What is Drifting?
Imagine entering a tight corner at a speed normally reserved for cruising only on freeways. As the vehicle loses its ability to adhere to the ground, you flick the sterring wheel, sliding the tail out. Smoothly applying throttle and countersteer, your vehicle tightly clips the apex of the corner in a controlled sliding motion, while maintaining speed throughout the corner for a fast exit to the next corner. While almost impossible to perform by most drivers, experienced ‘Drift’ experts can slide highly modified cars with high horsepower engines and aggressive aero packages around almost any corner in a controlled fashion. In Japan, this display of controlled tail sliding has originated as a dangerous street sport, gradually evolving in a competitive sport held only on special tracks. While “Drift” competitions are rare outside of Japan, it is rapidly growing in both exposure and popularity.
