drifting as a technique is as old as racing... everytime this question comes up i say go back to 1930s f1 racing on dirt tracks (not ovals...). tazio nuvolari etc etc. yes they four wheel drift with counter steering and throttle modulation etc etc... no different then any other vehicle with four wheels, gas and steering wheel.
drifting as a competitive sport on tarmac look to japan.
btw, this is a terrible subject for a paper as there aren't any real credible sources of information to cite.
