As a track photographer, I do my best to stay far whenever there's no k-rail

Thats good news! Theyre should have been concrete baricades to protect spectators and photogrophers. This stuff happened all the time with the group b rally cars.

Luckily no one was killed, but its crazy to see people flying around like dummies. All the tracks here have some kind of wall/fence/guard rail to prevent that from happening.

Check out the footwork!!!

Those spectators are either very brave, or naive to the fact that sometimes drivers lose control.

I don't understand this facscination with drifting. It is dangerous, probably illegal on a public road (although the video appeared to be on a track), and, on dry pavement, puts enormous stress on rear tires, wheel bearings, and, in some cases, the suspension itself. That's why traction control and vehicle stability systems were developed.

I also never really understood the fascination with it. It is impressive to watch and you need some great car control skills but I get bored of it pretty quickly. But then I prefer straight up racing on road courses.

Of course, guys doing deliberate drifting on tracks and in meets will turn the electronics off...that's not an issue. But, you're right......I could have phrased the second part of the post better. The whole point that electronic traction-aids were developed was not because of damage to tires and wheel bearings from powerslides, but to keep those events from happening on public roads, especially in low-traction conditons where unskilled or careless drivers could easily lose control.

(Sorry if I made that unclear in the last post.....maybe you were right to ROFL)

I think I see dead people. Hope that is not the case.


But that is just too dangerous.

Not good news for the guys who got hit. It looked like at least a couple could have gotten hurt bad enough to be disabled to some extent. Maybe even paralyzed. I don't know many people who would be thankful to be alive but paralyzed.
