What is the Principle of Drifting?

[Erick]

Drifting occurs when the rear wheels lose most (or all) of their grip, while the front wheels maintain their grip (losing at most a small portion, and ideally gaining additional grip). At this point, as long as there is a certain amount of lateral force on the front wheels, drifting will occur. Here is some relevant information: 1. Drifting: Drifting is a racing term that refers to a series of maneuvers where the direction the car is pointing differs significantly from its actual movement direction, causing the car to slide sideways through a turn. 2. Conditions for Drifting: Drifting occurs when static friction is converted into sliding friction. Precise control of factors such as the center of gravity, the relative angle and distance between sliding and static friction, and their magnitudes can make the drifting process controllable.
