Can you drift with handbrake?
Usage in drifting
Whereas pulling the handbrake is the easiest way to start a drift, it is rarely used in circuit racing because it causes significant loss of speed at the exit of the corner. Racers use handbrake turning only to negotiate tight 180-degree bends that would otherwise require a three-point turn.
