Nice job, Perry! Turn 3 of G-man is a great place for drifting...and provides a good vantage point for filming, too.

Thats pretty cool.. personally, I would have maintained traction, late apexed that corner and would have been a couple car lengths ahead of him exiting the corner

Drifting looks cool, but it is never the fastest way around a paved track.

Absolutely correct...it's just for fun. And it takes a bit of skill to master the technique...it shows that Perry is a good driver. But it's never the fastest, just fun.

Now drifting in rally cars GT3-style...man, that is a blast!

You are right. But, if you are running crap street tires and didn't have enpugh racing tire for the track day. drifting is the next best thing you can do other than fast lap time.

I just got another set of A032R 2 weeks ago. Let me tell ya, the car is alive again.

That's pretty cool Perry. I especially like the way you blew by that BMW. Nice bit of driving. Looks like you got that corner nailed.

I took the air box cover off for sound effect. I know, I am losing 100HP that way. But, it just sounds so cool that I can't resist taking it off for the track.
