    Liking all the test marks on the ground

    Good skills, although I've seen similar stuff in WRC races, which isn't so big in America so whenever the yanks see anyone driving like that they go mental

    He drives for the Subaru Rally Team USa and also happens to own dc shoes

    Has done some mega jumps and other stunts, you tube search will prove entertaining. As will one for his team mate, Travis Pastrana

    I've done some work for them, absolute mentalists

    Thats quite impressive, but ive seen better.

    In the 1st few scenes he could have been closer to the bones and barriers by a good metre or so, and he caught be barrier when doing a simple power slide.

    Its not as high speed, but i think the the control on these is more impressive

    If anyone fancies doing 'similar' stuff to the subaru, try out an Autosolo (or an autotest if you fancy doing stuff closer to the above 2), they are not as high speed, or as open, but you get to learn the techniques and get to have a laugh. Most local motorclubs organise that sort of thing and membership and entry is next to nothing.

    Hes drifting purely with the torque of the big bhp engine and the 4x4 drivetrain.

    You are supposed to use the momentum of the car and ffs, use a rwd its harder !

    This is real drifting

    I love it how some people see some incredibly amazing drivers and or driving and instantly slate it just because theyve done a phatter slide y0 on gran tourismo, or their mates downloaded a vid off youtube of someone doing it bigger and faster.....


    FFS, can you do any of that cos i know a fcuking cant, and its harder to drift a 4x4 not a rwd you plank!

    Your wrong, RWD can actually spin out with to much accelerating.

    AWD the front wheels keep it steady and stuck to the road pulling it forwards, you will hardly ever spin out and with the amount of power he has all he propably has to do is approach the corner put his foot down and turn and there we go we have a super amazing drift guy

    Thats why drifting is such an art, its a balance between spinning out and staying on the edge!

    Whereas to get a 4x4 to drift is fcuking hard as while youre trying to get the ass end out the fronts are pulling away from you to stop it, other than on your xbox or ps2 how many rwd cars have you personally driven and how many 4x4s then?



    And you didnt answer my question, can you do any of that behind the wheel of a real car??
