[QUOTE="rodneyk, post: 556179, member: 11667"] Below is my understand based on my experience..... Hmph in my view so called drifting with handbrakes are not drift they are called power slides if you do not let go of the hand brake the car would just come to a halt after it slides. As for drift on a FF car, it is possible but extremely dangerous. Why? because your drive is front wheel. When you drive the force of your car is pushing more from your rear and if you use your front to grab hold of the force and diverts its directional force so that you could maintain control, your rear would tend to lose control and sway from left to right. Comparing with a rear wheel drive, the force is controlled from the rear thus pushing the car in the right position and giving you sufficient control. However in rainy days a rear wheel drive could be rather dangerous if not controlled properly. Let's take a scenario of (a)you pulling a cart which is a front wheel drive and (b)you pushing a cart which is a rear wheel drive. a) when you pull the cart really fast then suddenly you want to corner and just turn what would happen to the cart? The directional force is stronger from your previous angle thus pushing the cart out of your new course right? Why? I shall leave it to the physician to do the calculations for you. b) compare the same scenario as above. consider how the cart would be when you turn at that kind of velocity. There is more control over it as the force from behind is directing it efficiently right? As how I understand when the back of the cart is trying to sway off course you are pushing it from behind which forces it to stay on course. In short your hands are directing the cart where it should go. The Arguments: Both of the scenario above is where you directing the carts so why is there so much difference? Its all about physics and directional and centripetal forces. I am of a legal major therefore I am in no position to criticise on that. Do correct me if I am wrong. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
