Well I'm not trying to be confrontational about it, I just want people to analyze and realize what they are actually doing behind the wheel better. It helps a great deal when you are able to analyze your actions as youre doing them.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when they first try to drifting is to fully correct the slide. It's pretty natural to do this, especially if you have some performance driving background but little sliding experience. New drivers get the car sideways, correct fully and end up driving right out of the slide. I know I did this at first and I had to un-learn my racing slide correction and make myself correct less in order to hold the slide. Less correction is needed to hold a drift smoothly. Finding that perfect degree of correction is the hard part. The more you correct, the less angle the slide will have, the less you correct, the more angle the slide will develop.
