Ah, the thrill of motorsports. I admit that having been to inspired by the World Rally Championships and Initial D (which came way before Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Dirft), I’ve tried some insane driving on my own. It’s pretty scary stuff. I tried powersliding and the smell of burnt rubber, highly-revved engine, and the side G-force scared me for my first few gos.

Whether you’d want to drift (with a Trueno Sprinter) or powerslide (with a Corvette), here’s a good video of Tiff Needell (of Top Gear fame):

Some points from Tiff:

• Use the power to start the slide
• Let off the power to stop the tail from spinning
• Catch the slide with the opposite lock (oversteer)
• Reintroduce the power to continue the slide
• Be gentle with the controls

This is not something that you should do on open road. Practice at your own risk. If you still plan to better hit a wide open space and do so with a qualified sport driving teacher.

Remember, always buckle up for safety.
