You need to be fit so that you can handle these forces without fatigue setting in halfway through an event. Next time you go to a drift event wait until it is about half over and take a walk through the pits. I guarantee you will see at least ¼ of the drivers sitting in or next to their cars taking a breather. Those are the guys that need to work out.
Also, the steering weighs up nicely on some surfaces so in some cars, you need good upper body strength. THen you have to put up with noise heat and smoke...
