The first video game about Drifting was released on November 1998.
This is mostly interesting when this can be done on purpose and is not limited to slick surfaces. Such as doing handbrake turn or a car sliding out of control from violent turns.
Although this is a common part of certain car sports, this can also be done with airplanes (via supermaneuverability) as well as spacecraft and watercraft (mainly with PWCs).
Drifting is a required component of Newtonian physics in space flight simulators.
