We have no idea why someone made this explosion at Palm Beach international Raceway last year, but some guy managed to drift his Lexus right in front it at just the right time. Yes, it is totally awesome.

When the Jeep Grand Cherokee failed the Moose Test, a minor scandal arose. This time, a recreation of the famous Swedish road maneuver trial with a Toyota GT-86/Scion FR-S is actually funny.

Vaughn Gittin, Jr. is a professional drifting champion. The Ford Mustang is a muscle car that is built in Flat Rock, Michigan.

As you already know, drifting is hard. Indeed, let's follow along with the Drift Idiot as sort of learns how to go sideways and breaks his car, spins out, and embarrasses himself in front of pretty ladies along the way.

Will we ever tire of seeing people clown around sideways in a bunch of rear-drive beaters? We don't think so.

Leave it to the Swedes to show how well a couple of big muscle American cars can go drifting.

This is New Zealand's Mad Mike Whiddett in his four-rotor RX-7 unlocking the Super Most Excellent Drifting Achievement: the backwards entry drift. It's like a cloud of furious bees, going backwards.

Great sports photographers will put themselves in harm's way to get the perfect shot, but this amateur shooter at a Polish drift event over the weekend literally and figuratively steps over the line. Let us explain why he's the biggest idiot we've seen behind a camera.

This is the fourth round of the Polish Drift Championship, held over the weekend in Karpacz. Going up public mountain roads, the drifters are inches away from spectators. It's awesome.

This is pro drifter Daigo Saito and his crew at the 2012 Summer Drift Matsuri at Japan's Ebisu Circuit. For practice, they decided to throw some ratty old cars sideways at over 100 miles an hour.

Race cars are built for the track, so it's no surprise that an American Iron Mustang is going to be faster than Vaughn Gittin Jr's drift car. Race cars, though, are always built with restrictions, so how much faster can it be?

At the Lexus Spindle Night in Tokyo earlier this month, Lexus took three LFAs and went to do some synchronized drifting set to music. Now this is some ballet that we can enjoy.

A lot happens behind the walls of smoke that define drifting. Now that it has spread past some Japanese mountains and money is firmly entrenched in the game, what keeps drifters going?

Something really amazing happened this past weekend in the world of auto racing. It's the automotive equivalent of an American walking on the moon. Did we hear about it? Not really.

A couple of car enthusiasts got together in Budapest and wondered how they could get more people to show up at their drift events. "I know!" said one, "We'll block off traffic on a major throughway and drift around a roundabout for a while!"
