The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The technique causes the rear slip angle to exceed the front slip angle usually to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn.
- Drifting is traditionally performed using four methods: clutch kicking, a power-oversteer, weight transfer, and employing a handbrake turn.
- This sense of drift is not to be confused with the four wheel drift, a classic cornering technique established in Grand Prix and sports car racing.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Drifting article was read about 99,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 62: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
