The Art of Drifting

by J.Evins

November 28th, 2008

What is Drifting? Its a driving technique that involves entering turns at high angles of attack and high speed by intentionally "skidding" the rear tires during the maneuver. The cars are tortured around the track, pushing their limits as they enter each corner faster, sooner, and more aggressively. What it all boils down to is maintaining complete control of your vehicle while appearing to have no control over the vehicle. There is one thing that separates drifting from other forms of high performance driving: Grace. While numbers, lap times, and finishing placement matter in all other forms of competition, in drifting what matters is finesse, showmanship, and consistency.
