at least he's not drag racing the car like most of you people on this forum do. drag racing with an evo is what i consider unimpressive driving.

Definately the driver did not impress anyone here on this forum..

My .2c

Well I agree that the car was abused, but the car control was AMAZING...... I AM COMPLETELY IMPRESSED....Try it and see if you can replicate just three back to back turns like that driver --- good luck! And if so, you probably should be racing professionally.

Did we watch the same video? In my opinion it was pretty far from being in control, and even further of being fast. To me it looked like stupid driving and pointless car abuse.

You don't spin if you are in control and you don't go sideways on tarmac if you want to go fast.

Most of the video showed the driver going thru what is typically a slow speed obstical course. In almost all turns the driver was in control and used almost all of the course. I am sure you could have posted better times.....

Good luck....and keep telling yourself that was bad driving...it will make you feel better....I'll bet if you learned that was Marcus G. you'd have a different opinion....

just look at the long drift, it was perfect. he really abused the car for sure, but most of the time it was impressive. I think the guy just got completely pissed that he lost it... just hope that is not going to be my evo....

Well, flying through the air, at that speed, is not simply leaving the track!!!!

Jebus Christ people, the guy was drifting, not trying to go through the track with the lowest time possible. That was pretty amazing control in my opinion, especially considering the low speed of the course and the use of an AWD car with as much grip as the Evo on a dry track. Doing those slides in those type of conditions is hard! It wasn't as fantastic as the video of that Evo7 that drifted around a road course and ended up flipping over on itself, but this was some pretty damn good driving.
