Drifting

That was pretty cool except I wonder if they had anything set up to prevent a HO into public traffic...

They have spotters with walkie-talkie and parabolic cameras to give plenty of warning.
btw, drifting on touge is just icing on top.  It's all for show.


A real touge race is like this

Cat and Mouse

The lead car wins if the space between the cars increases considerably, while the following car wins if the gap between them stays the same, decreases from start to finish or the following car overtakes the lead car. If any car spins out or crashes, the other one wins the race.

This method is used when the road area isn't wide enough to allow passing, but if the car in front does indeed somehow get passed, the overtaken car automatically loses.
