For spectators, drifting has a lot of noise, smoke, and cars going fast. Seems to work for NASCAR.
For drivers, it is entertaining to play with a car outside the grip circle. Granted, in pro drifting, the fronts are pretty well planted. But it's still a lot of fun. Ever play in a parking lot after a snowfall?
While there is a level of skill involved in drifting, it's hard to quantify which makes them judged events. Kind of figure-skating for cars. So it can get boring after a while if you're not there for the noise/smoke feature.
I would like to see limits on max steering angle, and tighter courses. Four wheel drifts are more impressive to me than just the two wheel power-over drifts that are seen in pro drifting.

I'd like to see pro drifting be more like a game of HORSE.
