01Course description
The objective. The work. The standard.
Intro to Drift establishes the rear-wheel-drive foundation in a controlled, low-complexity environment. Students learn how weight transfer, throttle, steering, and rear-wheel speed interact as the rear tires move beyond their maximum lateral grip.
Exercises progress from recognizing the onset of oversteer to initiating, catching, balancing, and deliberately ending a slide. Smoke and angle are consequences—not measures of control. The standard is repeatable control without panic corrections or luck.
