Arabic street racing bloopers

We've all seen the videos of them spinning down the roads at 70mph without crashing, until now.

it's not drifting!

drifting is when you're actually in control of the car. these guys just spin out of control and hope for the best. it's not drifting.

it's pure stupidity IMO. a waste of cars, a total lack of care for human life or other's possessions (evidenced by the cars doing this on a PUBLIC road with other motorists driving around, and also the cars spinning out of control into crowds of people and/or other people's cars) and i really doubt it requires much talent to go really fast, yank your e-brake and hope for the best.

entertaining, but not drifting, and these idiots definitley got what was coming to them.

Very true, I have seen real street drifts in Okinawa. Not sanctioned events, just ten or fifteen cars ripping up an idustrial area. Good stuff. To be honest, some times it turned out a little like that video. Still fun to watch.

Re: Arabic street racing bloopers

Are they using their own cars?.....Lord knows I would never do that with my car. What a waste.

I disagree. It's not drifting, but i've seen a lot of these types of clips (not the bloopers) where the drivers show remarkable control of the vehicle. Although i absolutely agree that it's reckless to do this kinda shit on public roads.

Btw, did anyone notice the guy that threw it off the road 3 times?

Re: Arabic street racing bloopers

lol, I just couldn't think of a word to describe it but we can call it skidding or whatever. Eitherway the videos where they don't fuck up are impressive.

And you thought standing on the side of the road at a WRC race was dangerous. Just more proof that safer cars are ruining Darwinism.

And then you have the guy with the SUV.

It rides 14" off the ground.

It has squishy suspension.

It is top heavy as hell.

WTF DID HE THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!

Re: Arabic street racing bloopers

We've seen it before at AF, it never fails to amaze me just how moronic they are. even though for a good part of it, the car control skills are pretty good to a point.

Re: Arabic street racing bloopers

WHAT CAR CONTROL SKILLS?! all i saw was a bunch of idiots going 80+MPH and pulling the ebrake into a crowd of people. . .

the tire falling off was great, and then the guy just kept driving.
