i also agree with the initiating too late. plus when they did that a lot of them turned in too hard and just under steered. bryce was having that problem. some of it was do to low tire pressure, but i told him to slow himself down, dont rush things, and use the track. there was an immediate improvement from his "understeering worse than a crx" problem.

also when its a different session and youre watching, learn from the good and iffy drivers. i saw that the people that were under steering a lot and couldnt initiate a drift when they wanted were always taking the inside line and pushing into the turn too hard and all the people that were tearing it up were using the whole track and starting the drift at the very outside of the track on the entrance.

best way to learn how to drift is put egos and thick headedness to the side and learn from the not so good to the good drivers. see why they coulnt initiate a drift, why the went off track, and why the spun out, see how they started the drift, where they stayed off the throttle, look for their transition points, etc... you can learn a lot by just watching too. i know i did.
