00:00Drifting is, to me it's an art. Drifting is to be in control of a car, but at the same
00:15time not be in control. You would ask, how is that? How is that? Because the car, when
00:20it's going sideways, it loses grip. But at the same time, as a driver, you steer the
00:25steering wheel to be able to control that car losing control. So yeah, and the most
00:30important thing in drifting is to have a rear-wheel drive car, a hydraulic handbrake, and a car
00:35especially for drifting on safe tracks, of course. First of all, the car. The car has
00:40to have a fire extinguisher, has to have a proper seat belt, they have to have their
00:44helmets on, their gloves on, and of course their race shoes on. These are the most important
00:48thing in car drift, and some of them are equipped with roll cages. In case the car rolled over,
00:54the car will still stay in one piece.
