Drifting

How to Drift
The basic driving techniques used in drifting are constant, though each car and driver will employ some subset of these techniques. They include:
Hand-brake or Emergency brake drift - The hand-brake is pulled to induce rear traction loss. This is generally the most common technique used to lock up the rear wheels in a FWD vehicle by inexperienced drivers, attempting to "drift". Also, this technique is used heavily in drift competitions to drift large corners.
Power oversteer or Powerslide - This drift is performed when entering a corner at full throttle to produce heavy oversteer through the turn. The excess power causes the drive wheels to lose traction in a RWD or AWD car. This is the most typical drifting technique for all-wheel drive cars.
Lift off, Lift throttle, or Taking In - By closing the accelerator while cornering at very high speeds, cars with relatively neutral handling will begin to slide, simply from the weight transfer resulting from engine braking. The drift is controlled afterwards by steering inputs from the driver and light pedal work, similar to the Braking drift.
Shift lock - Initiated by downshifting (usually from third to second or fourth to third, and using a very fast shift) instead of braking, without rev-matching, causing the drive wheels to lock momentarily. Helpful for very tight corners, allowing the driver to approach the corner at a slower speed and lower revs, while allowing quick acceleration when exiting the corner. This technique can be very damaging to the engine if mis-used as the ECU is unable to rev limit when the engine is oversped by the rear wheels. Premature downshifters are called "Rod Stretchers".
Braking Drift - This drift is performed by braking into a corner, so that the car can transfer weight to the front. This immediately followed by throttle in a RWD car causes the rear wheels to lose traction.
Clutch kick - This is done by "kicking" the clutch (pushing in, then out, usually more than one time in a drift for adjustment in a very fast manner) to send a shock through the powertrain, upsetting the car's balance. This causes the rear wheels to slip.
Inertia (Feint) drift - This is done by transferring the weight of car towards the outside of a turn by first turning away from the turn and then quickly turning back using the inertia of the rear of the car to swing into to the desired drifting line. Sometimes the hand-brake will be applied while transferring the weight of the car towards the outside to lock the rear wheels and help the rear swing outwards.This type of drifting causes the car to accelerate faster afterwards, because of momentum built up while drifting.
Dirt drop - This is done by dropping the rear tires off the road to maintain or gain drift angle. Only permissible when there is dirt or foliage near the edge of or to the side of the track.0 Commentaren 231 dagen

Ford Sierra Cosworth
The vehicle shell was based on the 4 door Sierra Sapphire shell with boot.
The vehicle was available from 1990 in both RHD (Right Hand Drive) for the UK market, and LHD (Left Hand Drive) for Europe.
The Engine
As per the Sierra Sapphire 2wd Cosworth with the following differences:
A Cosworth revised head and stronger cylinder block to prevent head gasket failure which affected the earlier Sierra 3 door Cosworth and Sierra Sapphire 2wd Cosworth.
The revised head featured an improved combustion chamber design and was sturdier around the exhaust valves, where head gasket failure was likely to occur.
An improved cast iron exhaust manifold was used to reduce vibration and the chance of stress induced cracks.
This 4WD Cosworth model's intercooler was enlarged by 25% to further aid cooling. Higher engine output power had to be achieved to overcome the restriction of the catalytic converter.
Although engine power output was improved over the 2wd model, any speed gain was lost due to front wheel transmission loses. Output power was claimed as 224 bhp at 6000 rpm.
The engine was converted to run on Unleaded Fuel and this Unleaded unit used a catalytic converter on the exhaust system. This restricted the exhaust system flow considerably. Fuel injection used Weber/Marelli equipment.
All Cosworth engines are fitted with hardened valve seat inserts and can therefore run continuously on unleaded fuel. With ordinary unleaded petrol it is necessary to retard the ignition by 4 Degrees. A power loss of approximately 10 bhp will be experienced after the ignition is retarded. Retarding the ignition may not be necessary if the engine is always run on Super unleaded fuel.
Red coloured engines indicate a 4 Star petrol unit and green an Unleaded Petrol only version.
Gearbox and Transmission
The main area of modification over the 2wd model was obviously due to powering the front wheels. Hence the transmission was a complete new design with drive rods to the front two wheels. A mechanical Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) was also employed on this new 4WD model.
Body Work and Interior
As per the Sierra Sapphire 2wd Cosworth with the following differences:
Different style bonnet vents.
New style alloy wheels with locking hub caps.
Driving lamps mounted within the front spoiler.
Available colours where:
White
Graphite Grey
Metallic Magenta
Smokestone Blue
Optional extras where:
Black leather interior
Air Conditioning
On board fuel computer
Electric tilt and slide sun roof.
The Sierra Sapphire 4WD was produced until 1993, when sadly the Sapphire was discontinued to make way for Fords new rep-mobile the Mondeo (yawn, yawn!). Although Ford's alliance with Cosworth continued in the form of the MK 5 Escort RS Cosworth.0 Commentaren 1060 dagen
