.

False drift (Feint Drift)
Sudden movement of the machine towards the outer side of the turn before entering the self turn transfers its weight in the direction of the outermost side, which allows to start slipping. This technique is commonly known in rally called Scandinavian Flick and it is widely used there.

Switching the toe and heel (Heel Toe Shifting)
Drift involves balance and smoothness. Smooth shifting means that you can concentrate more on the correct steering and the brakes. The trick here is that one foot is possible to press the two pedals at the same time - for example, on the brake with the toe, heel - on the gas.

Jump (Jump Drift)
Drift with a jump - a technique used to compete in this sport. Wheel on the inside of the turn trajectory, bounce off the curb or edge of the bumps in the road, transferring the weight to the opposite side and the resulting drift.

Reset gas (Kansei Drift)
When cornering at high speed the foot is removed from the gas pedal. Machine weight being transferred to the front axle, it begins to slightly slip. Slipping controlled wheel and the gas pedal.

Long slide (Long Slide Drift)
Vypolnyaetsyanavysokoyskorosti. Work handbrake allows you to complete a long slide at a steep angle on the line, ending with cornering.

Overcapacity (Power Over)
If your car has a sufficiently high capacity, the total gas at the entrance to turn guaranteed to provide you with excess understeer, ie skid. It is also one of the basic techniques, which many may have practiced quite unintentionally.

Drift to low gear (Shift Lock Drift)
The engine speed drops when changing down a gear, then release the clutch pedal. This reduces the speed and cause a skid.
