This surely took several takes but it's impressive none the less.

His skills are amazing, BUT I think professional rally racers have more skills than him, their precision means going at 100km/h+ on dirt / snowy roads only wide enough to fit one car. I have respect for Ken either way though, impressing driving in that vid.

It may have been posted here before but I've seen it on several other forums as well a few months ago. I have seen two of them and he also made an appearance on Top Gear.

With enough power it can be done and he's also got the traction to get through gravel, mud, snow, etc.

I'm not up on this car's set up, but most heavily tweaked AWD cars have a selection for output to F/R ratios. I seem to remember a stock capability of 20 F / 80 R max, but I'd have to check.

I've drifted the older base 50/50 WRX. My tires were in need of replacement, so off I went to play Initial D. But of course, nothing even interesting unless maybe you were in the back seat (and drunk, then it might be cool).

This guy is one of the driving gods, but there are many.
