That's just a video of my wife trying to parallel park!
If it can't kill you, it's not a sport.

To each his own. But it definitely benefits the tire companys.

I think its all really just semantics at this point! Is it a "sport"? Who cares! Is it fun to watch? For me? Not really. Kind of boring although the drivers are VERY talented so if you watch it with that in mind then I can see how the entertainment value comes into play. Would it be fun to do? ABSOLUTELY! So, in my book, the argument to whether it is a sport or not is moot! Is it fun? That is what is important!

Like it or not they get paid to do it, and sponsors through alot of $ at it.
So is it a sport yes is it something I'd go out of my way to see NO. :D

While I don't consider it a "sport" per say, I enjoy watching it. Im really glad Tokyo Drift didn't put a huge black cloud over the scene, which I was expecting.

it depends on a definition... but if it requires talent, and a winner can be declared id say its a sport.. figureskating is also considered a sport, its even in the olympics.. and unlike drifting it cant kill you, its atleast very unlikely to do so..

I think drifting is as sport as anything "sport on cars" . Actually i dont see any sport on "motorsport" if you ask me.

Check out this Drifting.

Reminds me of a Rodeo Clown messing with a 3500 pound Bull.
