A drifting car tour of San Francisco

[Richard230]

I know it can be a little slow in the office this time of year. So here is something to keep you awake for 10 minutes. :D

Hello Richard230,

Love that Vid! I have seen it many times. I would be awesome to have an ev car or bike do the same.

I love that video. I wish they would shut down SF for me to blast my racecar through sideways. :-) Must be nice to have Ken Block's resources/reputation to let him do that.

I don't get it. But I know some of you love seeing tires smoke, so here you go.

It's not electric, granted, but a 650-HP rear-drive Focus might be fun :)

Thanks Warren,

You can actually hear the wind in the video.

I read somewhere that for some of what they did, they didn't actually close all of the road. In particular, the bay bridge part was a rolling closure. !?!?

For Richard. :-)

This might be my favorite electric drift car vid ever:

Rear wheel drive trikes, which typically have only a third of their weight on the rear tire drift almost too easily.

A Twizy can't match this.

Reminds me of go karting on the frozen Milwaukee River, as a kid.
