-Drifting is when you are turning, but sliding with much wheelspin, causing your car to move forwards, but also somewhat to the inside of the turn. The front end keeps traction. This lets you take turns at higher speeds. There are different methods for drifting, so feel free to add your own or rephrase another one.

 == Making Drift Courses ==
 If you want to make your own course to drift in, go to an open course, such as Autocross (Autocross section). Press Shift-U. This should open up a menu that allows you to place objects, such as barriers, cones, and tires. Also, there is some way to set up a system to award points for drifting. I don't know how, so if anyone knows how, please edit this article and tell how to.(EDIT: i believe you need experience in the coding engine C++)

 Starting with basic techniques, then onto more advanced.
-Swaying Drift:
+'''Swaying Drift''':
 This technique is very basic,
 This is a slow side-to-side faint like drift where the rear end sways back and forth down a straight.
-Braking drift:
+'''Braking drift''':
 This is performed by trail braking into a corner, then loss of grip is obtained & then balanced through steering and throttle inputs.
 (Note that this is mainly for medium to low speed corners.)
-E-Brake Drift:
+'''E-Brake Drift''':
 Pull the E-Brake or (hand brake) to induce rear traction loss and balance drift through steering and throttle play.
 (Note that this can also be used to correct errors or fine tune drift angles.)
-Power Over:
+'''Power Over''':
 This performed when entering a corner,Using full throttle to produce heavy over-steer through the turn.
 (Note that you need "horsepower" to make this happen.)
-Clutch Kick:
+'''Clutch Kick''':
 This is performed by depressing the clutch pedal on approach or during a mild drift,then pop the clutch to give a sudden jolt through the drive-line to upset rear traction.
-Faint Drift:
+'''Faint Drift''':
 This is performed by rocking the car towards the outside of a turn and then using the rebound of grip to throw the car into the normal cornering direction.
 (Note that this is "heavy rally racing" technique used to change vehicle attitudes during cornering, mainly tight mountain corners.
-Dirt Drop Drift:
+'''Dirt Drop Drift''':
 This is performed by dropping the rear tires off the road into the dirt to maintain or gain drift angle without losing power or speed and to set up for the next turn. (Note that this technique is very useful for low horsepower cars.)
-Shift Lock:
+'''Shift Lock''':
 This is performed by letting the revs drop on downshift into a corner and then releasing the clutch to put stress on the drive-line to slow the rear tires inducing over steer. This is like pulling the E-brake through a turn - note that this should be performed in the wet to minimize damage to the drive-line, etc.
-Long Slide Drift:
+'''Long Slide Drift''':
 This is done by pulling the E-brake through a strait to start a high angel drift and to hold this to set up for the turn ahead.
 (Note that this can only be done at high speed.)
-Kansei Drift:
+'''Kansei Drift''':
 This is performed at race speeds, when entering a high speed corner a driver lifts his foot off the throttle
 to induce a mild over steer,then balances the drift through steering and throttle motions.

-FF Drift:
+'''FF Drift''':
 For those front wheel drive drifters.. :D
 The E-brake as well as steering and braking techniques must be used to balance the car through a corner.
 (Note that the E-brake is the main technique used to balance the drift.)
-If this technique is not working very well for you, be patient. find your own technique, and style of drifting by experimenting with your clutch, accelerator, and even brakes. doing what is called a "clutch kick" is when you depress the clutch pedal and let the RPM's drop down, then release the clutch and turn to the side you wish to drift. if you use the brakes, in a way that they will not lock but push the weight toward the front of the car, then you can also drift very easily. if you have a very loose setup, that drifts easily, you can use the throttle agressively to start power oversteer, then just use what you know to keep a decent angle, and not spin. if you still are not drifting how you want to, then be sure to check out "drift bible" on youtube.com.

 Hope it helps :)
- This is how I drift. As you are coming up to a turn, turn somewhat to the outside of the turn. Then turn back to the inside of the turn. This will make the car lose some traction and it will start sliding. At this point, you should be pointed to the inside of the turn. Now, give the car full throttle (or at least more). This will help to lose rear traction and force the car to the inside of the turn. Now, the car won't be moving in the direction it's pointing, but somewhat to the outside of the turn. It can help to start tapping the clutch. This generally seems to make the drift easier, but all in all give the car a bit more traction, somewhat slowing you down. If, during the drift, your car begins to turn too far towards the inside of the turn, turn the wheel to the outside and let off the gas a bit. Of course, learning to drift can take a while, so try testing your own techniques and use whatever works for you. (If you want to add a way to drift, don't delete other ones that could work for some people).
