Well at least car and driver calls drifting a real sport. The local autocrosser won't even call drifting a sport. For that matter, Tire Rack look down upon drifting too.

I would think any tire related company would LOVE drifting as a sport....I mean, it's great for business. they should start specials and stuff lol

one thing they did on the show was compare the handling of millens gto to a stocker they had (with identical tires). they thought the stocker would do better in the slalom and the other tests they did, but millens gto kicked the stockers butt. they attributed the better handling of millens car to the reduced ride height.

they even did some tandem drifting with the stocker

The had a short little thing about drifting on Real Tv a while back. It was more comical than anything else.

They were in Japan and it was street drifiting and an RX7 Turbo Two oversteered and hit the wall that the guy with the camera was standing on and then busted a 180 and took off in shame. Lost his bumper too. I recorded this a while back and have it as a pretty big MPEG.
