Who ever decided to enter this car into DRIFTING apparently doesn't know what the characteristics needed are. Drifting does not involve rigid stiff settings as were apparent in the other videos. That person needs to be fired, As well as the driver. If he has ever drifted before, he knows what that car can and can't do. The rear end never gets loose with that setup. WOW that sounded bad.

BUT, the Concrete bumps buldge OUT past the cone base, which allows front tire to collide with it..
Next thing you know, is that your race spec IS-F is airborne..!!!
Track Prepping error in my opinion...!!!

Last time I was at a race meeting I didn't try to run over the cones that blocked an area. He drove straight at them. He had a brain fart and made a mistake.
