Drifting is an action sport where one performes a controlled slide around a road coarse; this can occur with one or as many vehicles desired. Drift competitons consist of two cars drifting together in "tandem" to see who performs better.
There are three aspects to judging; speed, angle (how sideways you are), and show factor (how well your overall performance looks and is taken in by the crowd). A big part of what makes drifting exciting to see is the tire smoke, for some reason seeing a good set of tires getting burned off catches anyone's attention lol.
It is a very exciting thing to see in person, I just had my parents come to a large event I was in and they loved it. My dad told me he could feel the excitment of the crowd when a driver was doing well. Drifting isn't judge on length or time, it is a sport of style and character...think of it as figure skating in a car
Judging from the lack of knowledge people have about my beloved sport, I think it may be a good idea to make my site about drifting. I love sharing the sport with people, and I have yet to find a person who dislikes it. I just need a good domain name and a SBI account!
Here is a video on drifting, this is the jist of it
