Drifting refers either to a driving technique, or to a sport based on the technique; this article deals primarily with the sport. When the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, and the front wheels are pointed in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right), and the driver is controlling this, the car is drifting.

Power oversteer or Powerslide - This drift is performed when entering a corner at full throttle to produce heavy oversteer through the turn. The excess power causes the drive wheels to lose traction in a RWD or AWD car. This is the most typical drifting technique for all-wheel drive cars.

Power oversteer or handbrake turn. See also drifting (motorsport).

The act of deliberately sending a car sideways through a series of corners is actually a popular form of motorsport that originated in Japan known as drifting.

Why don't I put is this way :

Powerslide is a type or one of the drifting techniques.

i second this.....

it seems that from the drift king vcd from japan, drifting can be classified in about 6 techniques and powerslide is one of it.

haihs.. its the same la..  its basically the same. Just that in drifting, you wanna make the powerslide goes/last longer hence, drift.
powerslide is one of the 6 basic technique? Its not. That is powerover. You go around the corner exit and while exiting the corner, you slam on the throttle. That is powerover.

watch drift bible by drift king. all 6 types of drift are in there.

where is Drifter?
