How to Drift with a Front-Wheel Drive Electronic Handbrake?
2 Answers
Handbrake has a range of braking force adjustment, allowing manual control of the force, which enables quick locking and releasing of the wheels. It controls the brake band motor through a switch to achieve parking brake, and it locks instantly when activated.
Drifting with a front-wheel-drive electronic handbrake does require skill. Before entering the corner, you need to build up enough speed to induce oversteer. While controlling the steering wheel with your left hand, quickly pull up the electronic handbrake button with your right hand—remember to pull it swiftly, not hold it down. This action will instantly lock the rear wheels, causing the tail to slide outward. The key is to sharply turn the steering wheel while pulling the handbrake, pointing the nose in your intended direction. As the rear wheels regain traction, immediately apply throttle to maintain momentum, or you won't be able to straighten out. This type of drifting wears tires heavily, so it's best to practice in a closed area.
