Uwe Nittel said his hands and feet were falling asleep at times during his five hours going around in circles.

Five hours? That’s right, a first attempt ended just shy of the record when sensors failed on his Mitsubishi Evo X. Not one to be denied, Nittel jumped back into the car once it was fixed and went back out for the record on a new set of Kumhos.
45.63 km sideways later, Uwe did admit being a tad queasy but presumably, happy.

The record was achieved on an irrigated skid pad at the Sachsenring, Germany.

Wet skid pad or not, that’s pretty cool.

2

it would have to be wet so the tires would last

3

thats a long time to be going sideways. sounds like it would be exhuasting

4

Just thinking about it make me tired, that man love getting sideways

5

How can I get a job like that?..Seriously?

6

lol they should create a new race series 24hrs of la drifting

7

^ That would be gay and dumber than nascar!

8

^ +1 on that haha.

& it’s no fair, the evo is all techno gadgetry and AWD… try that with a nice RWD car without any aids like a Silvia or 180sx.

^^^^ LOL what do u think the skyline is.

and Obiviously it would b gay if u had to drift on a nascar track i thinking like a normal road coarse, and yes i know it would be impossible but the though of a 24hr endurance drift event would be hilarous. lol

10

They have dirt oval where either stock cars, or bikes do the same thing as Nascar, but they drift the turns lol

11

After being finished you’d feel like you’re still sliding… Even just walking around you’d have some sort of mentality like you’re drifting. lol

12

REALLY?!?!?!

13

Yeah, like being on a boat all day, then getting off and still feeling like you are going up and down.
