This is where most spin outs occur, and with drifters traveling enmass there's little room for mistakes. The above techniques works for all rear drive cars, only a varying of the revs is required dependent on model and setup. To drift a front wheel drive car is much harder, involving liberal use of the handbrake to influence rear wheel breakaway. Only a few hard-core drifters use front wheel drive cars, but mainly for the challenge as the experience isn't much fun. Drifters usually head to Japan's quiet mountains to find the perfect blend of opposing bends and incline.
Car parks are popular for practising and midnight gatherings.
There are also dedicated circuits where sponsored championships take place on a weekly basis. The drifters tend to stick to a proven range of cars. Drifting is an almost uniquely Japanese 'thing' and very little interest can be found in the event elsewhere in the world. The on going appeal of the sport in Japan is probably aided by the relaxed nature of the Japanese police towards the drifters. Your local boys in blue are far less likely to be so unconcerned at some sideways action, plus the state of our roads would rip the tyre to shreds by the apex of the first bend.
