It would appear the end game here is to crash into something or someone at all costs, not so much about the “drifting”. I tend to think Americans do some pretty stupid shit but this makes me believe we’ve given up the title…at least for now. ---

Do they just get so bored with life? Like I don’t think many have to really work, like they get money because of the oil, without doing anything? ---

it is suggested that something went wrong here… i think a better way to describe it is that what happened is exactly what you would expect to happen other than the lack of loss of life. ---

Professional drifting may require more skill but I enjoy watching this more. ---

> **[Tafheet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafheet)** > > Arab Drifting, Saudi Drifting, or Middle East drifting, known in Arab countries as Tafheet (تفحيط), or Hajwalah (هجولة), is an illegal street racing-like phenomenon believed to have started in the late 1970s that involves trying to "drift" cars; to drive cars that are generally non-modified factory-setup rental cars at very high speeds, around 160–260 km/h (100–160 mph), across wide highways throwing the car left and right. In the process, racers often drive dangerously close to traffic, barriers... i guess we’ll never really understand why these guys do this… they just do. why dont they at least wear a seatbelt.
