AHAHAHAHHAHA :cwm27: ( :uhoh: Doesn't know whats wrong with it (Doesnt really know what drifting is))

ohhhhhhhhhhhh NVM lol... didnt see the crash..

thats shit sux sooo bad!

Damn that's fucked up for that guys car :(

Yup, the best way to wreck a perfectely cool EVO and have a good headache instead !

Well, he's lucky that I wasn't the guy in the Lotus Elise... cuz he could eat his hamburger through a straw by now ! So the crash isn't a bad thing for him.

Humiliating thing... going back home towed by a John Deere !!! Haha.

I've seen this before, I think from memory it was a French Driving School as well

That is sooooo fucked up on so many levels. First the guy was kinda showing off to the porches and elises that a little evo could take turns just as well with given technique, but then he gets sloppy and loses it. Yeah, they all laughed pretty hard after they found out he was safe.

Sad for an EVO to be wrecked like that..

But I am wondering why the car flipped after the car lose traction?

It was only an evo no big loss

And crap it out of one of several freshly ripped assholes......

Why it flipped over: because he only had two wheels on the ground, he was sliding downhill and through sand. My guess is that since his CG was so off center that when he hit the sand, they caught the wheels, slowed them down and let the heavy top of the car roll it on over. Proof of this (or at least, what makes me think I'm right) is when they show the front left wheel with the tire pulled all the way off.

And also, for a point of clarification, drifing is not the fastest way around a track. So, it was in the '80's but cars have gotten better and good race drivers now hold a good, controlled, fully tracted line through turns. Not that drifting isn't cool, fun, difficult, and a segment of motorsport in itself, but it's not a real viable way to beat someone racing anymore. Its more like "freestyle driving" than it is actual racing (ie see who can get around the track the fastest). It doesn't look like those Porsches or Lotuses are running full bore, and they probably aren't if it's a driving school. If they were, I doubt the EVO would be passing them as easily.

Thats no good!

Who put this is "Drag racing," shouldn't it be in Drift Forum (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1158)?

Poor Evo, who knew it was going to turn out like that... :(

why do people always say this? who claimed in this thread that is WAS the fastest way around a track?

nobody has ever claimed it to be a technique to be the fastest around a track.

it's an advanced driving technique, that exhibits a driver's extraordinary car control - nothing more, nothing less.

Thanks for clearing up Willimo. :)

hey guys, i was bored and stumbled upon this, good by to the evo...

If you'd read the thread you'd notice nervestrings said that using a drifting technique the Evo could corner as well as the Porsches and such, which isn't true.

thats the saddest movie i've seen all year. i love evo's, they have been my dream car since i've been 16. in fact i would gladly light my 240 on fire and dance around it naked if some would give me an evo to do it. its a shame to see it go out like that.

when i first saw the clip i knew it was that part, the driver was going into the turn way to fast. buy yes it was still sad to see it go

This is real old,and lately it has been passed around like crazy.I could tell the site where it originated from,and how it got here,that's how passed around this video has been lately.

another reason to get a wrx

;)

some of those braking drifts where really nice. but yeah..i saw that coming before he drove on the dirt, because he was going to fast..and the point where the tires should have grabbed to exit...didnt..and it kept sliding...my eye caught that...and i was like..oh shit....is he gona make it?..then bam! car flipped....phew....i hope that never happens to me...but then again...i dont think it would..my car is to damn low to flip like that..if anything..my chassy will brake in half or get ripped open by the pavement.

Least it landed on its wheels... :eek7:

So were the front tires too hot to get traction or did he just fuck up? Brake fade maybe?

Yea, looked like he wasnt doing to bad untill that last turn. I was wondering if the tire came off the beed or something. I wonder if he learned anything?....

I'd hope you mean sti.

I'd hope you mean sti.

i hope both of you watched 5th gears sti/evo8 comparison. evo8 wins against the sti. but for some reason they both say they would take the sti. i thnk it has to do with its rally inspired styling. the evo needs its halogens back.

Looks like he'd been having trouble with that turn earlier in the video too, coming in too fast and understeering. Seemed like he was a pretty good driver, although definitly being a jerk. Jumping in front of other cars at turn in and such is definitly not a smart thing to be doing on a track. On that last turn you can see he was going way too fast, smashed the brakes and understeered his way into the dirt.

it was only an evo? just cuz u drive a camaro doesnt me u can be an idiot, an evo is pretty sweet, and would woop ur ass
