    Not an enthusiast or an export but I have played a lot of Mario Kart.

    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 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.
