Saudi Drift
I'm sure you'll have seen these type of videos on YouTube, and all I can say is that they're impressively stupid..

Impressive...

Stupid...

I suppose even the first one is stupid considering they're using public roads.

They use rental cars, which is why the numberplates are usually removed or covered up, so if you ever visit Saudi there's a good chance the car you hire will have spent half it's life going sideways at 120mph... Highly illegal and from what I understand most of the people who take part that are caught are in prison.

Although the police don't really stand much of a chance catching anyone...

It seems to be a popular pastime, so I can't understand why someone somewhere hasn't hasn't bought a big plot of land (there's plenty of it) and created some sort of place people can do this kind of thing in a controlled environment. But possibly not in rentals....

I'm not expert at this sort of thing but not only isn't it going to do your tires any good I'd go as far as to say it could be dangerous too !

Those Saudi drifting vids are unreal, certainly the second one. It's amazing that bystanders don't get killed. Shocked

There's actually videos on YouTube of it going wrong, they're a bit squiffy to watch. But seeing a car plough into a crowd at 100mph sideways can't leave you feeling to healthy.

Seems to be some sort of gang rivalry going on in some cases too. Some cars have AK47's, and if they smash into another car it seems to result in a car chase, despite cars missing wheels or body panels.

In a strange sort of way I'd quite like to see it first hand..... Confused
