	Drift Racing
		Drifting is a high-skill level motor-sport in which drivers control a car while it slides from side to side at high speed (approx.
		It is similar to Rally racing on ice barn, but is done on a tarmac (paved course) and judged on speed, angle of attack, execution and style rather than just who finishes the fastest.
		Because professional drifting events are judged on execution and style, it is mandatory that the judges are intimately familiar with the capabilities of the cars and the advanced driving techniques employed by the competitors.

	Drifting (motorsport) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Toyota Supra in drifting exhibition in Atlanta in 2005.
		Drifting has evolved into a competitive sport where drivers compete in rear-wheel drive cars to keep their cars sideways as long as possible.
		The clutches on drift cars tend to be very tough ceramic brass button or multiple-plate varieties, for durability, as well as to allow rapid "clutch kick" techniques to upset the balance of the car.

	Tokyo Xtreme Racer DRIFT for PlayStation 2 Review - PlayStation 2 Tokyo Xtreme Racer DRIFT Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A decidedly Japanese-centric style of street racing, drift racing is the art of letting your car drift damn near sideways around sharp turns and corners, often for lengthy periods of time.
		Especially in races against other cars, since they some how are immune to the slowdown you suffer when you hit a barrier or anything else for that matter, and as such, can simply blow right past you if you're anything but perfect in your drifting.
		The racing is steadfastly dedicated to one esoteric brand of racing that, by itself, just isn't a whole lot of fun, and the game simply doesn't present itself well enough to make up for the gameplay's more annoying elements.

		Hi drifting is an interesting motorsport it involves controling a car while it is going sideway whether it through a corner or in a straight line the cars set up for drifting have a completly different suspension setup compared to normal or grip racing as it is called.

	AskMen.com - Tokyo Xtreme Racer DRIFT review
		The main problem is that the cars are almost always in one of three states: stuck firmly to the road, braking with the foot pedal and sliding a tad, or breaking with the emergency brake and sliding a lot.
		Drifting is unfortunately absolutely necessary however, even in straight-up racing as the turning radius of every car in the game resembles that of a yacht.
		Nearly every car is a rival, and race types aren't predefined so you don't really know what you're getting into, so it's hard to say, "I want to open this track, so I need to beat this and that driver." You're basically just racing to race, and if something opens up, so be it.

		I am a 14 year old boy that is very interested in cars and especially drift racing.
		FYI, I wouldn't go around calling it "drift racing," since drifting and racing are two very different things.
		If that's not really a choice, then you'll have to make due with things that might not be truly drifting, but they can substitute until going to real drifting events becomes a more viable option.

	Hacked By Fenner -> Drift Racing
		Here's a nice drifting video for those of you who have no clue what it is. Its pretty much a type of driving where instead of trying to get around the track in the least amount of time as possible, you do it by sliding around and collecting points for style.
		I've always thought of drifting as an excuse for people who want to slide a car around but are too scared to drive fast enough to do it properly.
		Any way I like dirt track racing and 75% of the time the cars are sideways and still manage to keep the car under control and still go about 150mph on a 1/2 mile oval.

		Drift racing is a form of racing which pitches drivers and their machines against one another other in "battles".
		There is no "right or wrong" way to drift, as everyone has their own technique which is developed over time to suit a persons driving style and machine.
		Feint drift is a technique where the car is swayed to the outside of a corner prior to a sharp turn-in, to induce a similar weight shift to lift-off oversteer.

		Of course, the big difference here is that, while you were likely gripping the steering wheel with both hands as your heart went racing and you breathlessly tried to get your car back under control, a drift racer is cool as a cucumber as he effortlessly slings his car into every corner.
		Because the drift scene is still fledgling here in the States, the U.S. version of D1 Grand Prix will have a handy tutorial that will teach you some of the ins and outs of drift racing.
		The best drift races are those where both cars are riding more or less side by side for the entire length of a race, with both drivers jockeying for position at each successive corner.

	Review: 'Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' - The racing scenes rock, but the story still drifts - Zap2it
		Through Twinkie, Sean becomes involved in the underground world of drift racing, which has to be seen to properly be understood.
		Lin's decision to depict Tokyo as an urban jungle of neon and hi-tech gadgets isn't particularly original -- at least nobody sings karaoke -- but it fits with a genre in which the most important things are the suped up cars the ubiquitous sountrack fueled by thumping rap and bubble-gum Japanese pop.
		Along with the obligatory anthropological fascination with the girls who flock to the drifting scene -- all dressed like a peculiar mixture of schoolgirls, aliens and whores -- Lin doesn't shy from the demands of the franchise.
