afaik theres no rule on how far you have to slide, but the courses are usually designed in such a way that you wont be competitvie(time-wise) unless you drift through the turns. youd have to go really slow to nail some of the sections without letting the back end go around a little.
my buddy and i used to switch off driving to school. it was always way more fun when he was driving because he had an FD rx-7!! he rebuilt the turbos and did all this work to the car. it was a fkn beast! then he sold that car and got an evo, and that thing was a beast too, not much drifiting though with the AWD

Drifting is judged, style points count...
I don't get it myself, looks like a waste of rubber. This gymkhana stuff however is quite interesting. Most drift courses are figure 8's Gymkhana is more like a road race. I guess it's the difference between NASCAR and FIA.
