Learn from the Judge: It is "NOT What You Think You DID!"

1:06 - Drift School USA - 0 Comments

Have you competed in drifting events? Are you planning to compete in drifting events soon?

"Yes, I can drift!" doesn't mean you can qualify the competitions.

AND,

Since drifting is a judged Motorsport, "I did great!" would not work unless judges agree.

Want to know WHAT you need for competition runs? But, if you are shy to ask during or after the competition for feedback?

Our Chief Instructor, Taka is one of the Formula D ProAM series Judges.

Take a private lesson / group lesson and get better!

New to Drifting?

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.
