Here's a short clip I know I've posted before.

As a bonus I'll give you 30 minutes with crazy people trying to drift...

The rumour has it that the black supra (the third car?) only had ONE gear when he did this... namely third.

Doesn't Ken Block make an entire series about drifting an AWD car?

When it got went I could start and maintain power drifts in my forester XT 5 speed.

I wish my stupid A6 could do this. I can't loose traction even on wet grass. If i do, it is massive understeer only

Yup, but these guys are "amateurs" :P To be honest I just wanted to share some Gatebil with Oppo again. Gatebil is quite insane shit really, a bunch of insane people driving like fuck on a circuit, plenty of 1000+ HP cars. All for fun :)

Yeah I have to turn the ESP off in my S4 to hoon on snow even.

Audi's tend to have massive understeer, just keep the pedal down, it'll turn into oversteer. But you DO need more some power ;)

Edit: More some should be "more power than from the factory" (it's hot here, I can't think.)

Ah, got it. I thought you were speaking of AWD in general.

Gatebil is certainly on my bucket list for a while now. Seems an awesome event not only to watch the race, but the whole community that gathers seems awesome to be around.

It used to be an awesome crowd there, but for the last two years now it's been a bunch of young people more into getting drunk... but it's worth it if you've never been there, the Time Attack is quite insane.

I'm guessing that S4 also had massive power and a rear-bias center diff.

It's actually a BAT A4, you're likely right about the diff. Here's a SpeedHunters write up on it: http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/07/you-kn…

ah, well that will be even better for drifting, less iron up front.

Edit: ahhh front and rear LSD's with a welded center diff.

true true. More powaaaa!!! Still, even some of our Lotus here at work have a lot of understeer. The rep told me a brief blip of throttle to transfer the weight before power on is an easy fix

That dude is batshit. Now I don't know much about driving but it looks like the AWD let him bring the rear out farther without washing out. Definitely cool

if you search on youtube for Alm Racing you'll find much more of the same. There's two of them, and they are bonkers.

this one comes to mind..

And then there's this one

my god. I wish F1's turbo's sounded like that this year haha.

Oh I also meant to say I don't know much about drifting, but I also probably don't know as much as I think about driving, so I regret nothing
