Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control from entry to exit of a corner. A car is drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa, also known as opposite lock or counter-steering).
The word is derived from the noun "The Drifters" who were a successful pop group in the 60's and 70's. One of their biggest hits was "Save the Last Dance for Me." Their lead singer was Ben E. King.

Anyway, drifting is a sport pioneered in Japan where cars race round a circuit and go through a corner sideways while keeping the throttle floored.
