I saw this yesterday..its faulk-ing incredible.

Makes you wonder whats the point of converting a WRX to rear-wheel drive if it can still do all of that while in AWD setup.

And I always thought Travis was the better driver...

Please don't tell me you are referring to drifting...

Nice. Like how he went into couple corners basically backwards. I have only tried that on Grand Turismo.

Now whos taking who too seriously..

Although...watching that video..he was able to hang it out pretty good the way it was. I'd really like to see him do an Irwindale style course in the same car and see how it handles

You made a serious post.

That sliding around is very good for Rally style.
He is not doing "drifting" though.
sorry.

Oh I'm totally advocating him to get into Formula D next year...

Look at the first "slide" again...full out practically almost 90 degrees...he was drifting by the technical definition of the word plan and simple.

I'm fully aware of why RWD is best I was merely saying that if he was able to do all of that without changing the drivetrain set up if he really wanted to go out there and try to hang with the "drifters" he wouldn't be all that far off.

Have you ever seen drifting?
Let me know.
I expect a writeup by 9AM tomorrow.
