Drifting is the controlled powerslide of your car.

don't count. sorry

Not my style. Useless on the track. Dangerous as hell on the road.

...just showing off and wasting rubber.
it is other racers' style. depends on what kind of race it is. shouldn't be done on the road (unless in some extreme circumstance, such as avoiding crashing)

just showing off is the point and wasting rubber is just part of it - that's almost like going to a race track & complaining about having to burn so much gas
