Drifting is naturally hazardous, even the best professional drivers crash regularly. That's why it's illegal and dangerous to drift on the street. The best professionals are trying to get the most angle, smoke, sound and impact they can, which is why they crash. F1 drivers crash but you or I could lap any F1 circuit all day without crashing, just don't push as hard. Like I said, the guy's an idiot and he should go learn to drift properly. All I was trying to say is that saying "he should learn to drift properly" is like saying that someone should learn to drive at 150mph properly. It doesn't matter how good you are at it, it's still illegal and dangerous on the street where innocent road users could pop up unexpectedly at any moment and get flattened. |

Ouch, poor S13  Looks great on them R32 GT-R wheels too. Are they deffinately R32 alloys, as my dad has them fitted on his R33 so i just guessed they were the original wheels. So what was the point of impact anyway, a car, a wall a . . . ? |

Wet road, oil patch, gravel in the road, could be any reason to send the car spinning into a wall. Not everyone who drives RWD cars thinks they are Keiichi Tsuchiya.

What an idiot, putting up locals' council tax because he can't keep it on the road. Maybe he should go back to watching The Fast and The Furious until he learns to drift properly. Let's take a moment to wallow in the irony of your username here... Oh my god funniest post ever on RR  |

As others have said, anything could have happened, the damage doesn't look particularly drift based either, too much scraping at speed. So who knows? The driver  I feel it's also prudent to pick you up on your lack of knowledge when it comes to drift judging, there's far more to it than that, which makes drifting the technical, tactically challenging sport that it is |

I hate to stick my oar in at this late juncture but the accident is confirmed as that of a drifting based thing.
(EDITED for wifes peace of mid)
He seems like a decent guy and I don't want to stir up any curse word.
However, Take it to the fecking track already.
I would hate to see something similar happen involving another road user.
