Very nice driving.
I'd like to see him do it in a RWD car though, that would be cool...

Being in control while out of control. Awesome.

It might be just the gamer in me but I can see a car game come out of this. Insane drifting.

I would have thought it would be harder to drift an all wheel drive than a rear? I suppose with that much horsepower it doesnt matter. True master of his art.

It's harder to get it to start drifting but it can be done - power helps lots though.

The STi has a DCCD controller which allows the driver to set the torque distribution further to the rear which would also make it a lot easier. Rip that handbrake and you're good to go :

Can a moderator make this a sticky before it gets reposted 48,122 times?

Nice driving. The guy will kill himself one day, driving around hard solid objects like he does. He's already cracked his back doing some stunt work.

Impressive.......... Yes

When he does that in one take..............Then I'd be REALLY IMPRESSED

Look at the WRC drivers, yes they do recon. work and have their pace notes, but still, most of their driving is still on the fly and instinct. Not on a layed out course.

Don't take this the wrong way, I seriously wish I had this guys skill, or even just a fraction of it, but I think he gets talked up as the best driver in the world and that is definitely not true. That's my 2 bob.

I could do that, anyone that drives flowing rally style could, any drifter could. Its done in heaps of takes. So what....

The power is the only thing any most rally drivers would be missing.

not shy are you?! i dont doubt you, especially because you sound so unimpressed with the clip... guess he'll have to try harder next time.

maybe you should youtube him and take a look at his dirt and snow jumps, 171 feet jumps aren't something "anyone that drives flowing rally style could" so maybe he's got you there.

p.s. im being sarcastic and i hope your just kidding?!
