Watch a Supra drift up a hill - Toyota Yaris Forums

I get racing...whether track motorcycles, F1, supermotard, rally, ice rally, autocross and precision TT.
Myself, I race 125cc 2-stroke motorcycles on track and consider myself excellent,
and continually studying technique and control...and in my case different reeds, jets, pistons,
tires, clutches, suspension setups...all that...

But I simply do not get drifting. there is a lot of money in and around drifting
but for the life of me it seems pointless. I only admire those who chose to
find the -fastest- way around a track, not the slower 'stylistic' method of drift.

I don't intend to slam it, but what the hell am I missing ? It seems like pointless
noise and smoke. Is the idea to see how fast you can go while also having the
arse end out in comical fashion ? It definitely isn't a fast way around a track...much
slower than maintaining grip...I just do not get it.
