News for ya people, try looking at other motor sports because they ALL take alot of skill and alot of car setup and drifting is no different. Its not just laying the backend out and screeching around a corner... its more about car control and keeping your car in a controlled state while at the same time being in an unstable state and doing it with style, its got more showmanship than drag racing or nascar or rally.
Its no where near as easy as it seems and just because you slide your backend around doesnt mean your drifting. Not that i'd know, i've never drifted.. lol
