It can but only with high level of skill.
Have only seen it done in japan.
Same goes for FWD drifting.
The wrx that was doing the circuit a while back was converted to RWD i believe.

Anywhere I can see a decent FWD/AWD drifter?

Looks like Pinelands on Thursdays nights.
OT:
Would require a great amount of skill. Kudos to them.

The AWD drift looks to be the same technique they use in rally.
My mate done the WRX experience down at Pimpama, and they basically said "in AWD you don't countersteer, as you will slide through the corner and when you counter steer, your car will grip and shoot you off the way your counter steering (off the road/track), you just straighten your wheels up and in theory, let awd grip and exit you from the corner.
If you can tell in the vid, the evo hasn't got much angle at the exit, he goes into the corner and gets good angle, but exits the corner straight.

yer i did that and you only need a tiny bit of angle to get you out of the corner and pointing to the next
the crazyest thing was that u stomp hard on the brakes to start the slide
it was heaps of fun tho
recommend it to anyone

Its not drifting, its sliding.

Drifting (ドリフト走行, dorifuto sōkō?) refers to a driving technique and to a motor sport where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while 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 prior to the corner apex, 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.
"Loss of traction on the rear wheels" Loosing traction on all wheels would be "sliding"

If you can drift and get the front wheels to slide as well it just means you have bigger balls then everyone else ...
Would think to get an AWD to drift you'd need slightly higher entry speed and anemic sized tyres because of the additional mechanical grip.

why ask if it can be done, then say it can.. is this a question or a statement??
and how do u know it takes high level of skill? have you done both?
I doubt he'll be able to answer due to being banned and given the age of the thread...
