I think what most of you people haven't realised is that the car is a driving school car (probably race driving). Not even the slightest grasp of the French language on this forum, ts ts ts...
Anyway, that probably means that there were two different people driving, i.e. a pupil when the crash happened. It does look like a mechanical failure to some extend, but the approach to the corner doesn't look the same style as the driving in the first bit...

well that's unfortunate
That is so unfortunate the Evo couldn't follow the porche on that particular turn!
The drifting is nice and all but those porche cars hug those turns so lightly~~~

Drifting an AWD car has an advantage over RWD drifting; you don't have to rely on countersteer so much since you have the front wheels pulling you out of the turn. When you watch how he straightens the car out past the corner, he does it really smoothly without any jerking; perfect countersteer and throttle input...that takes a long time to learn when drifting on RWD with each scenario involved in a corner. If its electronics or pure skill I don't know. Hes probably a better driver then most of us though.

Go here http://download.com.com/3000-2194-10...html?part=divx and get version 5.01 of DIVX. Make sure you install it .
Also make sure you have at least DirectX 7 installed(preferably 8.1).

Drift
Those drifts were done very well. The last corner he went in to close and with to much speed. Otherwise it looked like great fun, thats gonna be me in a few years, minus the crash

Hey French is an official language for some of us here you know? We're just slow to respond!
Hmm... do RS's have ABS? Looks like maybe they locked them up as there was smoke from the car approaching the apex. Perhaps they collected a cone but it's somewhat hard to see from that video.
That is so sad though.

First of all, I too have to complement the guy on his drivning skills. that was a very sad sight however, seeing such a great car be put to an early death. but it was a great video untill he crashed .(im an optimist )
anyway, was he running with the porche's? I only saw what looked like an elise head to head with him.

I read in another forum that the girl at the end was indeed the one that crashed the car. She is actually the doughter of the crazy driver who was drifting before....
Bloody women hey!!

OH MY GOD!!! We was taking those turns like a pro,..... only problem with racing, one little mistake ruins all the hard work..... Is the guy ok? I know there is a roll cage, but that was a really brutal crash. Hopefully I hope he gets better and learns to drive a little better, maybe see him on WRC sometime
