So that dude Ken Block, owner of DC I think, is an amazing driver. He wins gold medals and shit for driving in the rally events at the x games and maybe the olympics if they even have that as a sport. anyway. this video is of him in an STI going wild drifting around houses and crazy obstacles at some airstrip. makes me want to fucking drive as fast as I possibly can to go get some coffee/beer/wings(hot). I guess what he is doing is called "gymkhana".
FROM WIKI
Gymkhana courses are laid out with cones representing "obstacles" to navigate through. Unlike autocross, which can be considered to be a small version of a road course, obstacles in Gymkhana will often consist of slaloms, 180 degree turns, 360 degree turns, figure eight turns and some times parking boxes. Gymkhana requires strong mental concentration and memorization of the track, as sections of the course frequently must be repeated or navigated backwards and or differently. The driver will use many techniques to effectively navigate a course. Handbrake technique, drifting and sliding and left foot braking are all necessary skills for Gymkhana.
