A controlled "powerslide" around a corner achived by breaking lifteing the back end while puting in the clutch and reving the engine while also "feinting" to the oposite direction of the turn. dumping the clutch and useing alot of steering wheel and gas fines will maintin this in a stable turn. Drifting: linking one drift to another with out crashing (dont try this in a pick up, you can roll and or cartwheel, ive done both)

The slowest possible way of taking a corner in auto racing. Many people think it is the fastest, but they are just retarded ricers. Drifting is a show and not a race.
Dude, that guy with the body kit and huge wing just drifted that corner, he must be a good road racer!!

Front-drive cars do drift; the rear wheels will break and swind around, but at that point you're at the mercy of the road. VW Beetles don't do it so well, not cause they don't have power, but all the weight's on the back.

"Beau pass the crack pipe I need a hit", said Luke
Beau passes the crack pipe to Luke, and Luke begins to take a hit.
While Luke is heating up the glass pipe, Roscoe pulls up behind and flips the lights. Beau immediately starts the Charger, punches it, and begins his drifting through Hazzard County cracked out of his mind. As the General Lee's entry speed is way to quick for the corners the back end steps out.

Complex Driving Technique used to take corners at fast speed. The driver must know how to used the clutch and gas pedal effectively and precisely while manipulating the brakes at the same time.

Its the complete opposite, its when you shift the weight from the rear to the front causing less traction to the rear, wich allows more wheel spin, and with proper turning and accel, you can drift.

apart from the fact that almost every previous defanition for the motorsport context thus far is extreamly false, i particularly like
Complex Driving Technique used to take corners at FAST (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH) speed. The driver must know how to used the clutch (NO CLUCTH!) and gas pedal effectively and precisely while manipulating the brakes (brake once, on entry then back to gas)at the same time.
if you want to know anything about vehicle dynamics get going faster for word by danny sulivan you rice ass hoes.
drifting is the act of maintaining a slide around a corner, in which the rear tires have no traction, and should be making as much smoke as physicly posible . if you are turning the wheel and going straight, your not drifting you daft fool, your understeeting. yes, that smoke coming off the front tires is directly proportional to how big of a retard you are.
go find vids of reese millin in his gto, that is drifting. no clucth no "faint" gayness, no ebrake just spring energy and a lot of entry speed.

holy fuck, look at the smoke pooring off the back of Samuel Hubinettes viper.
god damn that fool is the man.
