Mercedes owners can afford to rent tracks though, no airfield needed.

I've never understood drifting as a sport. Sure it looks cool, but why not save the shenanigans for car chase scenes?

Its not a sport to me, racing is a sport. But it sure is fun to watch for a little bit.

Kids that grew up on Xbox seem to like it.

Wow! Could it be the traction control keeping it from rolling?
