For those who are not yet hip, drifting is taking motorsports by storm. Just like the UFC came out of nowhere to rival the sport of boxing, Formula DRIFT may soon start stepping on NASCAR's toes. As with the UFC, mixed martial arts add dimensions that are not found in boxing such as kicking, grappling and submissions. In the same way, drifting is much more dynamic than oval track racing with powerslides, extreme cornering and style showmanship. Drifting got its roots about 15 years ago in Japan where it is now firmly established and celebrated as the country's #1 motor sport. The D1 Grand Prix is its premier drifting league.
