Not how I would choose to use the beauty he is driving but and interesting video. The link is about 3/4 down the page.

Enjoy

We may laugh and scoff at drifters, however they have audiences, sponsors, and prize money!

and it takes great car control and a big set of juevos to load up the car and get it sideways with your foot in it over and over... gets your heart pumpin' for sure.
had a nice 914, had a baby and had to get backseats, so I got a bmw

This is a pretty cool car and can move along without drifting as pretty well also. My neighbor had this exact car at his house for a week while he manufactured the rear wing.

I agree, big huge, nerves of steel and skill to handle a car like that at that speed. Kudos to him for not funning the typicaal Nissian Skyline type car.

Oh I know they have! :D I was just interested to see that he is going Porsche rather than the "standard" drifter ride.
