A motorsport in which a car is sliding lateraly through a turn of a series of turns. During a drift (not a powerslide), the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction of the turn (example: Front wheels pointing left during a right hand turn). Drifting takes place under total control of the vehicle. Drifting is the slowest way around a corner because of the extra friction on the wheels slows the vehicle down (friction=slow).
Types of Techniques to induce a drift: Hand Brake Drift is the most common and a beginner technique. This is done by approaching a corner at the desired speed, downshifting while keeping the clutch in and pulling the hand brake quickly and stongly for a moment while turning into the corner. Let down the hand brake and release the clutch and counter steer. Just because this is a beginner techinique, doesn't mean that proffessionals can't use it.
Power-over: not going to go over this one because it don't like it.
Shift Lock: Down shifting very quick without heel-and-toeing which causes the wheels to lock suddenly and momentarily to induce the drift. Sort of like the Hand Brake.
Clutch Kicking: I learned on this as well as Hand Brake. This is done by "kicking" (hence the title) the clutch to send a jolt or shock throught the powertrain which causes the rear wheels to slip. I don't exactly know why.
Braking Drift: This is one of the weight shift techinques. It is done by shifting the weight to the front of the vehicle which is followed immediatly by the gas which makes the rear wheels to lose traction.
Feint Drift: Another weight shift techinique. This is done by turning very quickly away from the turn a little then swinging or flick it back into the corner to get the rear to lose traction. Hit the gas and continue with the drift.
Kansei Drifting: Don't know how to do this so i will take straight from wikipedia: "By letting off the accelerator while cornering at very high speeds, cars with relatively neutral handling will begin to slide, simply from the weight transfer resulting from engine braking. The drift is controlled afterwards by steering inputs from the driver and light pedal work, similar to the Braking drift."
There.
Thats about it. Have fun. I'm not going to go over the cars used because you can basically use any rear wheeled drive vehicle. All-Wheeled drive cars are able to drift but due to their pulling of their front wheels, will pull out of it. Same with Front-Wheeled cars.

"I drift not because it is a quicker way around a corner, but the most exciting way."

Get the phantom drift mug.The act of doing a virgin doggy style and using a funnel and reservoir system underneath you to catch the juicy drippings. These drippings, once collected in the reservoir, are then pumped through a rubber hose, using a hand pump, right into the ass of the guy doing the girl. All of these acts should be done simultaneously. It is a form of recycling and hiding evidence of cherry breakage.
"I did my virgin biotch doggy style our first time to pop her cherry, but I didn't want her daddy to find out, so I had to perform Cherry Drafting to hide the evidence."

Get the Cherry Drafting mug.The word used to describe messages that you save in your phone as a note to yourself on a drunken night out.
*Bob falls on his bum during night out*
*Billy makes note in his phone: 'Bob fell'*
*Billy wakes up next morning and reads message. Texts Bob: You tool you fell last night. I completed forgot about it but luckily it was drafted.

Get the Drafted mug.When you turn the steering wheel so hard, you make your tires go "skrrrrt".
You can totally freak someone out with this maneuver, if you drift hard enough.

Get the Tokyo Drift mug.something I would most likely be were the draft reinstated--not because I don't care about my country, but because I would make terrible soldier and would do much better on the home front.
I care about my country, and even though I play football and run track and am in shape, I would be terrible on the battlefield. Thus, I would dodge the draft unless it were a truly serious war (I.E. WWII-caliber).
