"Hey, so what's the difference between drifting in the States and drifting in Japan?"

"Well, you see, here in the states people drift with horsepower. In Japan, they do it with balls."

And that’s why i wanna learn drifting from a Japanese drifter

shots fired. while we’re at it: tg:usa sucks :|

this haha

And that’s why AE86s make the best drifters XD

Poor Nomuken has just been castrated for having a 700+ bhp R34 Sky at one point.

We have some pretty good grassroots drifting here in the U.S.

I mean in the sense that they learn on two lane mountain roads and that we try to learn in safer environments, sure

Ok real answer though:
here in the states its more about smoke and entry speed, while touge in japan is more about control and poise. There no flashy plumes of huge tire smoke when they drift the touge in japan, its flashy but efficient. Its just a whole ‘nnother sport out there.

In Japan they drift with heel toe or dumping the clutch, in the US they drift by going D to D3

drifting isnt a sport, nor should it be. its a tecnique to stay fast over unpredictable terrain be that a rally stage or a mountain road.
