- Use the Handbrake. Accelerate (start out slow until you get the hang of it), then turn the steering wheel sharply to the side while pulling up the Handbrake (applying the clutch will give you a better spin). The car will spin if done correctly.
- Another method can be done using a manual, rear-wheel drive car. Slip the clutch as you turn hard to one side, and then let it in while accelerating. To come out, take your foot slowly off the accelerator, and counter-steer. Be careful not to overcorrect, or you can fishtail in the other direction. Done properly, this is an effective way to make a car drift.
- Be sure to pull the emergency brake just a second after you turn the wheel, otherwise you may just skid forward.
- Don't do this if there are cops around.
- Try it in the winter time in an icy(I MEAN TO SAY WET) parking lot. During other times of the year, dirt, grass, and snow are a little bit safer and easier than a parking lot or street. Make sure it's a very large space.
- If you have a rear-wheel drive car, this will work much better. If you drive a front wheel drive car, you will still be able to do it, it will just require more precise timing. If you have an all-wheel drive car, it will be pretty difficult. If your car has traction control, turn it off - traction control will "correct" the spin.
- Front-wheel drive cars can be spun easily by starting in reverse. Simply accelerate and turn the wheel sharply.
- Don't forget to engage the clutch while handbraking a rear drive car
- If you Pull the handbrake hard for extended lengths of time, the locking of the car's wheels can cause a flat spot on the tire.
