Don’t forget a “normal” car is typically front wheel drive. I’m fairly certain drifting like this is nearly impossible with front wheel drive.

Correct in this case. And to a pro driver, this is not drifting. This is donuts. Mashing the gass to lose grip is the lowest tier of 'drifting'. Real drifting as racers do it uses mostly the momentum and changing inerta from braking at corner entry to get sideways, using the gas only to modulye traction. That can be done in any car, fwd included.
