How to Make a Drift Car

First off, get any car.
It can be one you made, or one from the workshop. For this tutorial, I will use my Civetta Bolide, which you can find here.


Next up, select every axle and wheel on the creation.
...and move them as far upwards as you can without making the body scrape the ground, as shown:


You also need to max out the suspension stiffness.


Then select the front axles.
Set the steering lock to 60 degrees and disable the brakes and drive, if applicable.


If you would like,
Customize your car accordingly.
I have also made this finished product available on the workshop here.
How to Drive your New Drift Car
Now your drift car is ready to go for a spin.
Approach a turn in a road. It is safe to execute a drift in a tight corner if you are going slower and vice versa for wide corners like the one shown.

Turn in the direction of the corner and slam on the brakes.
This is why we disabled the front brakes earlier. Since only the back wheels brake, it swings the back out and causes a drift to occur.

Accelerate and start steering in the opposite direction.
If you accelerate too late, you will spin out. Same for accelerating too fast. Find a good inbetween for your car. The large steering lock we applied helps keep us from spinning out but must be managed to keep your car from going off the road.

Release the steering wheel and drive off.
You did it! Show your friends or something.

I know another way to drift... Go to the desert and hit 2nd or 4th gear with a street V8 and slam the car round the cacti, while steering the other way, works best wit muscle cars.

Probally drag engine. The street V8 doesn't go through much gas.

For anyone that still reads this:

I noticed that it helps that while your drifting, if your turning too tight, let go of the accel for small periods and it helps keep a bit more control, this has helped me in so many corners :D
