Drifting is a driving technique used in motorsports and racing games, where the driver intentionally oversteers to cause the rear wheels to lose traction while maintaining control of the car through a corner. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to drift in a real car or a racing game:

### **1. Prepare the Vehicle (Real Car)**
- **Rear-Wheel Drive:** Drifting is most easily performed with a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) vehicle.
- **Tires:** Use tires with less grip in the rear or lower the tire pressure to make drifting easier.

### **2. Approach the Corner**
- **Speed:** Enter the corner at a moderate speed, not too fast or too slow.
- **Position:** Aim for the outside of the turn to give yourself space to initiate the drift.

### **3. Initiate the Drift**
There are several techniques to initiate a drift. Here are a few common ones:

- **Handbrake Drift (E-Brake)**
- As you approach the corner, pull the handbrake to lock the rear wheels while simultaneously turning the steering wheel towards the corner.
- Release the handbrake quickly and counter-steer (turn the wheel in the opposite direction) to control the drift.

- **Power Over (Throttle) Drift**
- As you enter the corner, apply a burst of throttle to break the traction of the rear wheels.
- Once the rear starts sliding, steer into the drift and modulate the throttle to maintain it.

- **Clutch Kick Drift**
- While driving in a low gear, quickly depress the clutch and rev the engine.
- Release the clutch to send a shock to the drivetrain, causing the rear wheels to break traction.
- Steer into the drift and control it with throttle and counter-steering.

### **4. Maintain the Drift**
- **Throttle Control:** Use the throttle to balance the drift. Too much throttle will cause the car to spin out, while too little will straighten the car.
- **Steering:** Counter-steer to keep the car in the drift. The more you counter-steer, the more control you have over the drift.
- **Balance:** Keep your body and the car balanced to avoid over-rotating or losing control.

### **5. Exit the Drift**
- As you approach the end of the corner, gradually reduce the throttle and straighten the steering wheel.
- Allow the rear wheels to regain traction as you exit the corner smoothly.

### **In Racing Games**
- Use the game controls to initiate the drift, usually by pressing a specific button (e.g., handbrake) or combining steering with throttle inputs.
- Practice in-game to get a feel for how different cars handle and respond to drifting.

### **Safety Note (Real Life)**
- **Practice in a Safe Environment:** Only attempt drifting in a controlled environment, such as a racetrack or a drifting event.
- **Legal and Safe:** Drifting on public roads is illegal and dangerous. Always drift responsibly and within the confines of the law.
