The basic technique
Build enough speed to carry momentum into the turn. As you enter it, tap the handbrake, Space on keyboard, while steering toward the corner. Get back on the gas as soon as the car starts to slide, and it will carry through the turn sideways instead of understeering wide.
Why your car matters
A rear wheel drive car holds a drift far more predictably than an all wheel drive one, since the rear wheels have more freedom to slide out while the fronts keep steering. If a car you love won't drift no matter what you try, that's usually the drivetrain talking, not your technique.
Practice somewhere with room
Learn the timing on an open stretch of highway or an empty lot before trying it in a race. Drifting is about the handbrake and throttle timing more than raw speed, and it's much easier to feel that timing with space to correct a mistake.
