I have to disagree with this quote. Drifting is not purely style. Drifting can be an advantage in a certain corner. But its not widely used in road racing because its ILLEGAL. I want you to talk to any road racers, if you do this IN PURPOSE during a ROAD RACE (ei, AUTOX). you will be disqualified or kicked out. (I got kicked out of the amateur AUTOX SOLO when i did this once
hey, I already lost so what, he he).
Anyways, That's why in Japan, they have to build a whole new league just for drifting (D1).
But With a proper combination of Tires/Spring Rate/ Camber settings/ Drifting will be more in your advantage than grip.
