Street drifting is a horrible idea for almsot anyone looking to have some fun in this day and age. What makes street drifting even worse is when you are prone to understeer like this Nissan 240sx in the video above. Keep it on the track or at least practice in a big parking lot before getting crazy with some daytime street drifting.
Here is a three and a half minute video from Maiham-Media taking you around the Japanese street drift scene. This is quite a different street night scene from the BMW M5 street attack video we saw earlier this week. On top of it all this is some of the best shot night street drifting we have seen in some time. Sit back and enjoy a few minutes from the underworld of the Japanese industrial streets.
We have all watched tons of street drifting videos on the Internet but this BMW M5 might take the cake for crazy street drifting endeavors. Whipping his M5 into traffic, against traffic, and with people walking down the street just seems quite insane. You certainly aren’t getting away with this in Los Angeles, California in 2012. The whole video seems to be prompting some Needfordrive website/social network.
The S13 piloted by one of the most famous Team Burst members Naoki Nakamura was arrested for street drifting just north of Osaka, Japan in Minou. While Nakamura is famous for his Team Burst S13 he also drives the KoyoRad S15 in the D1GP Japan series. Over this past weekend he was arrested by Japanese authorities for street drifting. No word on what his exact legal troubles or charges will be but told 500,000 yen fine (just over $6,000 US) and a two year drivers license suspension. We will try to keep you updated on this story as more information becomes available.

Risky Devil Street Drifting in Chicago
A quick film from Will Roegge highlighting the midwest local crew Risky Devil sliding around the city of Chicago. An amazing quality for a street drifting film which is not very common for non track activities. While it’s a quick one falling around the 90 second mark it will have you hooked.

I think it’s always really cool when a place you drift in video games can be seen in real life with Drifting action. We found some videos from Hakone which is a track featured in the Initial D video game. We even manged to find a daytime and night video piece for you guys to enjoy.
