that just looks uncomfortable, i'd be shitting it if I was a passenger as that driver just doesn't give me confidence

yes, he doesnt exactly inspire confidence... right jon?

[Rosc0PColtrane]

You're right, there's something wrong, it's an e39 in the e30 section!

[E30BeemerLad]

I didn't watch much of it as it just seemed like a normal average jo having a go at hanging the back end out, but he made me nervous watching him almost lose the slides when he was trying to collect it up, i just had visions of him binning it into the armco and thought, what's the point really.

Kudos to him for having a go though

Yawn. Still impressive how he didnt bin it.

[munky30]

impressive... but not that impressive.

If all it takes to impress you is people not crashing, you must have a whale of a time driving to the shops... Do you get out and congratulate people for getting around corners without hitting things?

Munky

You should get some more practice in at TKmax carpark, as i would love to see you do the same as what he can on the ring.....

[d6dph]

Oh dear Munky, You have incurred the wrath of the real zone p*ss takers!

[josh-hocking]

[touringandy]

ooh de-ja-vu.

I never said I could do better. I dont drift in car parks, I prefer airfields. Even there I do a very poor impression of someone drifting.

Does someone with any level of talent at something you cant do instantly impress you then? He's not very good, so its not very impressive.

His exits from each drift are very jerky and dont look entirely controlled, he doesnt do any high speed drifts, and its p*ssing it down, he's in a high power car, so what I see in that video doesnt impress me much.

Why so many people have a problem with my opinion is beyond me. But as ever, someone says something you dont like so you try your best to belittle them. Keep up the good work jon.

I bet there are a couple of 100mph corners he drifts...

[Simon13]

i don't slag off anything anyone is doing unless i know i could do better, munky maybe if you took this on board people might not get wound up by you?

[munky30]

I didnt slag it off, I commented on what I think makes it not that impressive.

The video was posted up for opinions to be given. Mine is that its impressive, but not that impressive.

[northloop]

Opinions are like arseholes ........ everyone has one

Personally the lap entertained me. The reason why? I have yet to see a drifter do this at the ring for a whole lap. Is he any good at it? Who knows, but he is better than me

[chrisr29]

Never seen these?





Stefan Bellof in the Ruf CTR 2.

Best ring vids ever.....sideways everywhere!

[munky30]

sideways on purpose though?

Impressive in a different way... bloody quick. But hardly comparable to a video of someone drifting the ring.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Didn't someone say something about the esp still being engaged?? That would explain the jerky correct and lack of fish tail?

I don't think I'd take an e39 (If I owned one) on a track, yet alone try drifting it!

[chrisr29]

sideways on purpose though?

I dunno....looked like he was hanging the rear out to speed up his corner exit.....you don't drive a car like that accidentally and get away with it.

Impressive in a different way... bloody quick. But hardly comparable to a video of someone drifting the ring.

Bloody quick indeed...the guy holds the record for the fastest lap ever in a 956 at 6 min 11.

Considering the lenghts of the straights at the ring i fail to see how you could in fact drift a whole lap.

[munky30]

lol... no, but you could drift a lot more corners than the m5 does.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Quite possibly not the first time he's drifted around this track. Perhaps he has produced more challenging laps when the camera was not there?
