How to NOT drive a Maxima around a track

This is not the fastest way around a race track but probably very fun.

Video link is at the top and pics are near the bottom of the page.

Well that is without question the most graceful turn-in and exit of a bend I've ever seen.

I see someone else compared the two....I wonder if it is the same car (anybody try to compare plates?) It's true, in the video he is not using the brakes. I give him kudos. He entered that turn at a pretty high speed and he counter-steered in time to avoid the car spinning on him.... way to drive that baby.....KUDOS!!

That whole thing was done on purpose, he's trying to do "drifting" not really possible in a FWD car.

The pictures and video were taken at different times, notice his position on the track.

As for flipping, you're not going to flip your car doing that, you'd have to go off into the dirt and dig a wheel into the groud.

Bet ya it was a rental!
