I myself am not a big drift fan. Being able to go fast and control your car without breaking the tires loose is more challenging and fun

drifting ( not just doughnuts or tire squeel) is quite challenging.
it's getting embarrasing because every time a car breaks a tire loose, ricers all over the world start screaming DRIFT! DRIFT! DRIFT!

trying to controll a car thats 80% out of control is not easy.
try going around a track without breaking traction for a respectable time. it'll probably take you a few attempts.
then try going around the same track with your car at full countersteer at every corner. it'll probably take you a full season.

im not a drift fanboy. just trying to dispell the myth that tire squeel = drift.

I can't see the videos you posted at work, but I am a big fan of all motor sports. Here in Okinawa drifting is still big since we don't have a true track like they have all over main land. Autocross/gymkhana are also what we spend alot of time doing. We have a spot for some touge too. I love to drift as well the rush is insane i'll have to upload a couple vids of us here though I think my friends put some up already if you search for okinawa drifting.
