What is the Principle of Car Drifting?
1 Answers
Car drifting occurs when the rear wheels lose traction while the front wheels maintain grip. Here is relevant information: 1. Common drifting techniques: Handbrake turn: Using the handbrake to lock the rear wheels, causing them to lose traction and move in a circular motion. Since the vehicle brakes suddenly, the body swings dramatically, making this type of drift visually impressive. The handbrake is used when sharp turns are needed. The specific procedure is: Before turning, reduce speed, then apply the handbrake upon entering the curve, adjusting its intensity and duration based on road conditions and speed. Using the handbrake while driving may cause damage. 2. Clutch kick: During entry into a curve, quickly press and release the clutch, creating a sensation of 'kicking' it open, causing the drive wheels to momentarily lose traction, which, combined with steering and braking, induces a slide.
