Fun Track Day, Little Mishap

Most can't make it as a race car driver because they are too slow. It's like the Harlem Globetrotters.

1. While I understand your point it has nothing to do with my point. The skills learned drifting are good for accident avoidance and when the unexpected happens for the average guy. That's why they teach it a the BMW schools ect. ect.

2. There are examples of the the other side of the coin. There are drifters that have competed at Super GT, Lemans ect. levels:

They never won LeMans, only the Mazda did as a Japanese manufacture. They will also be the first one to tell you they only do it for fun, not because it is fast. Plus if you know how to drive, how to control a sliding car should come natural.
