What is "drafting"?

Drafting is a technique in racing where a cyclist or driver follows closely behind another to reduce air resistance and use less energy. The front racer blocks the wind, creating a smoother path for the one behind. This helps maintain speed with less effort and is commonly used in cycling, auto racing, and other high-speed sports. Racers often take turns leading to share the workload and maximize efficiency.
