This and other good advise!
1. Enter a turn at a speed too high for the vehicle to handle (if you do not drift, your vehicle should experience understeer at this speed).
2. Turn your wheels into the turn and stay on the throttle.
3. At this speed, your vehicle should start to experience understeer. When this happens or right before this happens, clutch in, but stay on the throttle.
4. By clutching in and staying on the throttle, your engine will now rev up to high rpms. As soon as this happens, dump the clutch, causing your rear wheels to break traction.
5. When you feel the vehicle’s rear end kicking out, immediately countersteer the wheels to face straight with the road. Your vehicle will pull in the direction of the front wheels, as long as the wheels are still moving. Keep on the throttle. If you press the brakes or let off the throttle because your vehicle is in an extremely oversteered condition, you will spin out or leave the road.
6. When you wish to straighten out your car, after completing the drift, let off the throttle smoothly and straighten out the wheels as your vehicle kicks in line behind the front tires.

And to be picky, I have an issue with the the above statement. Considering the vehicle will go round the corner quicker if you keep it in line and gripping. If you really do enter a corner too fast for the vehicle to handle, braking traction at either end aint gonna keep you out of the sandpit, let alone going through with a sideways stylee.
Got images of teenage ricers thinking they need to be doing warp ten as they enter the corner and ending up going straight on but you dont. When breaking traction, its always best to overwhelm the tyres by putting too much power through them or braking them momentarily. Then you manipulate the attitude of the car as required. Overstepping your grip limit using momentum doesnt give you any escape route. You usually have to just ride out whatever slide you signed up for when you wrenched the wheel over. Extra speed means extra momentum and you want momentum (meaning the cars desire to rotate around the front axle), where possible, to play as little part in your slide as you can get away with.
