Ohh and on another note this was my first time drifting and just wanted to thank Kamin , i read the drifting stickies at the top and this one helped me the most ......
so you have initiated, now what?just getting the rear end out is only half the battle. now you have to keep it there and not spin out. this is what I have found to work the best. take it as opinion only as it may not be the "correct" way to do any of it.
lets say you have clutch kicked in the middle of second gear for a standard corner. the kick starts to push the rear end out, you stand on the gas, now what? gently release your grip on the steering wheel letting the car take control of the steering. dont fully remove your hands but rather let the wheel slide through your hands. the rear of the car trying to move past the front will cause the steering wheel to spin faster than you can turn it. once it reaches full lock (you will know when it does ) let off the gas a little bit and turn back away from full lock a little. this will give you playing room if you need to twitch the wheel in eithre direction to help control the slide.
This worked great for me and i felt in controll the whole time, well most of the time. Anyway thanks Kamin, im going back to Fuji next month and hopefully i will improve more.
