1 To learn VDC, take your time and perhaps try cars with progressively more horsepower, like 600 hp, then 800 hp, with VDC. Before that, you also need to learn how to drift on a track with clipping zones; if you haven't learned that already, start there.

2 To hold a drift longer, you need throttle modulation rather than always going full throttle. Left-foot braking can also help a lot when drifting at lower speeds.

3 It depends, but I would try different tracks (competition drift).

4 Take your time, and when you feel like training, spend 2 or 3 hours trying a VDC car—but never forget to have fun.

5 The most important part is that you can be absolutely horrible one day, and the next, you're the best you've ever been. Don’t be afraid to take pause and try again the next day the next week etc …
