- That's funny. Actually, in the newest Need for Speed Underground, drifting is one of the races that they have. It is around many different tracks and the goal is perform the best drift without hitting the wall. I know in real life you obviously don't want to hit the wall but does it help to slide through a turn at all. I certaintly wouldn't want to attempt anything like this on a mountain road though. Otherwise, they might be naming a canyon after me.
