For reasons unknown, my main FB account that manages this page is restricted from creating advertisements. Due to this restriction, I can't change page managers to fix it or link my Instagram to further grow this page. If I delete my Facebook profile tight now, it will delete this page and all of my followers. 🙄

So I had to create a new FB profile, with a new email and a new photo page and it will run parallel with this page til I can hopefully get all of you transferred over.... basically starting with a clean slate if I want to run ads and build this page.

Please follow this link to my new photo page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61562300190817

Sorry for the inconvenience. Also big thanks to Facebook! 🙄🙄🙄

Drifting competitions commence with qualifying rounds, where solo runs ascertain bracket positions. Subsequently, the most skilled drivers progress to tandem battles. It is imperative to note that drifting on public roads is prohibited and may result in substantial fines or even incarceration. However, numerous race tracks provide a legal and safe environment for drivers to engage in drifting and competition.

In theory, any car can be used for drifting. However, vehicles with rear-wheel drive are particularly well-suited for this technique. Four-wheel drive vehicles can also be effective for drifting. Professional drift cars typically utilize a specialized differential that optimally distributes and balances power between the front and rear axles. Additionally, drivers intentionally disable driving aids such as ABS (anti-lock braking system) and TCS (traction control) to maintain complete control of their vehicles at all times.

Drifting is a controlled technique in which drivers intentionally oversteer their vehicles, causing the rear wheels to lose traction and the rear end to swing out. Drivers must maintain a controlled slide while simultaneously turning the front wheels in the opposite direction.

In Drifting competitions, drivers are evaluated based on their speed, angle, showmanship, and line through corners. Some argue that drifting is more akin to an action sport than a traditional race, with drivers earning positions based on their style and driving prowess.

The genesis of drifting can be traced back to Japan. Renowned motorcycle racer Kunimitsu Takahashi, the first Japanese Grand Prix victor, sustained an injury during the 1962 Isle of Man TT, prompting his transition to automobile racing in 1965. Utilizing his Nissan Skyline KPGC10, he would execute controlled slides through the apex of corners and accelerate powerfully on the straights, surpassing the cornering speeds of his competitors.

This technique eventually evolved into the modern sport of drifting. Takahashi is widely regarded as the "father of drifting" due to his significant contributions to the sport, despite never having formally competed in professional drifting events. Vehicles employed for drifting are frequently modified and referred to as "drift machines." A specific type of drift car, known as a "drift missile," features a distinct front and rear wheelbase, typically with a shortened rear end.

Drift racing originated in Japan during the 1970s, with Japanese racing driver Kunimitsu Takahashi, widely regarded as the "father of drifting." While the technique had been utilized in other motorsports since the 1950s, it gained significant popularity in Japan and subsequently in the West during the 1990s. The 1995 manga series Initial D played a pivotal role in further popularizing the sport. Over time, drifting has garnered global recognition and participation, captivating audiences with its aesthetic appeal, the driver's expertise, and the spectacle of smoking tires.

The Lamborghini Huracán LP 640-4 Performante is an exceptional vehicle that combines exhilarating performance with cutting-edge technology.

Additionally, its 43/57% front-to-rear weight distribution contributes to its exceptional handling and stability.
