The videos were good to watch but I do not see the purpose of "drifting", it is not the fastest way around a track and is very hard on tires and suspension. You can learn in a high performance driving school to control your car on the skid pad and you do this by drifting, but they do not teach it as a form of driving, instead as a form of control. Sorry for the rant, I have drifted my car by taking a corner fast and hard, but I have never "thrown" it into a drift like I see so much of today.

Here is another link from SLO BMW forum:
http://forum.bmwslo.com/viewtopic.php?t=8834

On first pic you'll see how many tires we take for one event. Other pic are our cars.
And also that cars wich you saw on films are just for drift. Only Z3M Coupe was there five times mybe. The owner is the same as M3 dakrar gelb. But now he sold it (Z3M) for 28 000 USD.
Second and other pic are showing M3's. My is dakra gelb, friend drives silver one, and there was Z3 M and one M3 with black front from other friend on forklift truck.

We get old tires from mehanic repair shops and only cost were rims for start.

Another album. This was taken in a small circut. But it's very good. High speed never goes more than 80 km/h

Yea but power sliding is awfully fun, and it shows car control. I do agree though, throwing a car into a drift (except for snow!!) isn't that great.

awesome!!!!, try it on street roads, good to check if they're aren't any cars coming. Don't do it with a girl that's been drinking, she might puke in your car...(actually happened, not in my M3 though), I made her clean it.

It is the fastest if the driver is going down a winding mountain road, not to mention the danger. Imagine there is a shape turn in front of you. How are you going to keep the rpm and drift. Not using the heel toe this time. You want SPEED! While you are still in neutral, let the car drift in its position. Don't let loose your right foot from gas. Keep the rpm at a least 4000 rpm until gear 4 is in its place. It takes a while every time your engine pick up the speed again. Practice at 3 or 4am in the morning. You sure will sweat the 1st couple of time. I sound crazy, am I?
