Overview
This will be my first ever guide to any game on steam. So, with that out of the way, lets start drifting shall we?-gif not representative of you in later years-
Getting the car.
All cars can drift, some might be hard to, like the “Vulcano JB9”.
But what works best for drifting are the vehicles that are ranked: good or above.
For example: Here’s my AE86- COUGH COUGH I mean Apex GT85, which is ranked at Legendary for it’s drift ability (Legendary is a specific rank made for the Apex and the best in the game).
If you do not have the Supercharged DLC Pack which you need to buy this car, I suggest using the Rally’s Cool 72 for its Fantastic drifting ability.
The tires and the stats.
Now it’s the logical option for drifting is that you want to use the Drift tires. And if you think that……
You’d be right. You CAN drift without it but it’ll become harder to do so. The stats also matter too. For this type of scenario, you want to keep your acceleration and top speed pretty high. Not maxed out, but near there. The handiling is important. Since you want your car to drift, you don’t want to have high amounts of grip. Plus, this will give you more points if you get a good angle.
Intiating the Drift/ Controlling it
Well the first thing you want to do is go on a map. That’s how you’re gonna drift in the first place. I prefer the 80s map on route A as it is more easier to go around.
Ok here’s the part you’ve been waiting for. HOW TO DRIFT. Ok, you’re racing down the track and your opponent is right behind you. A sharp corner is coming right towards you! You’re at full speed and braking is what you gotta do to get around. But if you brake, he’ll pass you. So what do you do? You drift.
When you are about to enter the turn, (aka 2 sec before) quickly swerve left (or right depending on where you’re going) then enter the turn through the right.
Good! You entered the turn! Now to control it. While drifting quickly tap the left and right keys while holding or tapping forward; not at the same time, to maintain that drift. The next corner is coming up. On the left this time. Now do the intiation opposite of what you did before.
If tapping the keys didn’t work, try just tapping forward and the key your car’s pointing at slowly or fastly.
Congrats. You drifted.
Look you did it.

I’m open to constructive criticism or helpful tips so I can further improve on how my guides are made in the future. Thanks for reading!
