I knew it was supposed to be drifting. . . I just didn't know about the driver, and I kinda figured he was a beginner, considering his, uhh, judgement (. . . or lack-thereof). But, you proved me wrong... Still a funny pic, nonetheless!

I know he's drifting, but I don't know about the driver.

Even professionals make mistakes, the car just drifted too wide and dug into the sand.

Wow lucky guy, he almost rolled it.

 

[thecoolness]

hahah, hes gonna have a case of grass on the roof! errr in this case dirt.

Wow lucky guy, he almost rolled it.

I'd say at that point he was along for the ride (it went over a few times).

Who the hell is it?

How do you know it's drifting? All I see is that the car is sliding backwards with the wheels cut in. That could have happened by applying too much inward steering and the car understeering like a sack of potatos.

Unless you have a different source for that info.

It doesn't look like a beginner , it does look like a beginner!

It doesn't look like a beginner , it does look like a beginner!

What? That makes no sense.

Actually, he may or may not be 'drifting'. That question can only be answered by whether or not he intended to oversteer through the turn. In any even what did happen is that he went too fast through the turn or turned in too late, and the outside rear wheel dropped into the kitty litter because he was too wide. Unless he gets extremely lucky, that car is going to roll in about another 750 milliseconds.

For the record, most terminal spins wind up on the inside of the turn after the apex.

So then he would be moving to the right of the picture?

 

[Duke]

Correct. The spray of gravel from the sandtrap is showing that the left rear tire of the car is digging a high-speed trench.

He drifted wide - but he wasn't drifting.

Poor M5, First attempt I ever tried drifting at work was when I had an M3 Convertible, and I took off DSC and put that ***** in Sport Mode. I went around a corner, full opposite lock, traction finally kicked in when I was hitting 9000 RPM's and I spun out of control, and ended up backwards. I was scared ****less... If I knew how to get my Send Video feature to work on my cell phone I was share with you guys, so you can laugh along with me

holy crappy! if he was trying to drift, he went a little overboard, when I drive my dads M5 I try to keep DSC on, but sometimes I turn it off, and turn sport mode on, the back will start sliding pretty easy, but luckily I have never spun it out, just a little tire smoke, no harm done
