Learning to drift - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Well I'm new to RWD vehicles and I'm new to drifting but any tips for learning how to get sideways? I began going in a circle and mashing the throttle to control going in a circle but when i tried E-brake method while going i just seemed to not have enough juice~

any tips?

Have you watched the Drift Bible with Keichi Tsuchiya? That's a good place to start for understanding all of the theory and techniques involved, should be available on youtube.

If you're at the jersey shore, look into clubloose and sign up to drift at one of their events. You'll run in C group, and if you ask they will put someone knowledgable (i.e. a professional, most have competed in XDC or formula D) in the car with you to teach you what to do.

Don't learn on the street, especially if you don't understand the basic principles of drifting - you'll kill somebody.

Also, you shouldn't/won't need to pull the e-brake if you're already doing donuts. E-Brake is mostly used to initiate drift or to maintain a slide but you need to be going at a decent speed for it to be effective - it's not going to do you any good if you're just going around in circles.
