Does anyone else feel this way? I like the regular racing in this game
just the Drifting seems frustrating and freaking annoying!

 Wish they would have replaced Drifting with point to point racing instead.

Once you learn to do it right it's the easiest way to get XP

There's no learning curve really, it's just at some point it will click and you'll get it.

Once you get in the rhythm, it's actually pretty enjoyable.

I don't know, like the Drifting in the Dirt and Grid games works.
in this game it just impossible to get a continues Drift going that last one entire lap.
