I actually met the guy. He drove my dad and I around the bmw test track. Nice guy.

[Larc]

He was one of my instructors at the driving school. We drove on the slick track and it was awesome.

in the end you're just driving in circles bro

[SgtPeper]

Literally world's longest hydroplane.

What an amazing drift on wet tarmac in a pretty sure you could make the car do that by itself after you initiate the drift

[peugeotrus]

I was there! He took me on a ride after everyone left!

[OscarWithC]

Ohh Yeah! In the best drifting car that exists! BMW!

[treyno]

upload your video with your tyres lasting over 50miles then?

[MohitPalan]

I HAVE THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2015 BOOK .... IN THAT BOOK IT IS MENTIONED ABOUT THE BMW CAR ALONG WITH THE PIC OF THE CAR DRIFTING AND THE DISTANCE (51.27 MILES OR 84.13 KM).

How is this comparable to the merc c63 that did a proper high speed dry road drift

[BereanBeliever]

Imagine how dizzy he would be at the end of that...

[IKhanNot]

Man those tires must have been turned to liquid by the end of the drift. Good stuff.

[igor]

I would not agree, because on the wet road it`s easier to loose handling and put the car into drift so you can do it smoothly. On the dry road the grip is harder, so you have to make it more rapidly and use more power (plus clutch or handbrake). Otherwise why they made it wet?

greatest car company on earth hands down

I have been obsessed with drifting since I was around 3 and someone hooked an extra battery to my power wheel. I drive a 1992 geo metro BECAUSE I love drifting, and a rwd with any torque would get me sent to jail. I still cant help pulling the e brake to lock up the back sometimes. I consider what I do in moderate city traffic (in a 24 year old fwd with a mere 55hp!) to be closer to real drifting than this

[BimmerMe]

51 miles without changing tires? How long did this take?

[NitrousXProductions]

do we know how long it took him to drift 51miles? considering it's equivalent to 300laps

[awarshukla]

now i am going to make the world's longest drift record

[nik]

How long do you think the tires will survive on dry ???

[MikeTawk]

this is the record after and official reply from Guinness World Records watch >> World's Longest Vehicle Drift - Abdo Feghali 2013
