How does it handle? .... can you get it sideways even though it's 4wd?.

Sideways isnt quickest though Ben - you dont see Alonso going sideways or the BTCC boys :)

I know that Dunkinator - but I love trying to get myself a bit squiffy (without curry and beer).

That's an interesting point also, I always wondered why drifting took off, as to me it doesn't seem the fastest way through a bend.

Watching the additional disk that came with Tokyo drift it says - and I'm only quoting the DVD - so don't shoot me J.). Drifting came about due the really good guys who raced locally would start showing off due them being so far ahead of their opponent - the crowd enjoyed the showing off so much hence drifting was born.

Enough thread highjacking - back on thread :)

Spot on Ben,

Tsuchiya in particular started winning by a long way and was simply showboating.

Its a bit like they decided to make a sport for best wheelie, or one foot on the footrests for MotoGP riders or summat !!

:D :D

Sort of a "Strictly come Drifting" type thing then ;)

[runs and hides]

Sorry for the hijack Pablo :)
