Apparently I've been living under a very large rock for a while, because I had no idea this place existed. Some of you may know me from Kenji's GranTurismo.com forums. Nice place you got here.
Anyway, on to the topic at hand. I've made a few drifting videos, the best of which is Gran Dorifto. It used to be at two places. One link went down after a week because the video was sucking up too much bandwidth. The other is just MIA [that'd be DriftCore, which also has a couple of my other drift videos]. There's a possibility, however, that it's still up at
http://www.impulse.org/dist/grandorifto.wmv.off [remove the .off extension to use it]. If GTPlanet wants to host that'd be fine with me.
Now,
Gran Dorifto 2 is complete. I think it's much better than my last effort, although the video capturing quality is still questionable due to the ghetto methods I have to use. But the quality of the drifts and editing are still there, and better than the original I think. I'm currently looking for some places to host this video (it's 25 MB, in DIVX 5.0.2) - the more the better. The original Gran Dorifto was more popular than I expected, and it placed a big load on the two humble servers that were hosting it.
mr_pushrod - thanks for the plug.
Just a point of clarification before I close. Drifting, the way I'm doing it, is *not* the fastest way around a corner. It's purely for show and enjoyment. But it's still way fun.
Edit - oooh, first reply on the second page. I feel special.
Oh, a couple more video links for those who can't get enough.
These are of me trying to drift in real life, in cars not very suited to it at all. Nothing spectacular, but it makes for entertaining watching anyway.

[Please "Save Target As." I don't know how well these servers will work out for streaming video.]
Happy drifting!
[Edited again, 'cause I seem to be a bit typo-happy tonight.
