I’m guessing he didn’t get a 10 from the judges, or a request for “one more time?” 😛 I think the guys putting on these drifting events need to do more research into proper course design. They could learn a thing or too from the autocross crowd in that regard. They should probably provide more instruction as well. A lot of these drift events people with no car control are just left to their own devices. They should have more experienced guys spend more time with them, especially on a close proximity course like that so that they can pick up brake points and when to start shifting the weight of the car properly. Silly accidents like that are always going to happen unless they start to change things. The driver could have also been killed (The passenger was injured). Here are the guys that put on the event.

WOW people are assholes if i saw a crash like that i would be running to try and help not walking away :tdown: why woudl you enter a turn like that with that much speed? its not some 600hp monster that wil break them loose at your very command. maybe poor instruction or maybe just a ignorant driver that knows it all. how bad was the passanger hurt they hit HARD ---

Cones about a foot from a curb on the outside of a turn, with spectators only a couple feet away, on a course where the object is to get sideways. Hopefully jackasses like these guys don’t ever come around our area. That’s just a bunch of serious accidents waiting to happen and it would only make it that much harded to find new autocross sites. In the eyes of the property owners we’d get lumped in with those morons. ---

Yeah the guy this happened to isn’t allowed to talk to anyone - even online about it for legal reasons… since he had a passanger too. Aparently he clutch-kicked to swing the back end out… and that didn’t work out well :roll2: [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/drifting-gone-wrong/9007.md?page=2)
