straight from wiki:
a driving technique and to a motor sport where the driver intentionally skids the rear tires through turns, preserving vehicle control and a high exit speed. A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa), and the driver is controlling these factors. As a motor sport, professional drifting competitions are held across the globe.

With a FWD car you are using pure momentum and not torqe thus meaning you are loosing most of your exiting speed if not all.

ok refering back to wiki:
Drifting has evolved into a competitive sport where drivers compete in rear wheel drive cars to earn points from judges based on various factors.

okay mabe it is posible to drift a FWD car but acording to what a drift is and how its judged (Drifting competitions are judged based on line, angle, speed, and show factor. Line involves taking the correct line, which is usually announced beforehand by judges. The show factor is based on multiple things, such as the amount of smoke)
problem is FWD cars dont make smoke from the rear tires like a RWD car would.

FWD cars do qualify for entrance into D1GP events, but are rarely used due to the drivetrains inability to allow the car to accelerate out of a drift. They are not eligible for Formula D events.

and Im sorry If you think i was annoyed with you my accent was stollen from me last night, and I missread your post.
but the thing with the trays is fun to try
