Drafting

By Jason Rybka, About.com

Definition: Following another car closely to gain speed using their trailing wind, this is mainly a term used in racing games.
Common Misspellings: Drifting - which is a completely different game mechanic.
Examples:
In Project Gotham Racing, you can gain points as well as speed by drafting the car in front of you. This will allow you to get the extra speed required to pass the leading vehicle, quite possible even if the other vehicle has a higher top speed.
