Drifting World Record set in the GT86

http://www.autoblog.com/2014/07/30/d...ta-gt86-video/

"German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out."

It's a good color scheme. Even looks good as it's going by sideways lol.

That wasn't footage of him getting the record. It was just a bit of video of him TRYING to get the record.
