drifting
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, creating a visually impressive display. Drifting is often associated with motorsport events and competitions, where skilled drivers showcase their abilities.
The practice of drifting originated in Japan and has gained popularity worldwide, especially in the D1 Grand Prix and Formula Drift series. Drifting requires precise control, as drivers must balance speed, steering, and throttle to maintain the slide without losing control of the vehicle.
