Kei Car Drifting

The increasingly serious sport of drifting is most often associated with well-endowed rear-wheel drive behemoths, but these two in their Subaru Rex kei micro cars demonstrate that diminutive size and meagre power output do not negate drifting prowess. It would appear that all you need to master the art of hanging the back end out is 58ps (allbeit supercharged) and liberal application of the handbrake. Needless to say these two Subarus have been modified to better suit them to their raison d'etre, with a motorbike based oil cooler and special radiator preventing excessive overheating, and smaller, narrower wheels on the rear creating the necessary disparity in grip between front and back. It certainly adds a little comedy value to the traditionally competitive and deadpan drifting mix.
