Positively the most "get up off the couch and do something about it" video I've seen. I was born in the wrong generation. I want to be there in the gallery back in 1980whatever. Better yet in the driver's seat.

Proof that even if you drive like a complete toolbag, you can still get a lot of attention...
I first saw this posted on a rally site, it was used as proof that RX-7s make really shitty rally cars.

It's not about "drift" or "grip" or other useless Initial D concepts.
Anyway, on the same forum, a video of the Sierra Cosworth was posted - same rally series, same toolbag-like driving, same serious overdriving leading to slow corner exits and spins, but somehow it's not "OMG the RX-7 is too short and unstable to be a good rally car" and instead "Wow that looks badass!"
Whatever. Toolbags drive like toolbags, and sideways is still slow, no matter where you're driving.
Andrew Havas is one of this nation's better RWD pedalers. Notice that he doesn't get very sideways even on gravel or snow. Neat lines are fast lines.
Sure, it *looks* sideways, but bear in mind two things:
Tires get maximum traction at a certain slip angle.
On loose surfaces, the slip angle is compounded by the fact that the ground is constantly rolling out from under you.
Notice that even on snow, he's driving less visually sideways than the toolbag in the Group B car on tarmac. That angle just happens to be where maximum traction is attained.
This is why concepts of "grip" and "drift" are useless.
(BTW - It's an SA, not an FB. Officially it's a 1979 RX-7. The body's been redone a few times)
