Crazy Japanese RC Drifters Make Video Magic

Holy hell do I love drifting. It may not be as fast or as precise as legit track racing, like you would see at Le Mans, but it certainly feels more raw and exciting.

And then you get the RC Drifting leagues. If drifting is an art, then these RC maniacs are performing a symphony.

We have already seen RC Drifting hit the mainstream, thanks to that wild Lexus RC F commercial, but this is what it looks like when you can get some of the best together.

The video was filmed at the WARU circuit (yes they have RC racing circuits) in Yokohama Japan, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite so mesmerizing. Watching tandem drifters is awesome, but watching more than a half dozen cars in a sideways ballet is even better.

The music is pretty awesome to boot. It may not be full of Lexus models, but it’s still well worth watching (and hearing).

Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >>
