And the multitudes of articles that mention drifting when one googles it:

Art of Gears: Some of the most worthy drivers from all over the globe meet in the US for a new competitive racing show, that consists mostly of drifting, burning tires and relentless revving.

It’s still not a drift show. If it was, they wouldn’t have brought in other cars for “comparison sake/ variety”. It’s a show meant to get the attention of anyone into any type of cars. The main challenges of the course are not even drift oriented. Every course had water challenges, the leveler thing, and challenges to get your car through tight spaces quickly. Even the stupid Lamborghini got through to nearly the end. It was about being a decent, fast consistent driver and that’s what it came down to. They knew the nature of challenges they were doing beforehand, if the guys with 1300 hp drag cars don’t know how to make their shit slide then they shouldn’t even compete knowing they had to do so.
