Was just sent this video of British BTCC driver and Fifth Gear TV presenter, Jason Plato, recovering from what looked like an imminent spin at Brands Hatch. Check out how Jonathan Adams in the BMW 3-series hits Jason, throwing him sideway in his front-wheel-drive Chevy Lacetti. He gets hard on the power and winds on opposite lock to get the car back in line from the 90º slide. Pretty insane, and I thought quite appropriate for the drift month we are having here at Speedhunters!

I watched that race on tv and I must say that moment was one of the highlights for me.
Hopefully some snappers caught the sideways action, I think it would make an ace photo.
That was awesome. Guess all the time he drifted cars in 5th Gear did pay off...
Who said front wheel drive cars couldn't drift??
also dont forget, he hadn't even sat in the car until the day before!
wows, that is some control!
That is just F*****N Amazing!
I hate to break it to you, but that is kind of old news...
Dont drift while racing. It will cause you your position. LOL.
ps-Why did he locked the brake before that?
that shit is hard...
isn't every month on speedhunters drift month?
..yes, it appears to be going this way.
If u look carefully, there is VERY LITTLE opposite lock
tis- nature of that car, he (and others) did it on lots of laps, I assume its because the track falls away
