The sport of drifting originated in Japan but has exploded in the US. It is considered to be the ultimate exhibition of vehicle performance and driver skill.
The art of drifting is to maintain a slide at a high rate of speed and to transition through a course while maintaining the slide, clipping set apexes along the way. Competition is done in tandem, often with the competitors sliding through the course mere inches away from each other at close to triple digit speeds.Â
Drifting condenses all the most thrilling aspects of motorsports-side by side door to door action, edge of control sliding, smoke and head to head competition into bite size races.Â
