FWD Drifting

Anybody really good at this and have some advice? I did it once on a sweeper by my college using some trail braking and letting off the gas late, but I only had it that once.

The reason why this belongs in the "I got in trouble" forum - I tried to duplicate it going the other way in the sweeper, went in with the same speed, but didn't think about the fact that the other direction was a tighter radius... oops. I wound up facing the other direction (facing the right way and away from any cars on the road, the streets were empty) hahaha it was a rush for sure

Definately a rush, and something I wouldn't recomend on public streets. There are plenty of racetracks around where a person can play without endangering themselves or others. That said, I haven't been in a front driver for a while, but if memory serves me, the technique is to lift off the throttle once you turn into the corner. Make sure that the ESP is switched off, or the back end will never come around. Maybe I'll try it in my work parking lot next time it snows.
