Fredrik's DRIFT

Fredrik's DRIFT.
#Drift #Toyota #Nurburgring
Drift by guy from Norway - Fredrik Sorlie in Nurburgring.
Fredrik Sorlie FAQ for commenters/trolls:
Q: Isn't drifting the Nordschleife against the rules?
A: Yes and no. It's technically a single file, one way autobahn. Drifting is not forbidden per se, but in the event of a crash you would probably get in trouble with the police for reckless driving. Just like any other maniac out there would - drifting ot not...
EDIT: It actually says "no drifting" in the rules for driving on the ring. All I can say is that they don't seem to care as long as you're not a complete idiot :)
Q: Did you get banned?
A: No, not even a warning. The marshalls did not seem bothered. However, I made sure to do several normal laps first so that they knew I was not some idiot going crazy and out of control on my first lap. I'm pretty sure they are experienced enough to tell the difference between a reckless idiot and, well, me...
Q: How many drivers did you hold up with your sideways antics?
A: None. The track was almost empty. It was the end of a quiet sunday, the lap was still 8:30-40 BTG and I have mirrors...
Q: What if you had made a mistake? You could have killed someone!
A: That would have to be a huge mistake, but sure, accidents do happen. That's why I made sure to abort a drift if I got close to other cars, as well as stayed well within the margins of what I am comfortable with. Keep in mind, I spend all summer doing 110mph reverse entries in this car. I can handle a little skid in third gear without killing anyone.
Now, go watch the video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Drifting the ring at speed with no cage. Very impressed. Absolute talent.

This viking drives like samurai

[@ThomasEdits]

x x samurais dont drive good.

[@gerijokub7737]

Thomas Nygård, erhh? This entire sport was invented by these "samurais", what are you on about? Go check some D1 events in Japan and tell me they don't drive good.

[@jimhaglund597]

bring these samurais to the ring and see what they say about drifting it...

[@ToreDL87]

@@jimhaglund597 They've been at the ring, and drifted there, in the prototypes of the cars that are commonly used for drifting today. In b4 it was cool :)

[@bsmaster3593]

You click a video that says "Drift". Then you watch a guy that with a car is more precise than a surgeon with a scalpel. It was done on a track. Not to mention the coolness of the car itself. How the fuck can you thumb down this? Even my 93 years old grandmother would approve.

[@zdruh1]

+Bs Master i didnt like the way he claimed the track for himself. there were other drivers who payed to drive on the nordschleife and couldnt pass him and i saw oportunities to let them pass but he just didnt let them.. thats selfish.. i do like drifting and yes guy is good.. but i didnt like his attitude on the road

[@markuscb220]

+žan razdrih guys who drove behind him wanted to drive behind him

[@78matt]

why go to a track if you're not going to try and go fast. Just ruins the experience for everyone else.

[@ToreDL87]

*Had to repost, saw now that things were left out 8 months ago* Firstly, Fredrik sure as hell doesnt need me to defend him, and sure enough, can`t please everyone. I just think facts and the way I see things is worth mashing the buttons. Anybody is free to research the circumstances, they`ll see that this was a calm day at the ring, not much traffic to speak of. Furthermore, Fredrik has background from Formula Ford (and notably won at Silverstone 1996, also with shitty tires) and a plethora of other motorsports disciplines. He let everyone pass (he has mirrors..), those still behind was a friend of his (The ZM3) and a spectator or two. And although this Cressida is of comparably crude construction when put side to side with modern production cars, he was still below 9:00 BTG on his drifting laps... chew on that, that`s faster than most of the drivers there that day, or any day. Also he did 8:29 when really gunning for the clock (shitty tires.) In addition, most of today`s drivers (not all, of course) with cars equipped with independent rear suspension and limited slip rear differentials, seem to just jam the gear stick around, to hell with synchro`s.. or matching drivetrain revs and engine rpm`s to sustain progressive weight shift.. or control engine braking... (heel & toe downshift) then they wonder why they lose traction... Yet here we see proper use of e-brake and heel & toe supplementing excellent drifts (for as long as loss of traction can be sustained) with no big corrections and not holding anybody up... In a Cressida.. So if people don`t understand, and even go as far as disliking what they don`t understand, I think going so completely way out of their reach about it might not be a good idea for them either :)

[@romchompa6858]

their fault for being shitty drivers.

[@yimamura]

YES!!! This IS the kind of drift everyone wanted to see at such a place with such a car!!!

[@myketrip8938]

This dude has the sickest flow of any drifter on that track I have ever seen! Very much respect! :)

[@tracypanavia4634]

Probably just found the best Nurburgring movie going.

@@festungkurland9804 I know...nothing lasts long when living next to the sea Yes my parents loved the car,i learnt to drive in it...fantastic engine but the body after 12 years was almost gone,a guy bought it lasted him 1 year and he scrapped it. Bumpers had rusted off..nothing to screw them back onto,tied on with string Headlight surrounds the same,the chrome surrounds came away Sills were eaten through,doors the same Repair bills always very high as car came out in 1977,so not many in Scotland

the bike at 1:25, where does it go? the real ghost rider..? :S chills!

Same shortcut as most bikers when they enter too tight/fast into Adenauer Forst :P

[@Pedrito2403]

Really youtube, all my life watching drift, and you recommend me this video 6 years later

Pd: this guy is an absolute beast, entries at 110mph, you have my respect

[@beer1for2break3fast4]

Impressive skills. How long do tires last doing that?

[@griogairmalcolm10]

omg hes made that 78 toyota look amazing and drifted sick on the nurhinburg track nice one dude :D

[@VenEm]

just saw you on another vid on the nurburgring crash channel doing some awesome drifts.

[@rowdogg2006]

Wicked drifting! Question: Was it just me or did a bike go off the side of the track in front of you at 1:25?

[@1994clue]

@RowdoggNZ: No, looks like it's a coincidence. The corner in that moment is the Adenauer Forst, a really difficult corner on the track. The bike past the time point to drive thru the corners, so he decided to drive ahead, over the curbs and the lawn, that's my consideration.

[@williammcdorman6426]

very impressive, lol.

[@ErikThePieMan]

That is fearless. Drifting on the burger ring there is no margin for error at all.

[@satellite20112010]

Looks so fascinatingly

[@DrInsane76]

Just awesome! So hard to do this on track and not go out one time. :-D

[@iglooproductions]

In 99 I had a 89 Cressida, mine had the rectangle headlights.

[@MadMole]

Stunning skills!!

[@abymondesir23]

very unique and tastefully done car. honestly this older cressida looks way better than the newer modern one

[@iglooproductions]

There’s no modern one, they stopped making them in 92.

[@chocolate_supra]

@@iglooproductions they didn't, actually. They just stopped importing them to the States. The Cressida is actually a rebadged Toyota Mark II, which definitely continued its run in Japan past 92 and into the 2000s, even eventually gaining a JZ powertrain while the ones we had in the States ended with the 7M. You might also be aware of the sport version of the Mark II: the Toyota Chaser. The newer models pop up at drift events quite a bit.

[@TheUnlocked16]

Nostalgia

[@BorisMitendorfer]

Very good drifts!

[@malacai3992]
