Does drifting damage your car

Answer 1

if you crash, it can also damage your car Yes it can if not done properly, especially the drive train, try this site for more information:

Shift Lock Drift

This is performed by letting the revs drop on downshift into a corner and then releasing the clutch to put stress on the driveline to slow the rear tires inducing over steer. This is like pulling the E-brake through a turn, but this should be performed on wet ground to minimize damage to the driveline. Similar drifting technique to Clutch Kicking.
