DRIFT 101
Definition. In the simplest of terms, drifting consists of a high-speed slide carried through consecutive turns on a racetrack. Combining speed, smoke, style and adrenaline, the extreme sport of drifting demands one thing above all, exceptional piloting skill!
Spectacular. Combining speed, smoke, style and adrenaline, drifting is an extreme sport that requires an exceptional driver with immense talent and nerves of steel.
Origin. Approximately 15 years ago, a group of talented young drivers practiced drifting on the mountain roads of Japan, the birthplace of drifting. Over time, they took their talents to racetracks and organized serious drifting events all over Japan.
The sport quickly gained popularity outside of Asia with events popping up in Europe and Australia, while here in North America, the sport has finally caught on and is on the rise.
Success. The popularity of the sport is experiencing growth like no other sport in the world. The media have taken a greater interest, spectators are lining up to watch events worldwide and more organizations and drivers are being brought into the world of drifting on a daily basis.
Judging criteria. Drivers are judged on 3 basic elements: entry and exit speed of each turn, the angle at which the car negotiates the turn, and the driver’s techniques (adherence to the racing line, weight transfer, etc) The competition is comprised of double-car runs, or tandem runs, that eliminate one driver at a time until there is but one victorious driver remaining.
