Cool

There seem to be something up with the track, and wouldn’t be surprised he has special wheels on his car Notice when he pulls of he has no drift at all till he goes back on the track.

Wouldn't be surprised if this guy was japanese... they have a motorsport in Japan (Just called Drifting) where the object of the race is to drive round the track as sideways as possible - including the straight bits - which is possibly why this guys is sliding on the straights as well as the bends.

the drifting is in the steering / breaking and clutch work mainly ... its unlikely to be a specially track or wheels.

It's just controlled oversteer,and little else,and seems very popular as mentioned above,in Japan,and in some parts of the USA,where Skylines and Supras are treated to this form of entertainment.
