Well, everyone in their fancy RWD cars likes to drift.

What is, instead of using oversteer and all that to drift RWD cars, you used understeer on FWD cars to drift.

You approach a corner, turn in early, and understeer around the corner! If you are turning too wide, a lift of the handbrake will rotate the back end out a bit so you can get thru the corner!

I think I can start a revolution :lol:

What do you think

Sounds dumb, just learn how to do pendulum turns, easy way to oversteer with a FWD

As in faint drifting? Is that the same as over correcting to drift a understeer-happy car? You steer away from the turn, then haul the wheel back over into the turn to initiate some tail happy oversteer?

Its basically how rally drivers take tight turns, its also the basic way of doing a feint drift. its actually quite easy to do on my corolla.
