Hi,
Does anyone know how to do the Saudi Drift, Normal drifting and The Arab Burnouts (the one they do in Landcruisers)? I know the Saudi Drift is illegal here but I would love to know how to do it. I would like to know how can you do a burnout and the Two wheeling as well. Thanks!!

Thanks guys for the advice, I am not thinking to do this in public streets. I am going to contact Losail Circut and ask if I can practice. I wanted to learn new things cuz Im importing a 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R Spec-V and a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 9 from Japan. Thanks everyone for the safety and fun advice :D

I tried it in my Pink Kia. It's great. You need slicks at the back and a Gutra covering your eyes... Piece of cake..

Just type in "How to Drift" in youtube....and you'll find a number of videos demonstrations of drifting...especially the Japanese. They are the real experts in drift.

practice away from built up areas so when you crash you only injure yourself you idiot.

how is a saudi drift different then a regular drift? Breaking traction is much easier around here is easy because of the sand (I think). Try different methods to load up weight on the front/side of the vehicle while turning, the turn, then combine them. EX. flick the car with a quick countersteer away from the turn, then hard into the turn to throw the momentum from one side to the other.

Or, tap the brakes while entering the turn.

When the back tires get light they will want to break free and the vehicle will try to pivot around the front end where the traction still exists. Giving the car gas at the proper time will start spinning the rear tires which will make it more difficult for them to regain their composure and accellerate the spin/pivot.

When/if the car starts to spin, you need to countersteer away from the spin to make sure you dont over rotate. letting off the gas will also accomplish this.

Start slow and in a parking lot to minimize risk and damage and wear your seatbelt.

My buddies used to do burnouts in their trucks by popping the clutch real quick to get the car to leap forward, then hammering the vehicle in gear when the truck was sort of jumping forward. Sometimes they stalled, but when they got good the rear wheels would light up. However I doubt this would work really well in a landcruiser because (they had freaking better) they are probably 4 wheel drive.

Hope this helps.
