i don't drift, couldn't be bothered setting it up. sometimes it just happens.
example: with the escudo on red rock valley, after the s-bend there is a turn and then a another big turn with tire barriers. just stick to the inside and try turning in, you won't turn in and you'll end up smacking into the tire barrier. still holding the right directional button, you'll do a big drift into the tunnel quicker than you would slowing down and accelerating out of the corner.
