How To Build A Drift Car

in #cars7 years ago


Drift, one of the sports car racing this is indeed not too popular in Indonesia, because the pamornya are still lose if compared to drag racing. This is due to build a drift car is not an easy thing, unlike drag racing that required only you upgrade some components of the machine. Even the daily car still can be used for the event. Yet for the event drifting, very much to be prepared in advance, turbo or supercharger plus intercooler, components of the legs, the chassis until the turn of the engine (engine swap), in addition. you have to kucurkan Fund also is very much. But this isn't a problem if you start it with full financing from sponsors, whether it's sponsorship of the holder of the well-known brands of tires or racing part.
How To Build A Drift Car
The example of the car Drift that was sponsored by many Brand
Without the break it at length, some of the ways that is done by the most novice drifter, among others:

Front-engined (Front Engined)

Car excess weight at the front then it will add more grip which will help control the drift. It will also prevent the car rotates fully rotating (spinning). With the reduced weight of the car on the back of the car means it will be easier to spin.

Rear wheel drive (Rear Wheel Drive)

For obvious reasons, a car with giant rear wheels "easier" controlled when cornering. Although it can be done by car drive the front and rear (AWD) in the right conditions, but for some reason, the car is AWD is less suitable for use in drift, except for a rally event.

Per The Back Stiff (Stiff Rear Springs)

Keep in mind, the main purpose of drifting is oversteer. A rigid rear suspension will slip angle increases, especially at the bottom on the back of the car when cornering, and this will make the car into oversteer control. With a rigid rear suspension plus anti-roll bar, then body roll would be minimised so that the geometry of the suspension can maintain the direction to keep the car drove.

Components of a hard ban (Hard Tyre Compounds)

Rear tire with component that hard once again allow it to slip in the back corner for exceeding the slip on the front corners. The front tires will maintain the grip for the control, while the rear tire will spin.

High pressure for the rear tire (High Rear Tyre Inflation Pressures)

To make the rear tire is easy to spin then the rear tire pressure should be high. It is aimed at reducing the grip on the rear tire. The higher pressure means the tire is easier to spin.

Some of the ways above would indeed be membuay the front of the car it is easy to be controlled while making the back of car induce oversteer more easily. Unfortunately, all of the above will reduce grip at the rear. Therefore, the car will be slow and responses will be bad when passing through any sharp turns. Quoted from the site Carthrottle, several steps are done by a professional drifter, among others:

Per gently on the backside (Soft Rear Springs)

The more the soft rear suspension mechanically will increase grip. The goal is to make the sticky tires as much as possible. Why? Because the excess with the grip, the car can do a drift at higher speeds. It is not entirely intuitive at first, but it felt pretty good even when the car is used for drift when the rainy season. There is no traction so the drivers have little control over the behavior of the car.

Tire width, soft and sticky (Wide, Soft, Sticky Tyres)

Just as all branches of motorsport, all desired driver is the grip. The sticky tires and wide is probably the biggest part of this equation. The grip is the key, the higher the grip so the driver's control in the corners sharp will become easier. But some of them bordered on Formula Drift, because this is often determined by the sponsor.

Rear tire pressure is very low (Super Low Rear Tyre Pressures)

With a low rear tire pressure in the neighborhood of 15 psi, then when the tire gets hot when rubbing against the tire skibatnya with the asphalt will be easier to spin (spinning).

Of course, there are "more" to make the car easier to control, aside from just the tires and suspension as previously mentioned above, include:

An Overhaul Of The Suspension (Suspension Tuning)

These points can be started by using the soft plus suspesnsi reducer and roll bars are wide. Both are customizable, some changes will be done depending on the condition. Bars and suspension will be proofread as many symptoms of body roll that is obtained. While the silencer will be correcting the old seberaja car body moves further.

The angle of the steering wheel (Steering Angle)

The angle of the tires very plays a major role in the dynamics of drifting. You really can control the speed of the car through a corner of the wheel and brakes. The more the car passed, the longer the car to slow down. So here you will need more steering angle to be able to compensate. Naturally every car balance will vary, but it has the ability of very large steering angle will allow for the occurrence of small correction when the car is driven. Some professional play bannya drifter team of 80-85 degrees on a corner of the wheel. Once again, in the corners it will make corrections when doing a tandem, but was swept up in the widening the angle of the steering wheel is the car will slow down significantly.

Aerodynamics?
Although some a team did use bits of aerodynamics to increase the speed of their vehicles, but there is also mempedulikannya, which is not due to two reasons. First, it is generally a car proceeded on a fairly low speed aerodynamic so that it is not required. Second, when the car drove at the angle of the bend, aerodynamics will be active in itself to take advantage of the air when approaching the bend, so that the benefits of the rear wing is not too large.
