How do you get into drifting or getting the licenses for drifting? And how does sponsorship work for cars?

I have really been reading and researching things on drifting, it seams like the most enjoyable sport for me. How do I start doing it and is there a drifting license requirement? Which car should i use for drifting G35, Evo converted to rear, or a 350z?

Ahh, sponsorship. I raced for ten years and never figured that out. Assume you'll be footing most of the bills yourself for awhile--maybe forever.

Drifting has two main organizations:

Formula Drift http://formulad.com/

and

D1 Grand Prix http://www.d1gp.com/

Cruise their sites for licensing and local event information.
