Known for his tail happy test driving, learn the tricks from the man himself.

If you don't know by now, Chris Harris is one hell of a racing driver. He's taken part in several races over his career, from racing classic Porsches at Goodwood Revival to Mclarens at Spa 24 Hours. He may not be your preferred presenter for Top Gear, but there's no denying that he was born to sit in the driver's set.

It could be argued that he made his name on video while working for /DRIVE, where he took press cars and fought them into shape with his aggressively sideways driving style.

He drifted cars so much in fact, that it almost became a bit of a signature, with Neil Carey, his cameraman, emphasising each drift with a beautiful slow-mo shot of the vehicle as Chris pushes it to its limits and it loses rear end traction.

You can see what I mean here, with the signature shot being used only ten seconds into the film. Enjoy.

Drifting is one of those things that nearly every driver wants to be good at. Not only is it fun and exciting, but it looks cool. And with drifting suddenly becoming such a large part of the motoring industry these days, I thought I'd dig out a film by Chris Harris from 2014.

In this film, he teaches you how to drift. If you're thinking about trying this technique, then this video is a must see.

He splits the technique into three stages:

Initialisation, maintenance, and exit.

Take a look and enjoy the lesson, as well as the gorgeous driving shots of the BMW M235i he's driving.
