I think it would still be called drifting... but I'd call it extreme drifting.

I don't think so. I've looked at that film repeatedly, and it doesn't look to me like he's losing control. I think he's found the secret to looking wild is to have a little sand on the pavement to make it slick like ice!

Truthfully, in his first run, take a look at where his steer tires are pointed. The car spins around until he's going backwards, then he pulls it all the way around and goes beyond straight ahead. Must be a FWD car with lots of power to do all this.

All teh same, I'm glad I wasn't riding with him!
