1) enter with a higher speed, use less angle. Or,
2) learn to do smaller donuts/figure 8s with left foot braking.

The left foot braking is NOT needed, however it's obvious you're not using throttle and weight transfer to your advantage.

I honestly think you need to find a good safe area, set up two cones, and learn figure 8s around them.

One thing that stuck out to me in this vid is the driver bouncing off the rev limiter; we, or at least i cant do that in the FRS, it just cuts the power, which forces me to upshift. This just adds one other thing that takes my attention away from trying to do a smooth drift.
