Braking and rapidly accelerating your vehicle, usually in a ricer, to break grip and drift. People think that's cool. All it is is figure skating for cars. As worthless as burnouts, but not as entertaining
look at me! I'm drifting.
BAM
Slams into something very hard. Car is totaled, driver in critical condition.

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.
A idiot in a Honda Civic got his car to drift, he's dead now.

carsport originated in Japan. The car must be a rice rocket, and the driver spins it sideways in entering curves.
alorra hotties watch this kinda of sport in beautiful Cali.
the cars and the drivers that drive them are both called 'drifters', so take note, k?
The drift posers ( mismatched wheels ) are a plus for drifting .

Its an entertaining show aikn to Dukes of Hazzard on crack..
"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.

ummm....who is Ricky Chu?

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.
I was going 4th on a stright then Heel-toed into 2nd and drifted in and out of this tight hairpin.

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.
