Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally or unintentionally over-steers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control from entry to exit of a corner.
While drifting, sometimes front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa).
