New Drifting World Record Set in Toyota GT86
 

That's like having the world record for gazing at your own navel.

Just read that a few hours ago. Using the 86 for this was perfect. Basically fulfilling its destiny regarding what it was built for.

The funny bit to me is the previous world record was already a GT86

I suppose this is a stupid question, but I wonder if the car needed aux fuel tanks to go 100 miles plus in that running condition. I also wonder what the rear tires looked like afterward.

I don't get the drifting thing, but then again I'm a middle-aged grump. I'd rather go around a corner just on the edge of the traction pie. I'm not denying the skill involved in doing something like that, though.

I could be completely wrong but with a wet skidpad I can't imagine they'd be in that bad of shape. Guess it depends how wet.

I think I would consider a wet skidpad to be cheating.

Is it hard to drive with an onion on your belt?

Nope, I just tell stories that don't go anywhere.

Could one could put any car on a frozen lake and "drift" around for a few hours/miles and break that world record ......??

:iono:

Shit, we used to do that in high school on the frozen lakes in the 70's. If thats the case, then I would would argue I hold the distance, highest BAC and stoned out of my mind world record, all while not killing ice fishermen. In a Chevette.

Fuck me, I'm a "drifter" before it was cool.
