Kraftdrift

Kraftdrift is a term that generally refers to a style of car control that emphasizes controlled oversteer, often performed at lower speeds than traditional drifting. The term is believed to have originated in Japan and is characterized by a more deliberate and precise approach to inducing and maintaining a slide. Unlike the high-speed, aggressive maneuvers seen in competitive drifting, kraftdrift often focuses on smooth transitions and precise steering inputs. It can be a recreational activity or a training method for developing car control skills. The techniques involved often include throttle control, clutch manipulation, and precise steering to initiate and manage the slide. The goal is typically to maintain a controlled angle of slip for a sustained period, showcasing the driver's ability to handle the vehicle in a dynamic state. Some enthusiasts view kraftdrift as a more accessible form of drifting, requiring less specialized equipment and lower speeds, making it potentially suitable for various types of vehicles and environments. The emphasis is on finesse and understanding the car's dynamics rather than raw power and speed.
