Just add some RATM to make it extreme!

Forget that, this is doing it right:

P.S. Turn up the volume.

so is the purpose to go half speed up that hill by overrevving the engine, laying down as much rubber on the road, crossing the center line as many times as possible while showing how much understeer and oversteer that car has? if so then he won!

I like how they sped up the footage. that video needs a "Tapout" or "Ed hardy" shirt then its a home run!

Have you ever seen a drifting competition? They aren't doing time attacks. The cars are set up so they break traction as much as they can in order to stay sideways as much as possible. It's not about going fast as much as it's just about controlling a car that is on the verge of no control. I'm sure it's hard as hell. I know that when I used to autocross and my car got pitched a bit sideways I'd panic pretty quick and straighten it up real quick. I can't imagine how hard it is to keep it sideways like that. Lots of skillz.

Man, I could almost smell the rubber burning that guy is awesome.

Have to agree with this.
Video seemed pretty lame.

Yes I have seen them... my opinion (not that it is worth anything to any of you) but... drifting < lame.

I have spent a bunch of time on tracks (mostly karting) but a little doing vscca and autocross as well and don't think much of drifting.
