For those that like drifting...

...here it is in R/C style!

It took me a minute to realize that these were R/C cars, because the track looks very realistic and to near perfect scale.

That's pretty cool. The relative speeds of those little cars is much faster than anything I've seen at full scale - I bet it is harder to control the remote control cars than it is to do it at full scale.

In a real car, you're using you're entire body to sense the road, the tires, and the drivetrain...I can't imagine how difficult this in these R/C cars.

I have an electric rc car and can tell you it's difficult enough just to get it to drive in a straight line.

The nitro (gas) cars are a bit more manageable but you have to buy special drift tires.

My daughter's bf has one of those nitro r/c cars...it's a blast watching them tear up the roads.
