GET THE DRIFT

摘要

Turn in, shake the rear loose and hold it there... Just how tricky can it be to drift a car? Trickier than it sounds, as Simon Davis learns the hard way. An S-chassis Nissan rounds the corner with the length of its heavily modified body wildly perpendicular to the apex. Its highly strung gazillion-horsepower engine is screaming in furious protest as it bounces off the limiter, while plumes of white smoke erupt from the rear wheels with the ferocity of a full-on pyroclastic flow. A metre or so from its rear bumper, a similarly modified Mazda RX-7 matches the leader's absurd angle of attack, and in tandem the two cars link slide after dramatic slide as they make their way around the tight, technical circuit.
