Drift Question

[MingMing]

hey, i gotta question, in rwd cars, pressing the brake pedal makes the front brakes contract rite?
and does the ebrake do the same?, oh and does the ebrake also lower revs somehow?
i'm just confused cuz i've been watching a lotta drifting clips, and it seems that ppl step on the brake, which makes hte front wheel slower i assume, so that the rear wheels will spin too fast and start the oversteer, but i dunno how the ebrake is different/not different
thanks for any replies

The brake pedal applies braking force to all four wheels. The E-brake works only on the rear wheels. You can adjust the brake bias forwards/backwards.

aahh i get it, thanks! yay *Feels smarter* ... *feels girls* woohoo the second one was more fun, haha jp, thanks

hhmm wait how do those ppl control those drifts and keep them going for so long thou?
the crappy drifts i've seen amateurs do last like a second at most, when other ppl can drift for a full u-turn...
if the back swings out 180 degrees total, doesnt that mean there would have to be braking pressure applied only to the front wheels?

not exactly.  I mean, if you gas it a lot, you peel out more.  if you accelerate slowly, you get little or no peel out.  SO, if you're in a turn and you are drifting, you push the gas as much as desired and the rear-end should fly out from behind you.  and you over correct to keep this going.  now if you keep gassing constant, it should stay like this.  or if you're coming out of the drift, you should gas more, and vice versa.  right?

yeah i got this clip of a hachi-roku slidin sideway all and i mean ALLLLLLLLLL the way in the straightaway and into the corner and again and again...like he had NO TRACTION thru the WHOLE course....thats just SaaAWHEEAT!!!..
