Drift
To cause a vehicle to exceed its tire’s limits of adhesion, exhibiting a lateral slip, resulting in an oversteered condition.
Taken from
www.DriftSession.com
Anyway, drifting is the art of making the rear tires lose traction in a bunch of ways, clutch kick, feint, power-over, etc. A real drift is not just the rear wheels sliding, but all 4 wheels. The car should be completely sideways.
For a good example of this search for videos of Drifter X or Keiichi Tsuchiya, aka. The Drift King. Alternatively, look for Justin Kikkikawa, he's the main/best drifter at Drift Session in Hawaii, drives an '85 Toyota Corolla GTS (AE86 Trueno).
On another note, donuts are NOT drifting, and they have absolutely NOTHING to do with drifting at all, I don't know who brought this up, but it is 100% incorrect and unrelated.
