Drifting

To some people, a car is nothing more than what gets you from A to B. To others, the challenge of coaxing exceptional performance from a vehicle designed for ordinary road use, can be raised to a form of art. The sport of drifting, which originated in Japan, involves a technique of controlled oversteering where the rear slip angle exceeds the front slip angle. If you are interested in learning more about drifting, this facebook group is worth a glance.

Although there isn't that much activity on the discussion board, more than 700 photos are uploaded to the group, and various wall posts feature links to videos. Some threads, such as 'Top 3 Mistakes Beginner Drifters Make' and 'Best Drifting Car of All time?' might be worth checking out anyway.

What is good about the group: It connects the enthusiasts of a relatively obscure sport and enables them to share experiences and advice.

Update (29 October 2023)
While I couldn't find a group called Drifting, there are other groups dedicated to drifting such as Drift is Life and All Things Drifting.
