I've heard of the phrase 'get all your braking done before the corner' but this guy has now invented the phrase 'get all your
steering done before the corner'.
Good effort, even though I hate the whole idea of drifting as a competition

100% agreed. Real motorsports are judged on time or position accross the finish line, not style. This is high powered ballroom dancing.

I also agree. This can't be a very efficient way to go around corners...

I like the idea of a drift but could never support it as a sport. Drifting as a sport is a fashion show of motorsport imho
ETA - General lee is really

One more vote for 'what's the point'?.......rallying is vastly more deserving of respect IMHO.
