Agreed, the winner is subjective. If you want to call it an "art" then fine. You can go be artists all you want. It can occasionally be entertaining to watch someone that does it well, or in an interesting vehicle or location or when someone is trying on the street and clips a telephone pole or curb, but it gets old pretty quick.

Yeah, but you're old. Car chases and races have involved drifting for a very long time. In the 60s, in F1, being fast meant you were drifting. Occasionally, getting a little loose is fun or exciting. I suspect it's the reason why WRC is so exciting. But in those instances, it's not the primary goal. Someone at some point decided "if a little is good, then more must be awesome."
