Holy ****...that is BADASS.

I did a track day with my e46 m3 a long time ago and the corkscrew is *scary*. Saw 2 cars smack the wall at the bottom in other run sessions.

pretty sick. kinda wish they had a better angle of it going down.

that's how I do the corkscrew anyways though... oh wait, I'm not trying to drift, it's just because I entered too fast and had to majorly correct, lol.

corkscrew takes some *****, since it's blind and once you enter and point at the middle tree, you just have to punch it blindly.

I'm going back in June for a track day, anyone else?

throttle feathering. its better to do it in a manual car where you can play with the clutch and use the hand break real fast to just break the rear loose and use the gas afterwards.

I'm probably banned from several dealers because i did some drifting with their demo cars

I drove stick shift for my whole life, I'm a street drift king.. I'm getting an auto C63 and I don't know if I'm gonna be that good drifting.. Drifting with an automatic looks weird to me.. I hope it's not gonna that hard because you're not really in control anymore lol

Which organizing group? PM me.

As for setup, stock most likely. No reason to do anything special.

I think there were cameras mounted to the top of the car...where is THAT footage?

I think the key to drift this car is to tap the brake in the corner to induce the tail and then feathering the throttle to hold it.
