You guys are forgetting where drifting started. On that like, Japanese mountain, street racing. They used it to cut the corners of the mountain without slowing down to a near stop. They raced, didnt count points and didnt try to ONLY overtake by drifitng. Thats racing in every sense of the word. I think someone will eventually come up with a concept for drift racing. For instance, on turn x x and x you MUST drift (Pass a certain angle relavant to the apex or something to be considered a drift) No extra points are awarded for a better drift then the other. But the point of the RACE is to finish first.
If one doesnt drift a turn you MUST drift maybe time deductions could be in order or something along those lines. Anyway, my two cents
