One of the most common issues we encounter is overdriving while in a drift. This typically occurs when there isn’t enough throttle input or when there’s a lack of confidence in the chassis to maintain the drift. As a result, drivers tend to "saw" at the steering wheel, constantly turning in, then over-correcting with aggressive countersteer, then turning in again. This cycle can repeat several times per second throughout a single corner. It’s excessive and doesn’t help the car stay in control. I

How to drift!! Donuts! This is how we drift a donut in the dry.. pretty simple! Turn in slightly, pick something and look at it, like a cone.. give it a blip to get the car to step out. Let go of the wheel, catch it, and LOTS OF GAS! Smoke those tires out! You can hear how high we are in the RPMs, most drivers pull back a bit too much and that is when it becomes dangerous. The more throttle you give it, the easier it will be! | Texas Drift Academy

Most drivers think they know every drift trick... until they see this one. In tandem drifting, the chase driver’s job is to stay close to the lead car without overshooting. Everyone knows you can control speed with gas or brakes, but pros have a third option: the clutch. By lightly pressing the clutch halfway, you cut some power to the wheels. That reduces wheel speed without lifting off the throttle, pulling the car back into its grip window. As soon as you feel traction come back, you release

This is an old drift technique you’ve probably never heard of. It’s called slipping the clutch. When you’re chasing, staying close without overshooting is everything. Most drivers rely only on throttle and brake, but pros add another layer, clutch modulation. By lightly pressing the clutch halfway, you reduce power to the rear wheels without lifting off the gas. This helps the car regain grip smoothly. Then, when the tires hook up again, releasing the clutch sends you forward in a controlled bur

Ever wonder how pros catch those big drift entries? Throwing the car sideways is easy, preventing a spin is the hard part. The fix is simple: press the clutch. When the car starts to rotate too far, clutch in. It removes power from the rear wheels and stabilizes the car immediately. Once its settled, quickly come off the clutch and get back in the gas.

A clutch kick is another way to start a drift, instead of using the handbrake or power over. It works best when you already have some momentum. If you’re going too slow, it’ll still work, but you risk stressing and breaking your drivetrain. Here’s how to do it: As you approach the corner, position the car on the outside and turn in. Press the clutch in, then rev up about 3,000 RPM. Pop the clutch out quickly. That sudden shock sends power to the rear wheels, breaking traction and letting the bac

Most drivers think more throttle means more speed in drift. That’s wrong. Here’s a pro-level concept almost nobody understands: wheel speed vs vehicle speed. Wheel speed is how fast the tires spin. Vehicle speed is how fast the car actually moves across the track. If your wheels are spinning way faster than your ground speed, you’re not accelerating, you’re just sliding. It looks fast, makes smoke, but kills momentum. That’s why a car with less wheel speed can actually be faster. The secret is t

Ever wonder how pros save those wild drift entries? It’s easy to throw your car sideways, the real skill is not spinning out when things go wrong. The secret? Push the clutch in. That’s it. When you feel the car starting to spin, press the clutch pedal down. It instantly cuts power to the rear wheels, stopping the spin before it happens. This trick doesn’t just save basic spinouts, it’s also how the world’s best drivers throw their cars hard into corners and stay in control. Here’s what’s happen

Drift timing is one of the harder skills to learn, but with practice, you’ll get it. A good way to start is by practicing transitions at the same time as another car, but from a few car lengths away. This helps you feel your car’s timing before getting closer. -Watch the lead car, but pay attention to the course and whats coming up ahead. -Match their angle. Don’t use more angle than the lead car, or they’ll transition faster and pull away. -Plan your transition. Think about how hard or soft you

here is a pro drift technique you have never heard of.. the relationship between wheel speed and vehicle speed (your actual ground speed). In drifting, these two speeds are almost never the same. Wheel speed is how fast the tires are spinning. Vehicle speed is how fast the car is truly moving across the surface. A major problem for many drivers is running too much wheel speed. When the wheels spin far faster than the car’s ground speed, the tires slide more than they drive. That gap creates angl

Did you know an Ice Drifting car is significantly different from a normal drift car? We start with one of our school cars, but for ice drifting, we make a few key changes. We keep our angle kits and handbrakes, but we remove weaker body panels like side skirts and bumpers. Those have to go, because ice walls hit about as hard as concrete. Next up: 7-millimeter tungsten studs in the tires. These spikes dig deep into the ice, delivering insane grip. And the ice rooster tail? Let’s just say chasing

This is the tip you’ve been waiting for to become a better driver. Most drivers have been taught to use the gas pedal wrong. A perfect drift comes from smooth throttle and smooth hands. What we see all the time: blipping the throttle, smashing it on and off like a light switch. Here’s the truth—that’s incorrect. Yes, there are moments where you’ll need to limit wheel speed or modulate throttle, but those are exceptions, not the rule. The goal is to avoid creating unnecessary corrections. Remembe

This is the trick that sets elite drivers apart. The best drifters don’t just steer with the throttle pedal, they use the footbrake to shape the drift. Here’s the secret: While you’re sideways and on throttle, press the brake with your left foot. Just a light press is enough. You can slow the car a touch without dropping out of the powerband or unsettling the chassis. Handbrake kills speed. Left-foot brake gives you total control of angle, proximity, line… all without breaking the drift. Tag som

Everyone spins until they learn this. The front wheels must match the chassis angle. Most spin-outs happen when the angle changes — entry, adding angle, or transitions. If your steering lags behind the car, you spin. If you hold the wheel, you spin. When the car slides, counter-steer in the direction of the slide. In a good setup, the wheel will follow the chassis if you let it. If it doesn’t move fast enough, help it — throw it or walk it. Letting go feels wrong… but it’s drifting 101. Catch it

Here’s what our Formula 1 clients taught us about the way they train in a simulator and I bet no one in Drifting is doing it yet! These are stroboscopic glasses and they operate as a type of sensory deprivation by flickering on and off. During training your vision is impaired, forcing your brain to lock onto the critical cues like car placement on track and attitude of the lead car, then when you take them off and jump back into normal vision… Everything feels slower.

This tip separates the best drivers from everyone else. The best drivers in the world use the footbrake as a tool while they drift. Here’s how it works: You use the left foot brake while you’re already drifting and on throttle. While staying in the throttle, bring your left foot over to the footbrake and apply only as much pressure as necessary, usually very light. With this technique, you can slow the car down, stay in the powerband and keep consistent load on the chassis. Using the handbrake c
