While most associate drifting with rear-wheel driven cars, being taken around various roads/tracks sideways, with a big cloud of tire smoke in their wake, in Saudi Arabia, drifting is a different concept altogether. Now, while some may have rear-wheel drive cars which they actually drift, the ‘proper way’, most ‘arab drifters’ have front-wheel driven cars which require a... different technique to get to go sideways.
Take this fearless driver who, at 200 km/h violently pulls on the steering wheel of his Hyundai Sonata, destabilizing the car and making it go sideways in a fashion which is almost as spectacular as that of ‘regular drifting’ - in fact, it is even more so, because the driver has far less control, and the car could understeer at any time, or snap into oversteer, or snag a bump and roll.
We have yet to see anything more spectacular, undertaken at the wheel of a front-wheel drive car, and while we do not approve of such acts on public roads, the skill is irrefutable.
