As we’ve said many times before here on the electronic pages of BangShift, we’ve got all the respect in the world for drift drivers. It isn’t easy, and they make it look like no sweat. Meanwhile inside the cars, those dudes are working the throttle, brakes, and steering like mad men to keep their cars sideways and smoke rolling off the tires. They’re also doing this on a race track where there are safety precautions taken and some ground rules laid out. The guys in this video didn’t get the memo on the talent or race track part of the equation.

The 240 doesn’t drift, instead it plows into the corner like a dump truck and the driver panics, locking the brakes with the wheel cut at full left rudder. The result of all this is that the Nissan makes very hard contact with the curb, absolutely destroying the front suspension. In fact, the thing receives so much trauma, the damed coil spring comes flying out, mid-disaster! You should watch it a couple times to get the full effect of the spring’s hasty escape. It is pretty entertaining.

Long story short, if you want to “drift”, find a race track hosting a drifting event or somewhere that you are (a) not going to kill or main innocent bystanders (b) has no potential for oncoming traffic (c) doesn’t include a buddy with a video camera to make your gaffe the talk of the interwebs!
