Funny how the camera seems to always shy away from the speedometer when they start drifting...


Any idiot can can keep a car straight at 240km/hr on a desert highway with dry wide lanes, little or no traffic, no road side gulleys to fall into, and sand embankments to mitigate any off-road skid


Besides, to drift in that manner, they will have to tap the brakes and keep the tyres on a swerve..swerving means more tyre friction with the road...and friction is an enemy of acceleration.which means the swerving is already slowing down the vehicle before braking is even applied..

They will also have to take their foot off the accelerator while braking for the drift...and cars decelerate very fast when brakes are applied at such high speeds..in fact it has been proven that the higher the speed at which a vehicle is moving, the more sensitive its braking system.... . especially when the braking applied is sufficient to put the vehicle into a drift.... before that car does 3 seconds in the drift, speed will likely be far below 100km/hr


Someone should post a drift with the speedometer clearly showing above 170 at the time of drift...then I can take these towelheads seriously

There were drifts of course...but definitely not at 180km/hr

Kindly zoom in and tell me what you see on the speedometer.
