Doesn’t drifting lower the odometer compared to distance since you have to cover distance while your wheels stopped turning?

I would think drifting runs the odometer higher because your wheels are spinning like in a burnout while moving a comparatively short distance.

I trust your info based solely on your user name.

I would say electronics would prevent spinning wheels.
But yes, to start drifting, you yank the handbrake (for a short time) to get the car in position, then push on the gas pedal just right, to keep that angle throughout the turn.

I think you’re both right for different part of the drifts, but IANAD

As a person that plays Mario Kart, makes sense to me.
