Drifting must also be motorsport.
It's based around cars

Drifting is like rhythmic gymnastics. Looks pretty, ultimately pointless and it is judged subjectively. You are in a car on a racetrack, why not try to go as fast as you and the car are capable of going? Sideways equals slow. It’s as pointless as having a final “battle” in an Autosalon display. Judge it by lap times or who comes first and you get sprints, supersprints and races.

Drag racing I’ve been down the strip a few times in my road cars and it’s weird compared to circuit stuff, still a sport. At the top level certainly it’s a sport.

Circuit racing – tell me a stock affordable production car that can make it through turn 1 at PI “flat”, I can’t on RE55s and I am only pulling around 210ish there. Certainly circuit racing equals the most fun for me. At Winton my Honda is quicker than a twin turbo V12 Mercedes.
