Wow.....Jay Levan drives JUST like that (but at slower speeds due to Ocala's track size). Seriously, I was watching and was like 'OMFG! It's JAY!!!'

Props to this driver though.

shhhhh.....Secret to Drifting----> Do not fight the car, control it.

I was talking about the style. Also, at the last official DDAY, Jay had some serious angles that I have yet to see since. Jay's hand movements are almost exactly like the ones in the video. The jerking and releasing while the car 'does it's thing'. I was amazed the first time I saw it in person. I suggest you ask him for a ride, you'll learn alot, I did.

It was a love, an intrest, not something for them to out best someone else or to prove anything.

I feel the same way about drifting.
or maybe because you're not very good?

Not at all.

I dont feel the need to prove anything to anyone. If you love something and enjoy it as such, you do it for YOU and the pleasure you get out of it. Not to best anyone or make youre self look better than anyone else.

Thats how I see at least.

BWT, were going to dance next weekend. Come show us how good YOU are Laurentz.

jay is very good, very extreme angles, but it still doesnt compare to the pros, your talking, entry speeds they can achieve much higher in the same turns, start their drifts much earlier and smooth as shit on their straight away drifts

im sorry but that video doesnt look like jay drifting at all, you cant compare drifting a corolla to drifting a 240, in which a 240 requires less feedback and is slower rotating, and ive riden with jay a few times. if u watch jay wheel, its very light feed back and not nearly as fast on the rotation, which is why 240s have always been the more popular car bc of how much more user friendly they are.

its hard for 240 guys to get into a corolla and have a feel for it, you can ask rob, i let him drive my white car once at the old drift spot and he was just like "that was a hand full"
