The Art of Car Drifting

Drifting is a driving technique that involves intentional oversteering and loss of traction while maintaining control and maneuvering the car through corners and turns. It entails creating a rear slip angle that exceeds the front slip angle, often resulting in the front wheels pointing in the opposite direction to the turn, a technique known as opposite lock or counter-steering. Drifting is traditionally executed through clutch kicking, deliberate oversteering, and counter steering. It is important to note that drifting differs from the four-wheel drift, a cornering technique used in Grand Prix and sports car racing.
