Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing the rear wheels to lose traction while maintaining control of the vehicle. This maneuver allows the car to slide sideways through a turn, often resulting in a visually impressive display. Drifting is commonly associated with motorsport events and is popular in car culture, particularly in regions like Japan. In competitive settings, such as Formula Drift or D1 Grand Prix, drivers are judged on their speed, angle, and style while drifting. The sport requires a high level of skill and precision, as well as modifications to the vehicle, such as enhanced suspension and tires, to optimize performance during these controlled slides.
