car control/fun is really all it's about. you can set goals in drifting just like in any other sport, maybe to run a better line, carry more speed, more angle, nail all your clipping points, etc... it's surely not everyone's cup-o-noodles but plenty of us enjoy it .

judging is based on opinion, indeed. but just like other judged sports there are criteria to the judging based on line/angle/speed, and like other judged sports if you screw up by spinning or losing your slide then you're certainly not going to score well.
