  1. The talk of the town!
  2. The only front-wheel-drive drifter we found at the student drift contest competes in both dirt trials and drifting! Judging covered turns 1 through 4, and this Mirage stood out. Alongside the rear-wheel-drive cars, it charged into turn 1 and held a proper drift from entry to exit—impressive! It drifted through the S-bend section too.

  3. Efunori [front-wheel-drive drifting]
  4. Front-wheel-drive drift community
