Fantastic driving, few Kobayashi-style drifts and waving to the crowd at the same time as well. Top effort!!


Cheers,
Grant

Come on mate - we all know you're a driving god round the nurburgring, but there's plenty to be impressed by in that video...

it's not my skills (or lack of) that come into it. i once followed a proper drifter (bonbon) in an m3 around there that had never been before and was properly drifting each and every corner in the dry and i could barely keep up. that was impressive

this video is just a guy that drives there every week in a racecar that is designed to be driven like that. sorry, but i don't find it that impressive

you know yourself that it's hardly anything you wouldn't do on every corner when karting really, but because it's the ring and wet and dangerous it's somehow more skillful or impressive? given the same opportunity i'd have a go, as i'd be confident of the safety of the car and wouldn't have to care about the bill if it went wrong.

there is no drifting, just a bit of power oversteer now and again and bit of catching a rear end sliding under braking. massive difference.

Agreed, he is the 'chief instructor' afterall lol!

Reminds me of when I used to Kart in the wet on old green maxxis tyres, no front end grip what-so-ever and hardly any back end, spend 90% of the time sideways
