I’m sure drifting is difficult and requires a lot of practice, but in my
book it’s still somewhat of a gimmick. It’s not >about performance; it’s
about the show. A good show, but a show.
It obviously is all about the show and definitely not the fastest way to get
abound a corner but, I look at his car control as almost an art - to be able
to precisely place the vehicle within a few inches of where he wants it to
be and still have control is awesome.
BTW the tires he used were Pirelli Trofeo 'R' tires - essentially race tires
legal for street use and used by alot of guys who track their car.

I suspect the tires were changed at least once, perhaps right after the
garage scene. But those are tires designed for drifiting, not race tires,
and I believe they’re somewhat hard and rugged. Grippy race tires would
probably make those maneuvers more difficult. I’m sure drifting is

There's no way that he ran that entire video on one set of tires - and
they were probably race tires.
A phenominal exhibition of car control even if he did practice
beforehand.

He ruined his tires before he left the garage, so after that it was
understandable that he had a hard time keeping it hooked up. :-). Fun
but more gimmick than performance, more show than go.
