Now this is just MY OPINION...

Drifting is about as gay as you can get... they took something that was used by VERY talented people in different forms of racing and turned it into a slow paced spank-fest for kids who don't understand the goal of "RACING"...

Any racing that envolves "style points" is NOT racing IMO...

Drifting can REDUCE your times in certain situations and tracks... it's NOT meant to be used as a travelling smoke show for 16yr olds who wished their civic was RWD...

^yep, the real drifting is really amazing to watch, but nonovurbizniz is right about the stupid shits that have no idea what there are doing and try drifting in the civic or any FWD car for that matter.
