| You can find this video at this site http://ffsa.turbo.m6.fr/multimedia.php?theme=&debut=10 then click the video named "La compile du Championnat Asphalte" Please watch the whole video before making a judgement (~18 min); also they're all driving on asphalt. The video is in French (French Rally Championship I believe). Lots of sweet shots of AWDs in this clip, but... Keep ur eye on the white car, It's a Peugeot 306 Maxi driven by Jean Marie Cuoq; the car is an FF, 275hp and weighs 2116 lbs. Seeing as how they often have the camera on this car, he must be PRETTY good (I can't speak French though) Enjoy! |

| i didnt see any FF's drifts, what i saw was some nice ass drags that looked like drifts. nice vid though |

| Have to agree, no drifting here. Its possible to get an FF car to slide round a bend, and maybe to drift a couple of bends, but thats not really what its for and I expect it would be more luck than judgement. The only way I can see a 2nd bend ever being linked is with a feint motion type action after sliding out in the first bend. You wont keep it going though. |

A lot of rally cars have a system where if you pull the e-brake, it disengages the AWD and turns it into a FWD car. It's to pull the cars through hairpin turns like in that video. |
