Wink How drifting began all those years ago...

http://www1.videogaga.lt/video?id=ndwfwrnvpxhsyalnzm

This is one of the original and most primative types of drifting. From these early days they realised the more horse power you had the better it was going to be. See how the driver reigns in the power and starts the drift. This also demonstrates that you do not need a complex or high power car to enjoy drifting

You will notice that this practice drift session was in a controlled environment on a special low grip surface.

Interesting foreign YouTube, but where is the 'drifting' video? I just get taken to the home page.

I think that it is plain and simple, when you got a horse and only
a stable, you would drift. But even if you got a lame horse and
some area like a race course, you would race.
