OMG seeing a girl drift a Cefiero just made my week. I used to watch and post alot of Gal Dori’s videos in hope that some american girls would watch and start trying themselves. One can only dream!

Very cool. Gals have historically performed just as well in many branches of motorsports, though they’ve often just lacked the opportunities/resources/sponsorships/encouragement that go more easily to the guys. Good for these ladies, I hope they’re getting taken seriously and not just being run as a novelty/publicity act.

wow, that was actually really cool. As an amateur drifter, I know how much skill it takes to even get around one corner, and these girls (women, ladies? whats the correct term here) are truly talented. And good luck getting a R32 skyline in the states for anything less than 30k.
