It's a dragster, not a drift car!
Pure Genius.
I've got to give it to him though, he almost had it. ![]() ![]()

Having played around with dragster dimensioned cars via modding for sims I'm not surprised by that result.
Next he needs to try the Nurburgring. |

He should start with a slalom, skidpad or maybe a couple of autocrosses.

Frankly, he was pretty lucky. It could have been worse.

Gon fix it with me hammer
|
seems a lot of hold my beer is going on
having a dragster with the crazy acceleration in a small arena with people around it to me seems VERY risky.. not wearing any fireproof overall just adds to that..

He needs a lot less traction, and a lot shorter wheelbase, and some brains.

That's about the same wheelbase as a modern F1 car so that should have worked.
