Default Drifting

i would assume, now this is me speaking, that pulling the e-brake around a turn to initiate a drift, is kind of noobish. But for peeps just starting out, wouldn't it be a better idea than popping the clutch?

Got any pointers?

fwd don't drift. You can slide using e-brake. popping clutch don't do nothing since y ou can't transfer the weight of the vehicle like rwd cars can.

Oh boy here we go.

Just to let you know since you are new and all that a FWD car does not drift...period point blank thats it.

What you are talking about is referred to as "assdragging" although it looks like a drift and can be done to "look like" a drift...it is not a drift.

RWD and powering through the corners after initiating a slide through use of the throttle is a drift. AWD vehicles can also do this though it takes a bit more skill but FWD cars are not capable

To all the OGs on here please be kind on this matter.

To you arucA I bid you good luck and don't take it to heart but these guys are going to eat you up if you keep insisting you can drift an FWD vehicle.
