That’s a clickbaity headline, isn’t it? To be fair, this post does contain a video and it includes some light drifting as part of my quickest gymkhana run of yesterday.

From what I’m told (couldn’t stay until the awards ceremony), this was the best time of the day, among a bit over 20 competitors (each driving an e36, as this was a local club event). Turns out, all you need to do this is ~200 horsepower (could probably do it with even less, since it is mostly first gear) and a working hydraulic handbrake. Fun times!

That looks like a crazy amount of fun.

It is really, really fun - having started out mostly doing events where you compete for the fastest time (which, admittedly, was the case here as well), I have recently grown fonder and fonder of drifting, as it’s just such a relaxed sport and you can have a ton of fun with your friends (I actually had a friend in the car for all of my runs).

All in all, I guess we can just say that racing, in any form, is fantastic even if it absolutely destroys your bank account.
