Just a slight complaint with the interviewer. “It’s called drifting, a technique invented in Japan about 20 years ago.”
No, I hardly think so. I was racing sports cars back in 1960, and I well remember practicing 4-wheel drifts in the commercial parking lot in Huntsville, Alabama, where I was at Army Electronics School. We did it on Sundays, when the stores were closed and the lot was empty.
And of course the technique was used in turns when racing.
Still, good to know that Cindy McCain likes to do this.
Actually, there’s an entire form of motorsport called “drifting”, which did start in Japan in the 80s. The objective is to four-wheel-drift around the *entire* race course. Yes, that means going sideways down the straights, however long they may be. Hence the name.
