Description
What is drifting? Drifting would be described by most people as going through a corner with your car sideways while keeping the throttle floored. The sideways part is correct, but it takes a little more to explain what drifting really is all about. It’s not just flooring the throttle; it takes a delicate balance to “keep” the car sideways. Racers use the term oversteer to refer to going sideways. This basically means steering too much. Or rather, even without the driver’s steering input, the car steers more than you would like to. Usually if the car has a natural tendency to oversteer, when you steer the car either too hard or too fast into the corner the rear starts coming out and and in no time you'll lose the back tires from gripping to the surface. It might look easy, but it takes incredible car control to a drift.
