              Start by deciding what you consider to be drifting in real life. Then try to translate those conditions into your code.
$$anonymous$$y guess is the rule you are looking for has to do with the forward velocity in relation to the sideways velocity of rear wheels.

You can detect the perpendicular velocity of the car's wheels, which means that the car is drifting
Use rigidbody.velocity in local space. I think it might help you http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/193398/velocity-relative-to-local.html
