Default Funny description of drifting on the Moroso Motorsports Park site....

"For lack of a better comparison drifting is the figure skating of motorsports."

I have always thought this, but it is really funny to see it on the website of a track that hosts drift events. I hate how drifting is completely subjective in its judging. Racing should be judged my objective methods. I have heard that more advanced drift races are now switching to some sophisticated telemetry systems that report drift angle, average corners speeds, etc so that they can score drift events more objectively.
