The trick here is to enter the corner and dip the clutch. Raise the engine revs to near the red line, and then release the clutch at the apex. The resulting shock load of torque sent through the driveline should break traction at the rear wheels, thus invoking oversteer. Entering a corner fast, then lifting off the accelerator at the apex can cause oversteer due to the resulting forward weight transfer which reduces grip at the rear tyres.
If you drive a particularly stubborn car, a quick dab on the brakes may help. A sudden sharp application and release mid corner will break traction at the rear wheels, but remember to keep your thumb on the release button! Get on the throttle as soon as the back steps out. Flicking the car the opposite direction to the corner, just before turn in will generate a rapid lateral weight transfer which can unsettle the car enough to flick the back out.
As soon as you turn in, get on the gas and prepare for the resulting oversteer. This is probably one of the more risky methods — the trick here is to put two wheels onto the inside edge of the track while cornering, with the resulting bump unsettling car enough to break traction at the rear.
Use with caution! Once the back starts to come round you need to act quickly. Keep the power on you might be surprised how much power is required to sustain the drift , quickly counter-steer in the desired direction of travel, and balance the throttle to alter the attitude of the car. If the car is rotating too far ease off the gas then reapply as necessary. If the back comes round too far, gently ease off the throttle and apply additional steering lock to correct the slide.
The trick is to ease off the power smoothly and turn the steering rapidly and decisively back to the straight ahead position. If you decide to get serious and have a car specially for drifting, you should consider a series of relatively simple modifications. Since most of the lineup has gone all-wheel drive, it's a welcome feature. While the Egeneration 3-Series has become a sort of collectable, the E36 sits in a nice middle ground of being cheap enough to take drifting, and simple enough so that it can be easily repaired or upgraded.
The Egeneration 3-Series has become cheap enough where drifters are starting to adopt the platform as well. It's a bit heavier, but just as balanced. The GT86 broke the record for longest continuous drift last year, spanning five hours and over consecutive miles. The record was broken by the new M5 , but nonetheless, that should tell you all you need to know about the BRZ twins' drifting capabilities. And now, used examples are getting cheap enough where they make sense to take to actual drift events.
The Miata makes for a fine drift car if it's set up correctly. Because it has a short wheelbase, it's more prone to snap into oversteer, making it harder to hold a slide. Plus, it doesn't have much power. But dial it in correctly, and you'll be sideways for days.

Honda S Wealthy teenagers killing innocent bystanders while behaving like hooligans tends to bring bad press, which prompted the government to crack down. But every once in awhile, things would still get out of hand. Three years ago, a Saudi hajwalah driver was sentenced to death after killing two people. That prompted a push toward competitions on tracks.
View on Instagram. Events are held every other Friday, and the action starts at sundown. Around 70 men, all in their teens and 20s, show off their skills and audacity in front of or so spectators. Each driver gets three minutes to do the craziest stunts, usually in an SUV. They tend to favor Nissan Patrols and Toyota Landcruisers, and swap the anemic engines for something more potent from, say, a Ferrari.
