Choku-Dori - This is done by swaying the car’s weight back and forth on straightaways, using countersteer and throttle to maintain a large angle. This is a show maneuver that usually involves many cars following the same line.

Braking Drift - This drift is performed by braking into a corner, so that the car can transfer weight to the front. This is immediately followed by throttle in a RWD car causes the rear wheels to lose traction. FWD cars can also use this technique as it does not depend on the rear wheels being driven. 
Inertia (Feint) drift, or Scandinavian flick - This is done by transferring the weight of car towards the outside of a turn by first turning away from the turn and then quickly turning back using the inertia of the rear of the car to swing into the desired drifting line. Sometimes the hand-brake will be applied while transferring the weight of the car towards the outside to lock the rear wheels and help the rear swing outwards. This type of drifting causes the car to accelerate faster afterwards, because of momentum built up while drifting. 
Kansei, Lift off, or Taking In - By letting off the accelerator while cornering at very high speeds, cars with relatively neutral handling will begin to slide, simply from the weight transfer resulting from engine braking. The drift is controlled afterwards by steering inputs from the driver and light pedal work, similar to the Braking drift.

Hand-brake or Emergency brake drift - While the clutch is depressed, the hand-brake is pulled to induce rear traction loss. As soon as traction is lost, the driver releases the clutch, depresses the accelerator, and countersteers. This is generally the main technique to attempt to drift a FWD car (clutch unnecessary). Also, this technique is used heavily in drift competitions to drift large corners, or to trim the car’s line mid-drift. 

Power oversteer or Powerslide - This drift is performed when entering a corner at full throttle to produce heavy oversteer through the turn. The excess power causes the drive wheels to lose traction in a RWD or AWD car. This is the most typical drifting technique for all-wheel drive cars. 

Shift lock (compression slide) - Initiated by downshifting (usually from third to second or fourth to third, and using a very fast shift) instead of braking, without rev-matching, causing the drive wheels to lock momentarily. Helpful for very tight corners, allowing the driver to approach the corner at a slower speed and lower revs, while allowing quick acceleration when exiting the corner. This technique can be very damaging to the engine if mis-used as the ECU is unable to rev limit when the engine is oversped by the rear wheels. Premature downshifters are called “Rod Stretchers”. 

Clutch kick - This is done by “kicking” the clutch (pushing in, then out, usually more than one time in a drift for adjustment in a very fast manner) to send a shock through the powertrain, upsetting the car’s balance. This causes the rear wheels to slip.

In the following article we will discuss how to heel-toe(also known as heel-toe shifting) and how it applies to learning how to drift.

First off lets explain what heel-toe shifting is:

Heel-and-toe is a driving technique used in performance driving. It involves operating the accelerator and brake pedals simultaneously with the right foot, while facilitating normal activation of the clutch with the left foot. It is used when braking and downshifting simultaneously (like when going around a turn), and allows the driver to “blip” the throttle to raise the engine speed and smoothly engage the lower gear.(From wikipedia.org)

Why is this drifting technique so important?

As you approach a corner, you are generally in a higher gear accelerating toward the corner. As you enter the corner you are breaking and reducing your speed.

If you keep reducing your speed but stay in the higher gear, you wont be in the correct gear to give you the best acceleration out of the corner (or in the case of a drift, you wont have the power to keep your tires spinning through the corner)

Using heel-toe you can keep your car in its “power band” which basically means you have the maximum power throughout the whole corner.

Ok so you are probably convinced that heel toe shifting is something you should know how to do. Heel toe shifting is a fundamental part of drifting your car. If you are a beginner, this is one of the drifting instructions that you will need to practice a lot before really learning to drift your car.

When you are practicing your first REAL drift, knowing how to heel-toe is going to be very helpful. And unlike drifting, heel toe is quite safe to practice. IF you are serious about drifting, then this is a good place to start.  The site Car Drifting Explained at http://www.cardriftingexplained.com is an excellent resource on finding all of the drifting techniques.

So get out there and try it using the following instructions:

You can practice this technique practically anywhere. You don’t have to be going fast to do it.

1) While you are approaching a corner begin braking

2) Continue braking while you turn

3) Push the clutch in

4) Use the side of your foot to press down the accelerator so that your engine revs up.

5) Shift into a lower gear (in your case you’ll probably be going from 3rd to 2nd) and at the same time, you slide your foot off the brake and on to the accelerator.

TIP: Try to time the downshift so it matches the point where you would normally start accelerating through the corner.

That’s all it takes! Keep practicing, and good luck!
