0Video: Drifting returns to its mountain roots... in Poland 1329509640
We'll be honest: We miss drifting. Not the polished, sponsor-laden, energy-drink soaked Formula D. We miss the seedy internet shaky-hand cam videos of Japanese drivers slinging their hand-built machines up the mountain side in the middle of the night. Poland, of all places, has sought to marry ...

Video: Pair of Toyota GT86s duel in parking lot drift battle 1328576460
There is likely no end to the amount of fun one can have with an empty parking lot, a few cones and a willing vehicle. Add two capable machines to the mix and the enjoyment increases exponentially. When those happen to be two Toyota GT86 coupes, all that's missing is the not-so judicious ...

Video: Vaughn Gittin Jr. almost out-drifted by RC car 1327971660
We've finally come to accept the fact that we'll never be Vaughn Gittin Jr. There can be only one one pure-bred drift hooligan of his caliber on this planet and truth be told, our sideways skills are paltry at best. That doesn't mean we can't pretend, though. Gittin Jr. has teamed up with a ...

Video: Watch this Nissan 240SX roll during a drifting exhibition 1327607880
Probably the less said about this video, the better. According to the video uploader, the event takes place during the "Still Ballin' Car Club Nite Out" (yes, really), but we aren't sure if it's a proper race or just for show. Heck, we can't even figure out where the event took place. At any ...

Video: Nissan-wielding Bloodmasters wreak havoc on Raceway Park 1327105740
At some point, drifting made the shift from counterculture revolution to the sponsor-laden vehicular equivalent of figure skating. We're not sure when it happened, but we certainly miss the days of watching grainy videos of mountain pass heroes piped over from Japan. The Bloodmasters crew seem to ...

Video: Motorcycle vs. Car Drift Battle 2 debuts, someone called the cops 1326502740
We all know sideways is slow. Kicking the tail out and sending the rear tires blazing may take a heaping helping of skill, but it won't win you any races. That doesn't make it any less awesome, however. Icon has gone through the trouble of crafting yet another drift battle between motorcycle and ...

Video: Scion FR-S turbo spotted testing at Laguna Seca 1325617260
It looks as if Scion may be hard at work on a new turbocharged FR-S prototype. Motor Trend nabbed a quick video of what appears to be a forced-induction version of the coupe darting around Laguna Seca. With its tall wing and sideways antics, the vehicle is likely being put through its paces by ...

Video: Autocar gets sideways in the 2012 BMW M5 1325466060
The 2012 BMW M5 is something of an anomaly. Despite its size and weight, the big luxury sedan is actually quicker than its less corpulent sibling, the BMW M3, around a road course. With a 552-horsepower twin-turbo V8 engine capable of sucking down small communities, there's no arguing the M5's ...

Video: Rhys Millen hoons it up in Hyundai's old headquarters 1323979080
"Wouldn't it be cool to do something outrageous inside [our old headquarters] before all the walls finally came down?" Why yes, Hyundai, it would. "Why not put Rhys Millen, his Genesis Coupe drift car, and our abandoned HQ together for a unique drift demonstration in a unique ...

Video: Will it drift? Yes, the 2013 Scion FR-S will drift [UPDATE] 1323705600
The Scion FR-S may not be big on power, but Toyota and Subaru engineers have delivered a lightweight, rear-drive coupe at what should be a palatable price point. That sounds like a recipe for track day fun if you ask us, or you can watch the post-jump video for visual evidence. One drifter as he ...
