Drifting

When it created the GT86, Toyota hoped it would act as a spiritual successor to the AE86 Corolla GT. This connection to a legendary past has now been made even stronger by a team within Toyota UK, which has channeled the AE86 from Japanese manga series Initial D to create a monochrome GT86 concept.

The new Can-Am Spyder F3-S has what the company is calling a Sports mode feature that allows riders to drift, and is meant to turn riding through twisties into a more exciting experience.​

When you're preparing for one of the world's biggest, most challenging car races, sometimes it's good to blow off some steam. Aston Martin Racing team members did just that when they parked their V8 Vantage GTE cars and dropped into the "cockpit" of something Razor Crazy Carts.

Nissan has used a heavily modified GT-R to break the record for the world's-fastest drift. Piloted by Japanese Drift Champion, Masato Kawabata, the 1,380-hp (1,029-kW) Nissan stole the record from Poland's Jakub Przygoński.

Razor has announced its latest Crazy Cart, and this one is designed to make drifting even easier than previous models. The Crazy Cart Shift makes a number of changes which will enable younger drivers to achieve serious drifts, including an 8 mph (13 km/h) max speed.

Felix Baumgartner rose to fame in 2012 by setting a new record for high-altitude skydiving. His latest stunt saw him at the controls of a Bolkov BO105 aerobatic helicopter, seeing how closely he could track a drift car.

Not so long ago we featured the Crazy Cart XL, an adult-sized version of the original drifting Crazy Cart. It looked like great fun. Well, it turns out that it's even more fun than it looks. It's also a little trickier to get the hang of than it looks, which we found out the hard way.

Sometimes you can buy a toy for yourself and pretend you bought it for a child. That won't be the case with the Crazy Cart XL. It's a new version of Razor's original Crazy Cart that was released last year. It's been made bigger and more powerful, especially for grown-ups who should know better.

When the Crazy Cart first launched last year, it made a huge splash. Not just for its awesome sideways drifting action, but because it featured the best promotional video we've ever seen. Now, Razor has announced that the vehicle will be available in the UK from August 1.

Auto parts manufacturer SFD Industries is at the forefront of a rise in motorized trike drifting, and is staking its claim in the form of the Big Wheel Drift Trike. Packing a whopping 26-inch front wheel, it runs on a 6.5 hp motor and is proportioned to make an adult feel like a child once again.

Trike drifting has typically been the plaything of adrenaline junkies with long and winding downhill runs at their disposal. Tortuga Trikes is looking bring the sport to flatter terrain, unveiling a trike with a 6.5 hp motor on the back to bring the hobby even closer to a drift car experience.

BMW Performance Center Instructor Johan Schwartz spent a large slab of his Saturday in a continuous drift that covered an insane 51.28 miles (82.52 km) to set a new Guinness World Record.
