Learn to drift from the pros: In Part 3 of the series How to Drift we’re raising the bar. Instructor Stefan Landmann is taking us on a drift track in the BMW M2 Competition. Here, it’s all about precision and a feel for the vehicle. Whether it’s a semicircle, circle or between the cones in the slalom section, what we‘ve learned so far in the first two parts of How to Drift comes to a climax on the drift course.
As usual, Stefan explains each step from starting the drift, holding it and then leaving it. This time, we’ve added moving from drift to drift. You can see what to watch out for and how it all works in the new How to Drift Combinations video.
Only drive on cordoned-off areas, not on public roads.

Racing driver, winner of the 24-hour Nürburgring race, instructor: Stefan Landmann seldom strays from the racing line. As a class winner in 2011 in the 24-hour Nürburgring race on the notorious Nordschleife, the thoroughbred race car driver conquered one of the most demanding racetracks in the world in a BMW M3 GT4. As a certified BMW instructor, the 30-year old Austrian is the right man in the right place when it comes to translating the fascination of racing to the road. “It’s a great pleasure for me to work with people who are as car-mad as I am,” says Landmann. “I’m happy to pass on my motorsport experience.”
