Drifting lessons w/ Professor Tiff

Tiff Needell is a former racing driver and TV show presenter who has taken his time off to teach everyone how to get started with drifting. Don't try this at home, kids. To be honest, don't even try this unless you were actually on a giant vacant lot/airfield.



Don't know what to say about Tiff. He is almost too good of a driver to be a good teacher. Although he is filled w/ words of encouragement, I think he simplifies the complex maneuvers a bit too much. For one thing, Don't try these moves in a transit van. Just look at what Richard Hammond from top gear did when he busted out his Scandinavian flick on his van:



Moral of the story: Things with a high center of gravity, don't drift well. oh, and try to find an empty airfield to practice drifting.
