I've been on drift days where guys move from a lubricated skid pad thinking they are drift gods, to regular tarmac where they look like complete novices.

I will question you on that driving in snow does not translate to the skills needed on pavement,but you are correct in that sliding on bare tarmac requires much improved skills to do a drift properly.If done properly it is one of the most fun things you can do on 4 wheels but at the expense of a lot of rubber!
