Backwards entry has a lot to do with camber angle in the front. I'm not sure exactly if more or less is better, since the more static camber you have in a 240, the flatter the outside wheel is during a drift, but I'm not sure if that reverses somehow when you're talking over 90 degrees, but it basically involves being able to make it so the front has less grip than the rear while drifting, so in a situation of an backwards entry, the rear of the car slows down more than the front, while the front keeps sliding and eventually overtakes the rear of the car again.

Throttle control obviously makes a huge difference because you can effectively control the amount of grip the rear has by controlling the amount of wheelspin, but the front having a low amount of grip is a important factor.

Still, I wish people would try to drift faster rather than have more angle. I think it's cooler.
Jared Houston got shot some footage out at the private Driftwater event on Sunday and compiled this video. Huge thanks to him for everything and for Broke Neck for letting us come out. Enjoy.



right set up and prob people can start doing it...

throw the weight over, ebrake, let the wheels to start catching "grip" then power over.
Cool video but I think it would fit into the random video thread. The black RX7 and purple coupe were both dope.
Whoops. Sorry. If a mod needs to move it then go ahead.
those varastoens painted luminious yellow?
That looks really good.

the car used to have gram light 57d in luminous yellow, but those are def Varr's in the video.

and that purple/gold vh45 coupe is BOSS
Yeah he had 6 gram lights and traded 4 of them for the varrs. + like 800 bucks or something.
