for all the noobs out their here is a list of each one

Faint Drift
This is performed by rocking the car towards the outside of a turn and then using the rebound of grip to throw the car into the normal cornering direction.


Clutch Kick
This is performed by depressing the clutch pedal on approach or during a mild drift to give a sudden jolt through the driveline to upset rear traction.


Shift Lock
This is performed by letting the revs drop on downshift into a corner and then releasing the clutch to put stress on the driveline to slow the rear tires inducing over steer.


Power Over
This performed when entering a corner and using full throttle to produce heavy oversteer (tail slide) through the turn.


Braking Drift
This is performed by trail braking into a corner, then loss of grip is obtained and then balance through steering and throttle motions.

When doing shift lock I go from third to second all the time. I think I will have to learn a new technique because the track at Primus does not look like it will allow enough speed to get into third gear. What would ya'll recommend for a short tight track like Primus?

CLUTCH KICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!or a combo of faient and clutch kick, shift lock isn't really a good technique to use. i would try and learn another technique. ofcoarse stock clutches don't fare to well under drifting conditions you are tring for the same efect with shift lock but clutch kick with some feint is a better way to get it done. just my opinion though.

^ does that work?

Funk: Pray that when your doing your technique you don't understeer and take out that pretty tree or the nice wooden fence that's right there near the track.

I might get a little tree bark on my car, but eh, all in good fun.
