Finally got the balls to try this,. Lifted the hand brake to drift a rotary, and the back slid out real nice. Then I completely spun out, hit a guard rail, and just destroyed my lancer GTS, but in style 😎

"You're probably not a sporty guy" MAYBE IM JUST POOR MY DUDE

"Front wheel drive = automatic transmission" You can't be more American than this

He looks like the type of dude to vape at a red light

this is going to be the result of so many wrecked honda’s and corollas

Perfect for rental cars

"Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, with loss of traction in only the rear wheels" I like this definition better. It makes sense

"If you drive FWD you're probably driving an automatic because you're not a sporty guy" Hot hatch owners are triggered

"you can not drift a front wheel car" 10secs lader: soo guys we gonna teach u how to drift with frontwheel car

the Japanese love sliding fwd cars. dont hate. appreciate.

This dude's tires: *loud squealing* Subtitles: *A P P L A U S E*

I rolled my minivan trying this

“If you own a FWD car you’re probably not a sporty guy” bruh some of the coolest cars are FWD XD

You can drift anything as well as Eurobeat music played

Only time I can drift my fwd car is when it snows and not always on purpose

"Its not a drift if it's a fwd, you're just dragging ass, anyways today I'm here to show you how to dRiFt your fwd car"

* Watches Tokyo Drift once *

Now can you teach us how the Saudi’s drift. Like if you you want to see Chelsea do Arab style drifting.

Remember that super old Top Gear video where Jeremy taught us how to drift a FWD car?

I used to do this all the time with my first car. Until i realized how expensive tires were. 😂

“Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, with loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control and driving the car through the entirety of a corner. Car drifting is caused when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa, also known as opposite lock or counter-steering).”

In America: 9 times out of 10 the car is automatic. In Britain: 9999 times out of 10000 the car is manual.

“You’re probably not a sporty guy” me with my 300hp gti: yeah ok bud

This is my second time watching this video and I've actually seen people who don't even need the hand brake or the foot brake, because a FWD's advantage in drifting is that depending on how sharp corner is you can just use entry speed and momentum to get the car sideways. So I'm not sure why he says that FWD drifting isn't drifting because the fact of the matter is that it is drifting just faster and in some ways more difficult. And the fact that he just decided to completely disrespect FWD cars and car owners within the first minute of the video makes him look really ridiculous considering that in professional drifting there are people who spend time and effort on their Civics or Preludes and actually drifting just as good as the Silvias or AE86s on the same track. FWD drifting IS drifting so is AWD and excluding FWD from the drifting category because it isn't as common to see or easy to drift isn't right for the people who have spent much more time effort and skill into drifting their FWD cars. So please don't disrespect the kind of cars that many people who drift cherish because they spent time and effort into their FWD cars by making them unique and successful drift cars

“You’re probably not a sporty guy” Buddy, I don’t have a car

This guy just made me want to sell my car

i’ve never seen someone have so much confidence in speaking on something they absolutely have no clue about😂

Throttle control in a front wheel is also important! It along with your steering angle determines where the front of the car is going to go, especially in the snow and ice, if you just stomp on it you’ll spin out and understeer, feel the rpm and traction cause there are a few corners in my area I like to have my rear end pass my front, turn full lock into the slide and give it gas to just before losing traction, then slowly correct the steering and it pulls the car straight without loosing as much speed. for the backwards entry it’s not that he has to go faster he has to lock the steering the other way and he will go backwards. Cool introductory video, only complaints is the car is auto (manual is my preference) and he says front wheel drive sliding isn’t drifting; it is considered power sliding yes but does not matter if you drive rear wheel or front wheel, have some fun and know your car, the reason I prefer manual is because it connects you to the car more. Feel all four corners and the flex of the car after you know your vehicle it will tell you how to play around without hurting it. But either way if you are going to drift my only plea is you don’t go into the top end of your rpms, have a spare set of tires you’ll put on when you’ve burnt these ones out and spare break pads. Stay safe have fun

Idk, even in japan they accept that fwd and awd can drift. Drifting can be done in any car, regardless of drivetrain. However as a sport, its traditionally rwd. Stop being an elitist.

"If you got a front wheel drive car you're not sporty" **cries in manual Audi S3**

That's how I initially was doing drifts as well, but then I figured out a way you can do drifts without using the ebrake, simply keep any traction control devices off which you should be doing even using the E brake method, enter the turn at a higher rate of speed, start your turn on the wheel and floor it, the car will begin to slide and the rear end will slide out, then you have to feather the gas back and forth to get to grab and slide depending on how far you want it to drift. I do it all the time in a Acura TL. I alway turn off my traction control whenever I drive my car unless it's raining or snowing, but I don't like the car how it handles with it on, in an emergency on dry pavement it can cause an accident. I use to drift rear wheel cars all the time but the Acura was and is my first front wheel drive car, so I had to practice doing it and used a large open parking lot so as not to hit stuff. The Acura by the way is bone stock, no special aftermarket handling shocks, stock Bridgestone tires, doesn't even have an aftermarket breather. I didn't know about the differential issue a person commented on, hmmm I have to look into that one, I've been doing this for several years with no issues...yet, but if I find out more about this being a potential issue I may have to backoff from doing wheel spins with the car. I've always been hard on cars though.

Came here to learn how to drift my tl after the intro I don’t even want anymore 🥲

Better Title: "How We Usually Drive Our Rental Cars w/ Chelsea Denofa"

I want a RWD car so damn badly... but my supercharged Monte Carlo is nothing to laugh at

When ur thankful for the car your parents choose you as a surprise but still want to have fun

I drifted my outlander sport with no handbrake on a tight corner going 45 mph. You just have to turn hard into the corner going fast and then only counter-steer after you've mostly made it through your turn. The counter-steer is very subtle, don't overdue it and end up in a ditch.

That backwards entry was amazing 😉

How to drift a FWD car......... When approaching corner DON'T turn into corner, TURN OUT. If you start heading off road, you're on the right track, now apply full throttle. Hopefully you'll crash and ride off your FWD car, now you can claim insurance and buy a RWD. You're now a Professional FWD drifter.

I only do this in the wet to prevent tire damage. But I found the explanations confusing saying "pull up the hand brake and lift/drop your left hand" why not just say turn left or right?

Great video, i have myself a Peugeot 205 field car and i have been sliding arround with it for this winter and i have noticed on that car you can pump the gas (and also modulate the handbrake) to keep the slide going for further and have also linked a whole garage, but im prety sure that would not work in summer conditions.

Thanks man, my grandma was asking me about how to do this. Cheers.

This is how you destroy ebrakes and cv axles 😂

If ur in a manual just have highish revs, drop to second gear, break traction with wheels by quickly turning into the corner (early) slide through the bend, and throttle when ur about the slide off the road

Heard the first part and didn’t need to watch anymore 😂😂 I like this guy 🤣

if you saw a conorsev video you wouldnt be saying fwd drifting isnt drifting

Front wheel trying to drift not a sporty guy? Hmmm...u can do some crazy shit with front wheel bro

I have a front wheel drive auto with 100 hp i love the honesty in the intro and great explaining on the how to cause thats exactly how i drift. I know its not pro but cmon its still drifting i have 2 kids i dont have time or money for mods right now.

"Can't drift a fwd car" . . . Saudi's : Hold my qawa

0:12 seconds Front wheel drifting is not drifting ,..,..,. 0:35 we ARE gonna teach you how to drift a front wheel drive car

Only a minute in and I dont like him sorry

You can also just gain a little speed from start and yank the steering wheel to the left to go left and to the right to turn right. It’ll throw the rear out and burn some rubber. I circled my buddy’s car doing this and it was fun and smelly as heck. The idea is to get rear balance off.

Great to know, now I can drift my 1992 Cadillac Seville, probably gonna go wrong but it’s worth a shot! 😂

Cant wait to see your video from formula drift, see your point of view of those rad enties and chase runs

"I cant go fast enough i need to go faster" nek minute he goes fd level entry on that shit hahaha

Just got my first car last week. Mazda 3 in fact. I must give this a go looks like a bit of a fun

This guy makes it seem so easy

Ive been doing this since i was 13 😂in my dads car was fwd and my uncle had a truck that i used to slide daily 😂i miss those days

Random Mobile Games: Our FWD cars can drift the best! NFSU: Hold mah beer 👌

I wrote off 3 of my mates fwd cars, thanks for the tips I might buy a rear wheel drive 😂

I, a RWD, is showing this video to my friend, a FWD, and this man is roasting my friend lmao

So this is how you trained for St. Louis 😂

tried this, went to fast and hit a wall, now my rear subframe is bent, fssss

i've already said my piece in other comment but one thing to keep in mind, the longer you hold the ebrake on the more damaged your rear tires will be. wherever your tire meets the ground when you start is where the damage is going to be. i haven't perfected or even thought about it until now but if you really wanna do this often without replacing tires weekly then practice releasing the e brake mid drift and turning another direction and hope that the e brake doesn't lock the tires in the same position

Best Front Wheel Drive drift video on the KZfaq

I'm gonna try it now. Wish me luck!

Great I'll see see you at Parc with my Integra

what if i am on a handbrake turn and my outer rear tyre bursts..how will i tackle the situation..i am pretty sure u have faced the same issue sometime

Naaah that backward entry was sick af🔥

Normal peeps: use handbrake to drift an FF. Saudis: excuse me no.

So much snark, I'm over here falling out of my chair laughing. Keep up the good( let's not do more FWD drift videos) work, and keep kicking ass.

us young ppl dont have money to buy RWD cars, so we try to have fun as much as we can in our boring FWD cars and this is the best you can do on it

It just dawned on me that I've never owned a RWD car. 86 Golf GT - fwd manual, 91 Grand Prix - fwd auto, 97 200SX - fwd manual, 2006 Sentra - fwd manual, 2012 Camry - fwd auto, 2019 Civic Si - fwd manual, 2020 Civic SI - fwd manual. The only RWD cars I've ever driven were a 2018 Charger and a 67 Mustang.

Really, no Scandinavian flicks? You gave zero effort in this video.

At Ebisu there literally putting PVC rings on the rear wheels of their front wheel drive cars and dragging ass "drifting" them. Not gonna lie looks cheap and fun as hell.

Like how I drifted my Altima! '96. Just be sure to adjust your handbrake so you can properly adjust your input if you have a newer car especially.

Loved the video!

When you turn the subtitles of the video on sometimes when you hear the sounds of reving engine the subtitles sees it like [Music]

8:19 Sliding into dms like

Definitely not a silly video l was looking for this information on how to slide/drift with a fwd car!

The Japanese guys do it effortlessly and actually looks good. Nice vid tho

I thought you we're at ebisu when that Japanese dude was drifting a fwd eg

"If you have a fwd car your probably not a sporty guy and drive an automatic" Me with a manual fwd car: sure mate

Hello was curious to know if you have footage in the cabin of how it looks when you are counter steering?

In snowy weather, with FWD, you would have to physically correct the steering after the drift and hand brake because of no traction. In full traction environment, the wheel/steering, will correct itself based on physics and traction of wheel being dragged from the curve.

8:25 is where he starts doing reverse entry

Hop off bro, i love my TDI Jetta 😂

so I’ve never come across this before; when you go into drift the wheel automatically pulls itself into the counter steering (opposite) direction? drift left and the wheel automatically follows to the right?

I have a volvo v50 manual 1.8L when i put the hand break up i can use the throttle to drag the var forward in a 45°-60° angle so it is possible to use the gas to control the drift

no no no no no no no. you do not use the handbrake you use the old Scandinavian flick like in rallies. you also make sure that in front wheel drive your front wheels are wider with more grip than the back wheels. you can easily take a front wheel drive car around tight bends faster than a rear wheel drive car. on a rear wheel drive car once the driving wheels start to lose traction in your powerslide they cease to make any reasonable traction and acceleration there for you start to lose speed. using the Swedish flick tactic you can slide out the back wheels by momentum alone while your front wheels continue to accelerate the car us losing no speed on that tight hairpin.

Won't this damage the handbrake?

Yeah but is it possible to slide the car as such with an electronic e-brake rather than having the standard stick e-brake? I have a 2016 maxda 6 it has an electronic e-brake and above speeds greater than 20-25 it says to service e-brake.

“Power slide” and “drift” are both fun but very very different, usually with a drift you’re in a rear wheel drive car you can use the hand Brake for clutch if you have a front wheel drive car all you can do is power slide

This is rally drifting most of the rally car are fwd or awd

Dude, all you need is a Chevy cavalier with lunch trays and a 50 dollar body kit.

I know Goodyear is loving this

I actually did this a few months ago in my 05 corolla doing 60 then pulled the ebrake, which in turn made me spun out. Almost went into this big pond but nothing was damaged (thankfully).

Backies lol, fun video!! And I would agree that FWD drifting isn't real drifting 99.999% of the time, but there's an Australian guy who goes by Conorsev here on KZfaq, and what he manages to do with FWD is actually rather impressive...he can tandem!

How to drift a fwd like a pro Step 1. Drive fwd to carlot Step 2. Trade fwd for rwd Step 3. Practice,practice,practice

Drifting is an art and most people think the feat requires a rear-wheel-drive car with a 1000+ hp engine and a hydraulic handbrake. Wrong. You can do FWD drifting too. It will take lots of practice, patience, and following proper safety rules. Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, with loss of traction, while maintaining control and driving the car through the entirety of a corner. Therefore it is still drifting, you cannot just say it isn’t because it’s not your preferred technique.

As someone w a fwd, the beginning is so respectable
