Rally cars drift when the driver intentionally oversteers, causing the back end of the car to lose traction and slide sideways in relation to the front. The main goal of drifting is to maintain control and keep the car in a steady drift, a balance between grip and slides. To achieve this, the driver needs to adjust the car's speed, the angle of drift and the throttle. Keywords: Rally, Drift, Oversteer, Traction, Control, Speed, Angle, Throttle
