Yes and no.

You can drift with AWD but it also relies on the intertia of the turn in to keep it sideways- The difference being you can actually cause an "extreme" angle unlike FF which can barely casue a slip angle by just turning in. And you dont need the hand brake to cause some big angles.

You need to stay heavy on the gas to keep the tires spinning- being awd the tires grip and regain traction VERY easily so if you let up on the gas theyll grip pretty easy again.

Another thing is you need an even higher angle to "drift" a corner compared to FR other wise youll drop the drift mid turn.

Keep in mind i am by no means an awd drift expert, so what i say comes from peopel who DO drift awd, and im trying to peice it together with a small understanding of car knowlege- so if someone knwos for sure im wrong on something i appologize in advance lol.

I hate to bring it up, but give it a try in GT3, its by no means fully accurate in physics of a car- but it CAN give you a slight understanding of what ive said.
