Swaying Drift is also known as Choku-Dori.
Swaying Drift (Choku-Dori) Instructions:
- To perform a Swaying Drift the driver should take the car at a medium to high speed when entering a turn.
- The driver should turn the wheels of the car away form the turn in Swaying Drift.
- Holding in the release button of the hand brake (Parking brake) of the car, the driver should pull up the brake sharply and then quickly release (Parking brake should be held for about a second only). If the car used for Swaying Drift is a RWD car, apply the clutch while pulling the hand brake.
- Whenever the driver feels the rear end of the car kicking out, immediately counter steer the steering to face straight with the road. As long as the wheels keep moving, the car will pull in the direction of the front wheels and hence the driver can keep on the throttle.
- The car will now slide sideways in an angle away from the turn the driver wish to make.
- If the driver wants to turn the car back into the direction of the turn the driver wish to make, let off the throttle rapidly and completely. The car will snap back in the opposite direction by letting off the throttle quickly. Get on the throttle again to maintain and continue the drift once the car is at the driver’s desired angle.
- To lineup the car’s wheels with the road again, let the steering wheel to go off. If necessary, counter steer the car.
- If the driver feels the vehicle is losing speed while sliding sideways, heel-toe downshift into a low gear which the driver feel that will be enough to pull the car through the drift.
- After completing the drift, when the driver wish to straighten out the car, let off the throttle smoothly and straighten out the wheels so that the car will kick in line behind the front tires.
