I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Touge fits more into the traditional "Racing is covering the same distance in a faster time." definition. Doing drift demo runs isn't racing, when there's competition, it's racing.

well, based off of the definition of a race

"to engage in a contest of speed; run a race."

click me for race def.

and the definition of how speed/velocity is measured

Either Speed or Velocity = Distance ÷ Time.

velocity/speed explanation

given that both require an element of time, then by definition, no, drifiting is not racing. science rules.
