The Geography

*** This Post Is For School Purposes ***

So how does drifting relate to geography and what is geographical about it? 


Car drifting has it's origins in Japan, and to this day the number of drift racers coming from Japan outweighs other countries. There are, however, drift racers and racers adopting drifting techniques across the world, wherever auto racing exists.
Many events focused on drifting have been set up globally. There are major annual drift competitions in Japan, the United States, Malaysia, Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Canada. 
       Drifting also denies the laws of friction. A car, by right, should drive around a corner in full control with the tyres making lots of friction, but a drift racer purposely puts the car into a slide thus causing less friction between the track and the tyres. A drift car needs loads of power to overcome the force of friction.
       
        The automobile has had a huge impact on global mobility, settlement patterns, the global economy,the environment and social lives. Cars however are fast becoming an endangered species. More and more environmentalists are complaining that the car is dirty. It puts out to much Co2 emissions and uses to much precious fuel. This is a huge problem for the sport of drifting because once the combustion engine goes so will drifting, Electric cars are simply not good enough.
       Each year huge amounts of carbon dioxide are pumped into the atmosphere by the car. 300million tons in the US alone. Worldwide this is a massive problem as it is one of the main reasons why global warming is increasing.
      Whatsmore the emissions from a car are causing greater amounts of smog and damage to the environment. In built up areas the fumes from a car have nowhere to go but to hang like a black curtain over the city.
      Drifting then, is sure to die out in the coming 20 years. Their engines are being tuned to increasing amounts of power thus putting out more and more unwanted gas. The way the world is going, cars as a whole will become extinct in a few years. Companies are already producing electric and hybrid variations of their models just to obey what environmentalists are telling them.
     So, the motorsport lovers of this world will be left with nothing to watch and whole communities of people will break down and fall apart. Car clubs will become a celebration of the most eco friendly car not speed and power. Enthusieasts will have nothing to collect. And we'll all go back to riding bicycles.
