Drifting competitions are judged based on line, angle, speed, amount of smoke, and show factor. Line involves taking the correct line, which is usually announced beforehand by judges. The show factor is based on multiple things, such as the amount of smoke, how close the car is to the wall or designated clipping point, and the crowd's reaction.
Angle is the angle of a car in a drift, speed is the speed entering a turn, the speed through a turn, and the speed exiting the turn; faster is better. The course is usually small with linking corners making it easy for drifting. These corners are the ones judged.
There are a number of sessions before the final. there is qualifying, determining shich driver is against another. This is followed by top 16 then a top 8 battle and finally the top 4. The winner of this is crowned champion. A driver can be eliminated by the judges are if they spin, hit a wall, leave the designated course or hit the other driver in the tandem drift.
