That is only to keep the woodpeckers away from the softest part of their bonces !
It has become something of a spectator sport over in Saudi. Try searching Youtube for "Saudi drifting".

It's an International sport which has rapidly gained in popularity in the last few years or so. To be fair, it takes great skill and done properly, a fair old fat wallet.

As*ready stated, it's an international attracting some good sponsors. Admittedly not in the same league as say BTCC but a properly organised event can be good entertainment.
Drifting is not my cup of tea either, too subjective and the results can be skewed because the winner is judged by a panel not by who crosses the line first, although it can be a bit of a laugh to watch for a while.
And if you think it is about driving like a cock you could not be more wrong. Holding a 4 wheel slide is not easy, and try to do it like a cock and you will either spin or hit the Armco.
or - if you're doing it in a LWB landie - broadside on into a HAS... (it has been snowing chief...
)Did it in an LDV once on my way to work with the shift, not deliberately mind it was icy, held it round the roundabout though, got a round of applause. **** me up good and proper though seeing cars coming onto the roundabout and no way to stop, foot flat on the floor lets get round it stylee. Stupid thing is it was warm outside and we weren't expecting ice, it was everywhere.
I got free tickets from a mate to see Drifting at Silverstone. Good spectator sport as the cars are a bit slower going sideways with plenty of smoke and dodgy near misses ........http://www.thebritishdriftchampionship.co.uk/round-5-2012-full-report/
