Drift

What's it?
Technique of cornering

and type of Motorsport, characterized by cornering with deliberate failure of the rear axle and the passage in a controlled drift to the maximum possible to hold on the track speed angle. In most cases, the use of such skidding is not the fastest way of cornering, but very spectacular and spectacular, so competitions in this type of Motorsport always attract a lot of spectators. According to the rules, only rear-wheel drive cars should participate in drifting competitions. Competitions should be held on asphalt.

How was it born?
Initially, this sport originated in

Japan, and later became widespread in other countries. There are two types of races: single and pair. The winner is usually determined in several races. In single races judges charge the rider a certain number of points, depending on the speed, angle of drift and style. In doubles event the first party kicks off and right behind him will start the second party. The winner is the one who first came to the finish line, or the difference in time when crossing the finish line. For example, if the second rider managed to stay on the tail of the first, he is considered the winner. In the second race the rules are the same, but the opponents change places. Such races are often held on the highway Del Dios in California, and on mount Haruna, located on the island of Honshu in Japan.

Who created it?
Street racer Keiichi Tsuchiya (jap. 土屋 圭市?) (RUS

Кэйити Цутия) was so fascinated by Takahashi Kunimitsu's technique that he began to practice "drifting" in the streets and quickly gained fame among the so-called "hashiriya" (racers, including street racers) .

Russia
Provides the only professional competition in Russia under the auspices

of the RAF.In turn, it is divided into four full-fledged sub series: RDS-West, RDS-East,RDS-South and RDS-North, divorced in different regions of the country.

Car for drifting
It is logical to assume that

all Toyota AE86 was not enough, and even if enough, I wanted alternatives. And there were plenty of them. Classic drift cars are Nissan 180SX, Nissan Silvia, Nissan Skyline, Nissan 200SX, Nissan... But quite Nissan! Still fit Toyota Chaser, Toyota Mark II, Toyota Soarer (and Lexus SC400, respectively, as without their wonderful four-liter 1UZ-FE), Toyota Supra, Toyota Altezza (and Lexus IS), and even Mazda MX-5, Mazda RX-7, Mazda RX-8, Honda S2000 and some others.

Arkady Tsaregradtsev
If you ever hear that voice, you will never

forget it. Arkady, perhaps, best of all in Russia is able to combine the career of a racer and a leading video blog on YouTube. His show can easily be found on request #ОДЕРЖИМЫЕ. An unusual way of presenting information, which is always reliable, as comes from one of the best drifters in Russia, always interesting cars and excellent operator work, for which Anatoly Zarubin deserves special praise. If the Russian Top gear was created on the basis of video bloggers, Arkady certainly had to be in it. If not as one of the presenters, then in the role of the Stig for sure. By the way, Arkady is not only a drifter, but also successfully rides in ring races on Honda Civic of the last generation, made in the Estonian company Artman Racing, and Seat Leon Supercopa, which was prepared in the Spanish Department of Seat Sport. Also in his garage there is a charged Mazda RX-7, on which he now and then sets records for the passage of the circle on the Red Ring, as well as offers all interested owners of Evo and STI to challenge the title of the fastest Japanese ring in Krasnoyarsk. In addition to the path of the rider, Arkady acts as a Manager on the very Red Ring and successfully combines the cockpit of his Nissan and the Director's office of the race track.
