It is harder to do in a front wheel drive car, but it can be done.
drifting usually occurs when one is on an incline and the foot is removed from the brake. The car drifts…unless it’s equiped in such a way as to prevent drift.
Front wheel drive had nothing to do with it.
your gonna have to modify your front wheel drive car…springs and shocks…and your gonna need loose grip tires as well…
once youve dumped about 1800 bucks into doing that…then your car will practically drift on its own, you just need to keep it under control…
good luck
I really don’t think you can effectively drift in a front wheel drive car. The whole point of drifting is to kick your rear end out and pretty much slide around turns. If your car is just a run of the mill car with no more horsepower than average then you can’t do it. I highly doubt you could even do it with lots of power. Also if your car is somewhat high off the ground you risk flipping over.
The basics are to apply power, steer into the turn and pull the hand/rear brake until the back loses traction which allows the back to slide wider and tighten the turning radius. The front literally pulls the front around the turn while the back swings wide. It is NOT a safe maneuver. If the back wheels encounter something to stop the sideways slide, you could easily roll the car. This happens in road rallys all the time, roll overs from this kind of maneuver. In a rear wheel drive, the idea is to apply enough power to break the back tires loose so they slide sideways while maintaining traction in front to steer around the curve. Either way, the back tires lose traction and slide as the back swings wide into the turn while maintaining traction in front to successfully steer around the turn. It is relatively easy to on the dirt roads of a road rally, but really hard to do on pavement with regular tires.
You can’t drift in a FWD car. I don’t know what these people are talking about. Drifting is not the same as kicking out the back end by hitting the e-brake or any other thing. To properly drift you need to be able to use power to spin the back wheels and control the skid. you can not do this with FWD. You would just be flopping around out of control.
Well how many people do you see on TV or read about that drift front drive cars, not many.
If you just want some fun then find some plastic trays like from a fast food place and place them under your rear tires on a front drive car. Then you can drift.
First you brake hard while maintaining high RPM using heel & toe technique (Brake & Accalerate at once + hit the clutch, this is to prevent jolt when you shift to lower gear). Shift into 2nd or 3rd gear (according to speed). Then you use the Emergency/ Parking Brake with while steering into corner a bit early (oversteer the car). When the car goes side way, you release the clutch at i’ts bite point (need expertise to do this! feel it) & control the RPM while the wheels loose traction. And most importantly, counter steer the car and where your’re heading. Just after the apex, shift into higher gear and try to regain the traction back. Remember, traction kills drift. You can do this in FWD cars. I’ve seen it done before, only with FWD you have to use E-Brake more often than the RWD cars with limited slip differential (LSD). In FWD, drifting will end sooner than RWD. And please, DO NOT EVER DO THIS ON PUBLIC ROAD. Do it at a skid pad, parking field late at night or someware safe. It’s deadly dangerous to loose control at corners. Lightweght 1.6 cars are good to try.
