First of all, you might want to start by doing a donut. To do this, try to accelerate the car very swiftly and when you are almost red lining in second gear start turning the steering wheel sharply and put your foot on the clutch. Then, pull the hand break up rapidly and then slam it back down but just after you have done that, let the clutch go and power on with the throttle. After that, you should have a control over your car and do the circular motion. After you successfully tried that, you are now set to try drifting around a corner.

To perform a drift, it is very similar to doing a donut but instead of still going, you have to turn the wheel the other way once you are just about around the corner and then put a lot of throttle on and you should be able to do your first driftdrift_ban

The first movie concentrated mainly on how an undercover cop tried to infiltrate the world of underground street racing, while in the second one, 2 Fast 2 Furious, it was still something about busting some syndicate and cops going undercover.

The latest however, gave a little twist on the situations as two of the characters who are supposed to be sworn rivals, had to co-exist to defeat a common enemy. Among all of the movies under the franchise, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is the only one that actually concentrated on driving per se. Don’t get me wrong on this though, because while all other movies had a lot of action-packed driving scenes, Tokyo Drift is the only one that really concentrated on how to get in to racing and we saw how the main character struggled to learn skills that he never had before. I guess that’s the main reason why Tokyo Drift would always have a different feel to it amongst all Fast and the Furious fans.
