Drifting is a technique used through a turn
to change a vehicles attitude for a proper
exit. Practicing this technique is good for
a vehicle that has under or over-steer problems
in cornering (This is used in Rallying but
also useful in Road Racing.).
Drifting is a high–skill level motor–sport
in which drivers control a car while it slides
(or “drifts”) from side to side
at high speed (approx. 80 to 100kph) through
a fixed tarmac course.
It is judged on speed, angle of attack, execution
and style rather than just who finishes fastest.
Drift cars are typically compact to mid –
sized rear wheel drive cars. The goal is to
apply enough power to the rear wheels to break
the tires traction and initiate a slide while
accelerating the vehicle forward, “drift”.
Once a drift is initiated, it must be maintained
through the turn using nearly a full throttle,
a tap of braking and precise counter steering.
