That is mental, how much bhp are they putting out to be able to do that?

you can see a quick pull at the handbrake to get the car to slide.

Incredible!! How about F1 races like that?!?

tyre budget must be a buzz!
this is stylish racing - any chance of getting it as a side show of the BTCC?

Needs a full grid, say 20 cars!!! That would be worth 2 hours of my Sunday afternoon! (pitstops for rear tyres and nitro refill only)

You guys probably already know this, but it's a Jap craze called drifting. The lead car is a 4 door Skyline and the following car is a Sil80 (I think) which is an S13 200sx with a Silvia front end.

Apparantly the craze started as a quick way of getting down twisty mountain roads.

Have a look here for more info:

Probably because it 'encourages dangerous driving' or some other drivel like that.

Aha! That's why we get F1 on TV, then... Encourages safe driving and no 'dangerous' overtaking manoevers?
