competitive drifting was created by what is now Super GT drivers getting bored at testing sessions and finishing off the tires in teh afternoon.

this evolved into i can slide adn smoke the tires further than you in corner 8, and connect 9-13 with that slide , to the formatino of d1grandprix, to modern drifting in america.

the guy in the camaro pictured above has DRIVEN in the INDY RACING LEAGUE. seriously dude, get a clue or shut the **** up. thanks.

id much rather be competitive in crappy equipment in drifting than buy a trophy in spec miata or something. drifting is all about driver, less dependant on car, that is part of why a lot of epopel are getting into it. most good drivers cant buy their way to a pro level ride. drifting you can work your way to it.
