Nitrorcx has some good drifting video's, if you like techno of course, I actually bought myself a AR Drone instead of a new nitro buggy, but it had a defective shaft so I have to get it replaced. Sure is a hell of a fun way to see the neighborhood! Plus I've seen mods where you can mod it with your DX6i and fly it with that and still have video from your phone or ipod, I'm thinking about possible future mods  :x

sorry i havnt replyed on this subject internet was out. it is my opinion that this is the best motor sport around because its not about beating your opponent to the finish line, its about mirroring your opponent moves and staying as close as possible to him its also about the beauty of it. rally racing is cool as a matter of fact drifting takes somethings from rally racing, but deep down its not about beating your opponent to the finish line. thats one of the reasons i didnt like the movie FnF tokyo drift, because they made it out like that in the race scenes.

Rally drivers are the best in the world, imo.

Drifting -1

Does it take skill, sure. Does it even come close to Ralley, F1 or Touring cars?  Nope!

Rally + drifting.  :aok
