Drifting involves drivers intentionally oversteering a race car so the tires lose adhesion, but still maintain control of the car in a series of sideways maneuvers and sharp turns. It is also worth remembering that the vehicle oversteering or understeering will become increasingly evident as the shock absorbers gradually lose their original characteristics. |
