The car's angle is calculated using a high accuracy yaw rate sensor, which is integrated over time to give angle. In competition use, a score out of ten is awarded to the competitor by measuring the peak lateral g-force and the peak angle during a maneuver. All of this information is saved to a data logger (in the form of an SD/MMC card).
With perfect Ackermann, at any angle of steering, the centre point of all of the circles traced by all wheels will lie at a common point. Modern cars do not use pure Ackermann steering, partly because it ignores important dynamic and compliant effects, but the principle is sound for low-speed maneuvers.
Browser-based games include the popular Drift Hunters, [39] NZ Performance Car's Drift Legends [40] (the first online game to feature real racetracks, and now ported to iPhone/iPod touch [41]) and Mercedes-AMG’s Wintersport Drift Competition [42] (the first manufacturer-backed drifting game). Drifting games for mobile devices are readily ...
The ratios between the slip angles of the front and rear axles (a function of the slip angles of the front and rear tires respectively) will determine the vehicle's behavior in a given turn. If the ratio of front to rear slip angles is greater than 1:1, the vehicle will tend to understeer, while a ratio of less than 1:1 will produce oversteer. [2]
A drift meter consists of a small telescope extended vertically through the bottom of the aircraft with the eyepiece inside the fuselage at the navigator's station. A reticle, typically consisting of spaced parallel lines, is rotated until objects on the ground are seen to be moving parallel to the vertical lines.

Camber is the angle which the vertical axis of the wheel makes with the vertical axis of the vehicle. This angle is very important for the cornering performance of the vehicles. Generally, a Camber around 0.5-2 degrees is given on the vehicles. Depending upon wheel orientation, Camber can be of three types. 1. Positive Camber
The bearing angle value will always be less than 90 degrees. [1] For example, if Point B is located exactly southeast of Point A, the bearing from Point A to Point B is "S 45° E". [ 3 ] For example, if the bearing between Point A and Point B is S 45° E, the azimuth between Point A and Point B is 135°.
