I would think drifting runs the odometer higher because your wheels are spinning like in a burnout while moving a comparatively short distance.
I trust your info based solely on your user name.
I would say electronics would prevent spinning wheels.
But yes, to start drifting, you yank the handbrake (for a short time) to get the car in position, then push on the gas pedal just right, to keep that angle throughout the turn.
I think you're both right for different part of the drifts, but IANAD
As a person that plays Mario Kart, makes sense to me.
