Drifting is a motorsport that’s instantly recognizable, yet many people don’t know how it works. The fine balance, steering inputs, throttle control, and absurd g-forces that go into what appears to be just a simple slide. Formula Drift is the culmination of these complexities. It’s a place where the black art of sliding can be presented on national television in front of thousands of adoring fans. There’s a lot of skill, technology, money, and sponsorships at work here, but we want to start by just explaining the basics.

Shout out to Larry Chen for bringing us out to the event!

Because we know you'll ask, this was not a paid advertisement for Formula Drift, just something we wanted to make because we enjoyed the event.
