So myself and another board member were discussing the fact that a friend of ours was caught watching The Fast and the Furious --Tokyo Drift, and the issue of drifting came up. We attempted to understand the reasoning behind the fasination of sliding a car around a corner and tearing up the tires well before the normal life of the tire. It was proposed that it is actually the fastest way around the corner. I disagreed but really dont have any hard facts to back it up. I feel that if a car is set up to corner as well as possible, then it should be able to go into a turn and come out faster than a drifting ricer. So if there are any reformed ricers or just knowledgeable members out there that can explain this drifting thing I would appreciate it.
