well, i can see where you are coming from but from my perspective its really not a big deal. i have been involved in motorsport from the age of 2 so its easy to me, maybe thats a better way to put it. fyi on cars with good steering feedback such as the CS its really pretty easy to control this sort of thing.

 

guys notice the the blue fire coming out of the exhaust at the very end when it does a donut! it's nuts.. btw amir, helo helo at the end means "nice, nice" in arabic

 

The CGT is sooo sexy!

It would have been better though if they used the real drifting sound instead of putting a music for background.

 

Its tricky but its not "OMG this guy has HUGE talent" tricky...

I went to drifting school and by the end of the day I was able to do the same thing that guy did in a 89 240SX that had a near bone stock motor with no power steering. Doing such a thing in a Ferrari with all that power would be considerably easier as long as you didn't put too much slip angle into it.

If you want to see real drifting skill watch Formula D when airs on ESPN towards the end of the year.

 

Fair enough. Can't say I've ever gone out drifting 'cept in the snow. I don't own a car you can drift so maybe that's why this is so "wow" for me. Still pretty cool though I think.

 

Except for, you know, the whole fact that the CS is mid-engine and is razor edge.

Your comparing the world's most forgiving drift car (240sx) to a hardcore racing machine. It is not the same deal.

 

The 240SX is NOT the world's most forgiving drift car...its the world's most POPULAR drift car because its cheap!

Early model 240's have HORRIBLE understeer thats why it takes so much modification to make it into a competitive drift car...not as much mods as other cars but still a ton of mods none the less.

Having the engine in the back isn't the best placement for a drift car but it really only becomes a hinderance when you're drifting at high speeds...which this guy wasn't and he wasn't mashing the throttle and using only countersteer to control himself.

Like I said ..as long as you aren't too liberal with the throttle or countersteering its not that difficult. I'm sure its tricky but it doesn't take a tremendous amount of skill.

If I had a Ferrari to prove my point I'd do it but I'm not quite there yet

If you want to see REAL drifting in a RWD rear engine car then check this out the JIC Porsche GT2...

This car was purpose built for drifting and made a podium finish in one of its first times out

 

Now a cgt in the middle of the damm public road thats crazy.

 

Yeah, I read up on that video and apparently it's the main street in Riyadh that is known for flaunting nice cars and this type of driving! Pretty cool though.

 

That car sounds incredible! Definately a Tubi or Capristo on that car.

 

Theres an actual drifting school? Any links please? Thank you.

That looks fun..
