Why does a car leave tyre marks when it drifts but not when it is driven normally?
In: Other
Drifting involves spinning the tires faster than the ground can hold onto them. When this happens on hard surfaces like pavement the tires that are softer than the road leave a small part of them behind which appears as a black mark. On softer ground like dirt, the ground that is softer than the tires is kicked up as the tires spin, leaving a trail behind them.
