drifting

I am doing my blog on drifting. Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motor sport involving the use of the technique of turning your car sideways. A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn for ex. a car is turning left but the wheels are pointed right or vice versa and the driver is controlling these factors. As a motor sport drifting is constantly gaining in popularity now with professional competitions across the globe. It is not possible to actually drift with a front wheel drive car except if using the E brake but rear wheel drive or RWD cars work better. Many people use ATVs to start to learn to drift.
