Drifting is not a race at all but rather a subjective sport where drivers compete against each other but are judged on the basis of style and execution--think of it as the 'figure skating' of motorsports, a controlled ballet of lightweight vehicles sliding around a turn to make the most stylized and complex drift possible. As it is not a race, drivers are not timed but are judged using a point system based on form, and the high scorer of each heat advances to the next round. To create his (or her) own style, each driver customizes their vehicle with aftermarket parts that shape their personal style and performance. Only certain models are chosen for competitive drifting; though almost any car can be caused to drift momentarily due to a loss of control, the necessity of being able to control the drift requires that only rear-wheel drive and some all wheel drive vehicles be used. Typically, drift drivers use inexpensive and lightweight Japanese vehicles such as the Nissan 240SX and its Japanese counterpart, the Silvia, but American cars have been used in competition recently as well.

Get the Drifting mug.Tokyo drifting influenced racing, in which highly intoxicated drivers race cars on icy and snowy roads and force the cars into a oversteer. The driver's must consume a cup of hot brandy, one joint of marjuana and 50 mg of Seroquel, thirty minutes prior to racing. All cars must be rear wheel drive only.

Get the Rorke's Drift mug.When you are driving along a road and you start to think about other stuff, like what you're going to do when you get home or which cheesy pick-up line you're going to use at the party tonight, and you stop paying attention to the road.
Drift driving may result in drifting onto the wrong side of the road while you're drifting off into your thoughts.

Guy #1: Don't think too hard, dude. You might start to drift drive!
Guy #2: Oops, wouldn't want that...
