Rear wheel drive cars drift far easier to drift. The rear wheels are pointing in a different direction than the powerless front wheels. This causes the rear end to slide out to the side, starting a drift.
Front wheel drives pull the front of the car in the direction they are pointing, thereby turning the car in that direction. The passive rear wheels simply follow around the turn. This makes slides very hard to start.

Almost all the cars you will see in a drift competition are rear wheel drive. It is possible to get a front wheel drive car to have its tail end whip around, but it's not easy to get one to start sliding, and harder still to control it when it happens. Sending power to the rear wheels makes it much easier to get the rear tires to spin on demand.
