Track drifting (not wussy parking lot stuff) is way hard though and I wish I were better at it. Also provides that margin for error that is so lacking on touge. I'd rather understeer into some dirt runoff than hit the side of a mountain.
Why not drift touge if you are good enough? Maybe you aren't good enough, but there are plenty of people who are and who use it to progress as a driver in between track events. It's not like there are track events on every weekday. You gotta practice somehow and touge makes you so much more consistant because it forces you to perfect your skills. Take what you learn on the track and apply it to the touge and then take what you learn on the touge and apply it to the track. Track/Touge/Track compliment each other nicely.
