The joy of illegal street drifting is alive and well near the famous parking lot at the Tokyo Docks known as “Daikoku Futo.” Many thought that the taboo sport has been diminished by police, but luckily for our viewing pleasure it is still alive and well. Check out more drifting excitement at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

Saudi drift generally involves fishtailing a car violently back and forth at a high rate of speed, almost invariably on public roads. Those who that pull it off typically end with a 360 or 720 spin into the winners’ circle. Those who fail typically end up combining themselves with their low-budget sedans.

A good way to score high points in Formula D is to get your rear bumper as close to the obstacle as possible. If this BMW drifter was in competition for drifting, it would be an instant win. Landing less than an inch from a cement garage pillar, this is by far one of the closest calls I’ve ever seen. Find more BMW chaos at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

Look at that tire fly at 0:10! Performing the dangerous Saudi drift driving technique on the interstate, this drifter took the corner a little too sharp and ended up clipping the trailer of the semi. The rest of the drifting world better watch out for SA because these guys have no fear. Read more about Saudi drifting at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

During the long summer break between BDC Round 4 and the Knockhill final, BDC hosts a weekend event at the excellent Norfolk arena. The weekend consists of a full day of practice on the Friday followed by a non-championship competition which runs late into Saturday night. The highlight of the weekend is a team drift competition which takes place on the Sunday. The tight confines of the Norfolk track always produce spectacular battles, with no pressure of points and championship tables the BDC weekender is a highlight of the drift calender. Take a look, we’ve got a ton of fantastic pics at Speeedhunters.

Every once in a while I get an inclination to go to the beach like the guys in this video. The only difference is that I can’t drive my car out onto the sands of Santa Monica and drift around like the Subarus and Evos in this video! They must be at a dog beach though because there are entirely too many dogs running around!

Where would you go if you wanted to work on your drift technique? Well, if you were these guys, you’d find the most crowded public road in your neighborhood and practice amongst the locals. Not sure about the traffic laws in the country where this video was filmed, but I’m glad people can’t get away with this here!
