Car vs bike drift battle
Think drifting is only done on four wheels? Think again...If you thought that drifting was a sport populated solely by four-wheeled vehicles, you may need to take a seat. The land of the drift king is also becoming popular among motorcyclists, and the video below is a fine example.
Drifting -- the act of spinning the rear wheel(s) while cornering to initiate power oversteer and create loads of tyre smoke in the process -- is not easily done with grace, but Nick 'Apex' Brocha and Jim Guthrie put on an impressive show at the Sandia Motorsports Park in New Mexico, US, vieing head-to-head on track for the first time.
The car in question is a modified Mazda RX-7 powered by a Corvette V8, while the bike is a modified Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, featuring a stretched swing arm for greater control and more 'artistic navigation', as Brocha puts it.
The high speed drift battle doesn't disappoint, with heaps of slow motion sequences as two- and four-wheels battle for dominance in this spectacular motorsport.
