Must-Watch Video: Masterful Drifting on a Cliffside Mountain Road

This driver's-eye view of a manic drift run will get your heart racing

Professional drifter Fredric Aasbo knows what he’s doing. He can pirouette his 800-horsepower, 2JZ-powered Toyota 86-X (what we call the Scion FR-S) like a ballerina, balancing the high-power, low-traction rocket on a knife’s edge at the bare brink of disaster.


As if that wasn’t exciting enough, here he’s doing it on a cliffside road high in the Norwegian mountains.


As if that wasn’t exciting enough, here he does it wearing a helmet-mounted GoPro camera.







Just watching his hands fly from steering wheel to e-brake to shifter. Look how he flicks the wheel from lock to lock, dialing in just the right amount of countersteer to keep his lurid, ass-first slide from turning into a spin or a spill.


It’s mesmerizing. It’s fast. And it’s just a little bit terrifying.
