Drift Brake - So who has tried it?

[Frogdog1]

I remember when drifting was a method of getting through a turn by a skilled driver on a road course. Apparently, some people just like to smoke tires. Not my style.....

True story

The drift brake is too far away in a RHD car, so I haven't tried any tomfoolery with it.
I use to do handbrake turns on back country gravel roads which was fun. Feels a bit like "backing it in" on a bike with a touch of rear brake just before you turn in.

Four wheel drifts when the racers were on silly skinny tyres?

I’m going to lay down some rubber and play with the drift brake right before I put a new set of tires on.

Don’t practice between two cars! Just put cones in replacement of car backs and fronts! So you don't smash your nose or your ass of your car.

Good luck!

I will never use it..... that makes at least 3 of us.

I have never used it for parking or drifting.

If I ever do, I am afraid I will have to start wearing sideways baseball caps and sport jerseys....

Bruh, word!

Dat cap is phat!



I don't see the need for using the brake when our cars have enough torque to break loose already. But then, I can't maintain a drift for more than a couple of seconds anyway (on a wet skidpad), so I'm not a good judge.

I accidentally used it yesterday and then felt this irresistible urge to go shopping and update my wardrobe's unfashionably out of date clothing style



Here I am this morning after getting ready for church.

Don't try the drift brake!!!!

That makes sense. I would not get pleasure from turning dollars into smoke, but if your tires are worn down and you are replacing them in a few days anyway, you aren't wasting good rubber.
