So when you're doing this - are you trying to also hit the apex's etc???? Just wondering if "precision" is important in this style of racing??

No apex's but clipping points. The orange cones are the clipping points and you want to be as close as possible (with the back end of the car) to them to score the win over the other guy.
My brother does this and just sitting in the passenger seat is one hell of a ride especially when you get another cars front wheel at your door sideways doing over 100kph!!

Yes quite right, larger cones in video are mostly clipping points. At qualification max points is 100 point, and 30 of them comes at driving line. Normally 3-4 clipping points, and to get full points, you have to drive less than 1-2 feet from all of them depengin on track, 3 feet and few point reduction, 4-6 feet depending on track and max reduction.

Man that looks like a blast, I also like the choice of a Camaro for drifting, it's a nice change of pace given that not many drift cars are American.
