im glad everyone in this thread made it comfortable for beginners to learn at the track, and hopefully you guys can give us noobs some pointers. i'll be reading this thread from now on.

Yeah, track is the shitttttttt. I'm always down to help out and inform/instruct at the track. Nobody hates at the track.

Why is your car not running? No point building a car that just sits. It's dumb. You don't need much to drift. Get it running and go out!

If you are sliding towards a tight turn, when you close in on the apex you can keep a decent amount of speed, and where you would normally start drifting out wide on the exit, you can use your left foot to work the brake pedal, and keep your right foot on the gas. This will slow the front wheels and you can maneuver the rear end around with the gas while having more control of the cars position than if you just were working the throttle.

I'll have to try this next time I'm out.
