DRIFT CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME

A drift control apparatus and method of controlling the same, include a sensor, a processor and a driving device. The sensor may obtain driving state information of a vehicle. The processor is configured to determine a drift state of the vehicle according to the driving state information, generate a control signal corresponding to detecting the drift state, determine a vertical load deviation between an internal wheel and an external wheel of the vehicle in the drift state, and determine a control amount in proportion to the vertical load deviation. The driving device may control driving forces of wheels based on the control amount in response to the control signal.
