Drifting Techniques for Driving School Instructors & Grip Racers




We had a few students with driving instructor background without previous drifting experiences.


Gary C. took our course mainly for fun and to see if there were some techniques that we use for drifting could directly apply to his students from "out-of-control" to "under-control."


Did you know there are different type of spins?

Do you know how to avoid spins on track?

If you could control your car better, you could drive safer and faster.  If you have fear to be out of control, our specialized drifting program will help you to understand WHY it happens and HOW you can control better from slower speed.

We recommend minimum of 2-Day lesson to try out 2nd gear speed.  To be more consistent and try out faster speed, we recommend minimum of 3-Day lesson.


Contact us for more details with your goal.



Below was the testimony from Gary.

Yoshie,

I cannot tell you have much fun I had spending three days with Drift School USA at Willow Springs Raceway. Taka's instruction was flawless and enabled me to do things in a car I never dreamed possible. I don't know how long it will take to get the smile you and Taka put on my face. A thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable experience that I would recommend to anyone with a bucket list!

Best Regards, Gary Church

  • Have you ever heard of "Thumbs Up Driving"?
    ---
    It is highly recommended style how to hold the steering wheel for both drifting and grip racing purposes.
    ---
    When you learn how to counter-steer, it is safe to position your thumbs out from the steering wheel.
    ---
    Don't hold steering wheel like no tomorrow, and don't grab shift knob for no reason while just cursing.
    ---
    Relax your hands and happy driving!

  • As you know, "HABITS" are difficult to break!
    ---
    If you have been driving for a while and don't feel like improving much, you might have bad driving habits!
    ---
    It is very important to analyze the issues and to have right coaches to make the adjustments in right ways.
    ---
    It is better to find them sooner than too late, right?

  • Haste makes Waste. Don't rush!
    ---
    Take your time to set up the car & feel the car for each change you make.
    ---
    We know many people had changed the car set ups at once to save money and time.
    ---
    They realized cars didn't handle the way they expected, more like...they made them worse than before.
    ---
    They ended up spending more money and time to make it work right.
    ---
    So, change the set up 1 by 1.
