That link describes the video as:
"heres a clip of my brother's friend drifting.

the girl screaming is the owner, and she can drift the car no problem. the driver e-braked it instead of clutching."

He later posted:
"according to the owner, the car flipped over. i did the frame by frame thing also and didn't think that it did. but closer inspection has the camera pointing down to the ground (probably from her running to her car), which may give the allusion that it is falling down. i don't know the person, but i'll take my brother's word for it."

Sheesh.

I thought it flipped because when it was coming back toward the ground it was still on it's side and with the direction and speed of travel all it had to do was touch the ground on its edge. Simple physics my friends. :0

PS: I'm so full of shit!

You know why? The girl is probably smart enough not to drift so close to curbs! It's not that the guy sucks at drifting and the girl can drift better than him, it's that he chose the wrong line at the wrong time and the girl is probably more cautious.

At least that explains why the girl screams and freaks out so much. I'd do the same... well I'd probably just go into shock for a minute.

1. This isn't Japan.
2. A good 90% of "drifters" in the US suck, and shouldn't attempt this sort of thing on the street (hense the reason for the newly sanctioned drifting events).



Great vid though. "OOHHHHHHH SHIIIIT!!!!" Judging by the way she screams, you'd think some psychopath with a chainsaw was coming after her.
