Since a new week is here, we'll kick it off with yet another one of our answers-to-questions-nobody-asked pieces. So, without further ado, here's the question - in terms of steering wheel tuition, what would be the opposite of driving school?
The answer has to be drifting. After all, when you release the wheel and expect the car to return to the neutral position on its own, or throttle-steer your way through a corner, you do everything your instructed had taught you to avoid. And we're here to show you why not giving a fudge about anything can lead to a successful drifting career. We are, of course, kidding, but stick around and you'll catch our drift.

As Green Hell aficionados among you know, drifting is forbidden during Touristenfahrten (Tourist Day) events. However, since the occasional oversteer is inevitable during a track day, some drivers, from amateurs to Ring Taxi drivers, take advantage of this at certain times, smoking their tires a little.

But what if you want to pull some proper slip angle stunts? Well, such adventures would bring you a nice fat ban, if delivered during "normal" Ring track days, so you'll have to aim for the Nurburgring Drift Cup.

However, this means forgetting about the Nordschleife and moving to the much shorter, but just as technical Müllenbachschleife part of the Nurburgring.

Returning to the not-giving-a-fudge part we mentioned above, we're actually here to show you what happens when Nurburgring drifters turn to this attitude. It all has to do with an unconventional series of interviews involving Ring figure Boosted Boris (you might have met him before during the Koenigsegg One:1 bicycle lap) and a group of Green Hell sliders who obviously don't give a fudge.

P.S.: If you're willing to see what happens when Ring drifters do care about what they do, check out the second clip below.

P.P.S.: Needlesly to say, there is a lot of NSFW language in the first clip.
