We'll start this story be reminding you that drifting is forbidden during Nurburgring Touristenfahrten (Tourist Days) adventures and the safety reasons behind this rule are pretty much self-explanatory.
The occasional oversteer won't get anybody in trouble, though. After all, when pushing your car to the limit on the Green Hell, the rear end can start dancing at times.
However, some drivers take advantage of this loophole and go for slip angle adventures. Unfortunately, some of them simply don't know when to stop and make things unsafe for everybody - we've recently shown you such a case, involving a BMW 1 Series Coupe driver who kept sliding lap after lap, with the inevitable spin causing a bit of a traffic hickup and putting other people's lives in danger.
And the S2000 guy isn't the only one sticking to these two basic rules. In fact, the clip also shows us a Nissan Silvia S14 whose driver pulls similar stunts. Heck, given the sideways potential of the Silvia, the S14 seems like it pulls even juicier drifts than the S2K. Nevertheless, the Honda's performance remains the more spectacular one and it all has to do with its fire-spitting exhaust bonus.
P.S.: Even Ring Taxi drivers pull such short drifts at times, so you can easily slide on the Green Hell without being a douchebag and ruining the fun for everyone else around you.

We're not condoning such behavior, but we can't close our eyes and pretend this doesn't happen
So, if you must drift, you could at least do what the Honda S2000 driver in the piece of footage below did. To be more precise, the man drifted his high-revving Honda without pushing the car to angles that would bring an almost certain spin. More importantly, the sliding didn't take place mid-traffic, as it happened with the Bimmer example mentioned above.And the S2000 guy isn't the only one sticking to these two basic rules.
