Such a turn, for one turn, few people do in practice. Even in films, 90 and 180-degree turns are more often used. For a full circle turn, a vehicle with increased power is required.
360 turn order:
- Accelerate the car to a speed of 80 to 90 km / h.
- Without releasing the gas pedal, press the clutch pedal.
- We shift the speed to a lower gear while turning the steering wheel.
- Raise the handbrake with the button pressed (do not release the button).
- After that, the car will begin to turn around and after you feel that the car has turned more than half a turn, release the handbrake, release the clutch pedal and gas. With the help of the steering wheel and clutch, we bring the maneuver up to 360 degrees.
U-turn on asphalt
Without preparing a front-wheel drive car, you can start taking lessons in drifting and turning in the winter when the surface is slippery. If a section of the road is slippery, then a sign is installed Slippery road in the village for 50-100 meters, outside the village - for 150-300 meters.
For summer training, you must first prepare the car:
- For better grip with the road, the front wheels (drivers) are installed with wide tires;
- on rear wheels install narrow tires;
- adjust suspension;
- adjust cable hand brake;
- set the engine to maximum power(If low compression in cylinders, make repairs).
Tip: In order to reduce the cost of drifting, you should install “bald” tires on the rear wheels. You can get it for free at tire shops.
Reversal technique
WITH rear rubber without protectors, it is enough to accelerate to 60 km / h, enter a turn with a handbrake and the car will easily start to wind. Adjustment is done by steering wheel and gas.
Skidding rule: turn the steering wheel in the direction in which the car skids.

Drift on front wheel drive in summer.
Drift on a front wheel drive car Lada Priora(Lada Priora).
The most difficult drift trick.
How to drift on the front wheel drive (VAZ 2114).
Most motorists believe that it is impossible to perform a full-fledged drift in a car with an automatic transmission. In extreme cases, you can enter a controlled, to some extent, drift. Another category of motorists, in general, tries not to experiment with automatic transmission, so as not to damage it. But, after all, there are such extreme people who are not afraid to ditch the box and boldly drift on the track. So what is their secret? Let's figure it out.
To begin with, let's look at all the switching modes of an automatic transmission: basic and additional.
- P (from English park) - parking lock. Drive wheels are blocked parking brake, but by the locking mechanism, which is located inside the machine box itself;
- R (from English reverse), "Zx" - on domestic models – reverse. It is allowed to turn on when the car is completely stopped, on modern machines there is a lock;
- N (from English neutral), "N" - neutral mode. It turns on when towing a short distance and when stopping for a short time;
- D (from English drive), "D" - forward movement. All transmissions are enabled
- or all, except for raising the level;
- L (English low), "Tx" (quiet running) or "PP" (forced down) downshift, used for movement in complex traffic situation or in dense stream machines.
Additional automatic transmission modes
- (D), or O / D - overdrive (stage, where gear ratio less than 1). Driving mode with automatic switching for overdrive. Is used for uniform motion on the road.
- D3, or O / D OFF - only 1, 2 and 3 gears, or overdrive off. This mode is suitable for urban traffic and is active.
- S (2) - range of downshifts (1 and 2, or only 2). Suitable for driving in winter conditions;
- L (1) - the second range of downshifts (only 1 gear).
Competent work with automatic transmission and acceleration practically does not affect the life of the box. The main problem of the automatic transmission is the nervous shifting of gears, depending on the position of the accelerator pedal and the speed of rotation of the wheels. In stationary mode, when the stabilization system is on, the speed of rotation of the wheels and the speed of movement are synchronized, therefore only the position of the accelerator pedal and the speed of movement, which cannot change abruptly, affect the choice of gear. Another thing is if the stabilization system is turned off.
For example, you want to start spectacularly and for this you press the gas pedal to the floor. The car, despite your efforts, does not budge. At this time, the wheel spins up to a speed of 120 km / h per second, the automatic transmission manages to climb 3-4 steps up and shift into fifth gear in this second. The car continues to stand still. Finally, it dawns on you that something is going wrong (the car is not moving!), so, following the logic, you release the gas. The wheels stop in 1-2 seconds, which means that a downshift must be engaged, usually the second one. That is, the automatic transmission shifts gears down in a shock in the opposite direction. Another such regassing on the spot and the automatic transmission will enter protection mode, from where you can walk or take a tow truck straight to the car service.
There are two ways to fix this problem:
- Do not turn off the stabilization system. True, if you want to drift, we dismiss this method right away.
- Turn on manual mode Automatic transmission (not D and not DS). So and only so you can podriftovat on the machine. The transmission will become fixed, but also within reasonable limits, as soon as the engine starts to reproduce 7 thousand revolutions, it will still turn on overdrive, if you stop, reset to the second.
There is another problem - a possible reversal. Reverse in forward gear automatic transmission does not like it, but on modern automatic transmissions with incorrect driving, the car, in general, stalls. There is only one way out of this problem: if you think that a U-turn is imminent, first put the automatic transmission into neutral without pressing the release button on the automatic transmission handle.
- So, we are standing still. Turn off the system DSC stabilization long, for 3-4 seconds, by pressing the button. A yellow triangle lights up on the dashboard, which means that the systems are turned off.
- We put the automatic transmission handle in position D. On dashboard the letter D lights up. Then we move the lever to the left to the DS position. If in this position the automatic transmission handle is moved forward or backward, M will light up on the panel with the number of the included stage. On the spot, you can turn on the 1st or 2nd. It is better to immediately 2nd, so that when entering a turn, there is no automatic reset of the gears down, followed by spinning the wheels;
- At a reasonable speed, we drive up to the turn, turn the steering wheel slightly in the opposite direction from it, and then even less towards the skid to reach the corner cut point:
- In the meantime, we raise the handbrake, with the return button on the lever clamped with a finger, release it in a second, the car goes into a skid. Press on the gas at the same time.
Keep in mind, the more gas, the more radius and the less gas, the smaller the radius. Ideally, there should be a constant radius and the same gas so that the drift is uniform in amplitude. This will allow you to change the position of the steering wheel less.
- When exiting a turn, keep your foot on the accelerator so that there is no jerking of the accelerator. throttle valve at the same time it should be fully open, or half.
- The final stage of the cross-slip will be the alignment of the car on the road, for which we smoothly release the accelerator, releasing the gas.
- In case something goes wrong, there is always a discount for N - neutral (without pressing the release button).
There are two other turning methods that do not involve the use of a handbrake - these are counter-shift and counter-skid.
The very name of the maneuver contains its meaning - this is a preliminary displacement of the car, in the opposite direction to the turn. For example, if the driver, moving in the middle of the track, before the left turn, with a smooth, rounding maneuver directs the car to right side of the road, and then sharply turns it to the left, aiming to pass not at the top of the turn, but a little earlier, at the point of the cut of the corner. These manipulations allow you to rock the car and make the rear wheels slide to outside turn. If there is not enough power to increase the rotation of the machine, then after countershifting, it is required to downshift in reverse and all-wheel drive, and on the front-wheel drive, completely release the gas.
Among motorists in Russian Federation a very common question: is it possible to drift on the front wheel drive? Or is it possible to do this only on prepared machines? That this is impossible is just a myth. Even an unprepared driver will be able to skid on such a machine. For a successful drift, you only need to have theoretical basis and do everything successfully and as confidently as possible. And, of course, experience will come with practice. After reading the article, you will learn how to drift on the front wheel drive.
Complexity
Initially, with the advent of such a thing as "drift", there was a false opinion that it was possible only on machines with rear wheel drive. The front wheels only determine the path of the car. However, the front-wheel drive is different: when skidding, the wheels not only make up the drift path, but also play the role of traction during movement. Thanks to this, the car receives many advantages, such as easier handling and stability. That is why drifting on a front-wheel drive is considered difficult or even impossible. The car is constantly straightening. So how do you drift front-wheel drive? We will deal with this process a little later. Now we need to understand what it is all about.
We diligently and scrupulously collected information bit by bit, we prepared a whole series of materials on how drift was born what is it and . We have even begun to think that we have given exhaustive answers to the questions, which car is suitable for drifting and why it is impossible to drift on the front wheel drive. But we were wrong!
Warning: almost everything listed and mentioned in this article is a good joke and seasoned with a fair amount of humor. Take it all with a smile and enjoy it with us.
nissan skyline? Toyota Supra? Nissan Silvia? Rear drive? Samoblok? Limited slip differential? Pfft, I'm begging you! Plank! Two planks!
Who would have thought that all the canons and standards of drifting, all the strict and important requirements, all the necessary specifications and equipment can be crossed out and refuted without resorting to any serious tricks or alterations, without using any specific means, and without spending a penny of money at all! It is enough just to go outside, find a small plank at the nearest construction site, timber trade base or just a trash can, break it in half with a slight movement of your foot - and voila! Drift car is ready!
Well, of course, provided that you have the “car” itself, because you have already provided it with a “drift”. Moreover, unlike all the complex and dreary things that we wrote before, you don’t need any powerful rear-wheel drive car - on the contrary, your front-wheel drive “nine”, Logan, Solaris, Polo sedan or Ford Focus is the most the best choice! And we do not limit you at all: it will fit and new bmw X1, and Tavria - yes, at least the Oka, in the end!
Ready? Go!
After purchasing the coveted wooden drift kit, get in your car and drive to the track. Remember: everything is serious, and the choice of the track must be approached with care and intelligence, the best choice is the same places where other “too rich” drifters spend their races and training, who paid a round sum of money for their cars just to drive sideways . There will be enough space to hone your technique without endangering spectators, bystanders and other drivers. We are responsible adults, aren't we?
And here we are. It remains only to prepare the car for arrival. To do this, you also do not need a jack, no tools, no mechanics, or anything else. Get out of the car, put planks (sorry, drift kit) in front of the rear wheels, get back behind the wheel, run over them and put the car on the handbrake (how does it not work for you? what kind of drift without a handbrake?). All! You are delightful and ready to conquer new heights of automotive excellence! Key to start!
Yes, yes, now it remains only to move off and start laying dashing pirouettes, putting the car sideways, performing police U-turns and twisting the "donuts" (though without the "donuts" themselves, because there will be no black marks left on the pavement). At the same time, everything will be absolutely grown-up for you: the car is controlled by gas and steering wheel, and even chips and tricks are available, such as counter-shift and re-gas! At the same time, there are solid advantages: while enjoying the glide, you absolutely do not spoil the rubber, do not “kill” the handbrake in sharp jerks on the go, you don’t force the engine with huge speeds to maintain slippage and skid, and you don’t even wear out the clutch with constant “clutch kicks”. You easily and gracefully slide in a skid, shifting the car from side to side, and even the air conditioner can not be turned off at the same time - no self-sacrifice and inconvenience, pure "fan", pure pleasure!
You can enjoy new sensations for quite a long time - until one of two things happens: either you roll over, or the boards wear out or burn out. And believe me - the second will happen much earlier than the first! At the same time, having worn out one “drift kit”, you will again look at the owners of rear-wheel drive equipment with a bewildered and compassionate look: each set of rubber costs a lot of money for them, and your set of boards costs almost nothing! So the next time you hit the track, make sure you get a few pairs of drift gear.
It should be noted that this type of entertainment exists not only in Russia, but also abroad. True, people there, as a rule, are much less concerned with the issue of environmental friendliness of races and use plastic trays as a “drift kit” rather than planks. Why is that, guys? Go green! Indeed, for such a ride it is not at all necessary to use specially prepared accessories - any piece of wood is quite enough, so cutting down forests for competitions is not our method, but finely rubbed plastic is clearly not the most useful substance for nature.
A moment of boring formalities
Be that as it may, in English-speaking countries this type of entertainment was nicknamed "tray drifting" drift on trays, and in our country it is, accordingly, called "drift on planks". And there is a more general and professional term: sliding (from English sliding - sliding). Of course, to call all this a drift would be too much great luxury, and in previous articles we have already classified such things as force sliding.
Among motorists in the Russian Federation, the question is very common: is it possible to drift on the front wheel drive? Or is it possible to do this only on prepared machines?

The car is constantly straightening. So how do you drift front-wheel drive? We will deal with this process a little later. Now we need to understand what it is all about.
Controlled skid
If you do not understand the whole essence of the topic, then the training will be useless and will not give results at all. The drift begins only at the moment when rear end vehicle loses traction. At this time, the position of the front wheels changes in relation to the rear, while reducing the grip rear wheels and increase it to the front. This is how the drift will work.
Controlled skid quite difficult to do, as this requires experience. During the drift, you must adjust the steering wheel and gas supply so that the car can, if anything, level out. If you feel that the movement of the steering wheel does not lead to the movement of the wheels, then you are in an uncontrolled skid. It is worth noting that it is easier to make this skid on ice and snow, since the grip of the wheels is much weaker there. And at the same time, you should not think that you need to learn how to drift. In such places it is much more difficult to manage a skid, so you can get into a deplorable situation and even crash.
How to learn?
The ability to perform a controlled drift in a car with rear or front-wheel drive in the world of motorists is considered a sign of high driver skill. To learn, you must first learn the theoretical part. And then practice and do it in practice. And most importantly, don't do it on busy roads and roads, as you may be involved in an accident where you are at fault. And in the worst case, you can crash. Perform actions in specially designated areas where everyone is practicing to make a controlled skid. In general, how to drift on the front wheel drive is understandable. It is worth considering the tricks that can be performed with a controlled skid.
Remember!
Drifting is very easy, even in a front-wheel drive car. A bunch of modern machines have a stabilization system, which is important to turn off before performing a controlled skid.
To successfully perform any tricks with a controlled skid, you need to work it out very well and learn how to feel the car.
By the way, how to drift on the front-wheel drive on the machine? Everything happens in exactly the same way as in the back, but you will not need to squeeze the clutch, and you will not need to change gears either.
90 degrees
In this drift, the angle is smaller, but it is more difficult to perform. You must always follow the turn of the steering wheel so that the car is under your control.
In order to do everything successfully, you need to turn in the direction of the turn and pull the handbrake, but it is worth remembering that in this case the car can turn 180 degrees. Be careful! To avoid this, you need to align the wheels with the steering wheel and release the handbrake at the right time.
The quality of drift performance depends only on you and the speed of your car. When completed, shift to a lower gear and continue on the road. Such a drift will not work for beginners the first time.
360 degrees
There is no need for this type of drift in everyday driving, as there is simply nowhere to use it on the road and it is very dangerous. It is performed by motorists, only to demonstrate their skills. Do not perform such a trick on ordinary car. You need to have a gearbox with a lock. Here is the sequence of actions that you must follow when performing this drift:
- Accelerate up to 70 km / h.
- Squeeze out the clutch.
- Switch gear.
- Turn the steering wheel sharply and pull the handbrake as hard as possible.
- Then press the gas pedal. The car will smoothly turn another 180 degrees and continue moving.
Such a trick is considered the most spectacular and beautiful.
Skid on asphalt
A front wheel drive car has always been hard to get into a controlled skid on the road. This, as is clear from the information presented in the article, is difficult to do due to the management features. For this reason, many motorists perform the stunt on ice and snow. How to drift in the winter on the front wheel drive? Exactly the same as in summer.
To make your steering better, better and more efficient, you need to make some changes to your car.
- Pick up suspension elements, they must be improved.
- Tighten the handbrake cable tighter.
- Increase engine power or even replace it with a more powerful one.
- Install wide rubber on the front wheels, on the rear - narrow. This way the traction in the back will be worse and drifting will be easier to do.
If you do not want to participate in official competitions on the car, then you should not make these changes.
To perform a controlled skid on the front drive, you can and should resort to other options. You can install small boards under the rear wheels, then they will not have traction. And with this you will be easier to go into turns. And yet, in any case, you can not do without a handbrake.
Finally
Drifting, or controlled skidding, is possible in a front-wheel drive car, but it is much more difficult to accomplish. For a successful trick, you need to study the theory and practice it in life. The article described in detail how to drift on the front wheel drive.
