flagrent use of the scandanavian flick

Any one tried it with left foot braking. Managed it a couple of times but nothing that spectacular!

Impressive, amazing for a FWD, and sure is better than anyone here can ever dream of doing.

But still gay in its own special front wheel drive way

Cool driving, but kind of begs the question "WHY?"

And its definately NOT cause they cant afford a RWD car cause they could easily have bought one for what they spent building that anyway.

It almost certainly takes more skill than RWD as any numpty can boot it out a corner and try and look cool, but you cant in FWD. As Steve said though, gay

A bit of power-on oversteer is easy, holding drift properly in a RWD car isnt.

Im not convinced its actually any harder in a FWD car if setup like that and using the handbrake, its just more pointless

Could never hold the drift, or get the same speed and angle as a RWD of equal spec (and driver skill!) could though, as he has to purely rely on momentum and handbrake ass dragging gayness.

But what he IS good at is what most people CANT do, is initiating the drift properly, rather than just power oversteer homosexuality.

Its pointless, but in the same way most crazy power FWD cars are in general.

Just done to prove a point.

Though IMO people believe more people care than they actually do

Wish people would learn the difference between drifting and powersliding.

I think what this guy does is really impressive and the way he comes into the drift suggests he'd be damn good in a rwd too.

Just don't understand why he bothers because he'd be having way more fun in a rwd.
