BMW driver ahead goes crazy with drifting

Beware of hooning mode ahead.

Fishtailing at its finest!

You weren't kidding! Looked fun.

oh thats fun fun there

I would have been torn between happy being a spectator, and pissed for being blocked by an idiot drifting at a HPDE event. I do hate blockers at driving events that won't point you by or that drag race you when they do, so probably the latter.

He wasn't gettng black flagged, so maybe they let people do that at this particular event.

So much control/win in this clip

This guy does not have the word straight in his dictionary.

Ah the old "just warming the tires up" maneuver.

This looks like one of those videos out of the middle east (saudi arabi, yes?)

Look at the weather and the damp/wet track, for God's sake

Yeah drifting was allowed in this particular run group. I tried my hand at some drifting too. Here is the video if anyone is interested:

It was actually my first time outside a skidpad where I tried it a few times. My 135i was the most modern car in this group, and I did feel a little out of place with a car not known as a good drift car. Most everyone drove old Nissans (200/240sx) and for good reason - they drift very nicely!
