Best Drift Ever? Reverse-entry slide has JDM judges all aflutter

Posted October 27, 2009 11:31 AM

From Autoblog:

You know the famous soccer announcer (football to you internationals), Andrés Cantor, who screams "Goooooaaaallllll" after a score? A bit of performance genius has had some Japanese drift announcers overcome in similar ecstasy. When M.

My guess it is a four wheel drive with non possi center differential so the front wheels pull the car out of the under steer by rotating faster than the rear. Might have to limit the rear spin to pull it off.
