Drifting

A new drifting simulator is on the horizon. Called Drift 19, it hopes to be the most realistic smoking and sideways experience around.

Fueling up is not a very exciting task. In fact, it’s one of the most mundane things about vehicle ownership. BMW engineers understand this and as a result, came up with an entirely new way to refuel an M5: doing it during the middle of a drift.

Last seen in Forza Motorsport 4, the cult classic 1994 Nissan Silvia K’s is back with the franchise, but only for those who manage to drift their way through week two of Forzathon.

If GTPlanet were focused solely on Gran Turismo, we would miss so many opportunities to bring interesting news on other driving games to the front page. In this particular case, that would be a clear misfire as Absolute Drift: Zen Edition is one of the more interesting driving games we have seen lately, bringing some much needed diversity to this genre.

People who enjoy spending much of their time in drifting lobbies could find the following video quite delightful. The Mixed Reality video series created by Marcel Pfister continues, this time focusing purely on drifting, a discipline that can definitely benefit from the freedom VR provides. Watch the video above and enjoy the beauty of tandem drifting.

We’ve all got some special friends on social media… You know who I’m talking about: the people who share everything they come across, regardless of how ridiculous it looks or sounds?

YouTuber Starky513 got his hands on some Gran Turismo 6 drifting gameplay footage, which features a former GT Academy Race Camp finalist behind the virtual wheel of an Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale.

During his recent trip to Las Vegas for SEMA and the 2012 Gran Turismo Awards, Kazunori Yamauchi had a chance to get behind the wheel of Daijiro Yoshihara’s (2011 Formula D Champion) Discount Tire/Falken Tire S13 drift car.
