Description

Drifting is the newest, most exciting motorsport we have seen in the United States since the invention of the limited-slip differential—it may even be the most exhilarating contest of man and machine ever devised! From the winding mountain passes and desolate industrial roads of Japan, this unique sport of sliding a car sideways

through a series of corners has become a huge hit in America. Drift, or dorifto as they call it in Japan, extracts the most exciting aspect from various forms of auto racing — the four-wheel drift — and makes it the focus of an extremely intense and visually intoxicating new motorsport.

How to Drift: The Art of Oversteer is a comprehensive guide to both driving technique and car setup containing over 300 color photos and diagrams. Author Paul Morton explains various styles and methods for initiation and maintaining a drift using technical physical descriptions, detailed diagrams, and exciting live-action photos. He goes on to explain how and why you need to modify your car's suspension, chassis, driveline, and engine to enhance its ability to drift using step-by-step photo sequences. There's even a bonus chapter dedicated to swapping an SR2ODET into a Nissan 240SX.
