I never quite understood how burning the crap out of your tires falls under the slogan "take control."

It takes a tremendous amount of control to do that.

Yeah, human control but not tire control.

Sam says the KDWs hold their grip extremely well beyond the cooking point. Funny to me that you think tires don't make a difference in drifting. hmmm...

idk, I'm just not a fan of drifting. I do agree that it takes some serious skills to do it. I'd rather see a tire hold a g or two without breaking loose.

I hear you. Not everyone's cup of tea, but pretty cool footage nonetheless...

I find most drifting videos to be boring. That one was cool though. Everyone I've talked to says drifting is great in real life, which makes sense I guess.

I'd like to see how they filmed it. I am guessing they stuck a camera on another car and followed the first one. If that's the case, the camera car had a lot of control too!
