BMW M3 drifting: How to drift

Drifting - refers to a driving technique and to a motor sport where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while preserving vehicle control and a high exit speed.

A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle prior to the corner apex, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa), and the driver is controlling these factors.

As a motor sport, professional drifting competitions are held across the world.

VW Golf VI GTI Review - VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI IS VIRTUALLY HERE

Golf VI has started his engines



Overview
I know that you and your friends are haunted about VW Golf, starting from Golf I and now Golf VI. The future is for VW and Golf lovers. Here you'll see a PressRelease review about Golf VI!

History of Golf
Ahead of the UK launch of the new Golf GTI on May 22, Volkswagen has constructed a Scalextric track on an epic scale inside a hangar to lend armchair (or office chair) enthusiasts the chance to race the new hot hatch online and against the clock.

About Models
The track is the work of a team of 60 modellers and features over 200 scale buildings in a space occuping 25ft by 30ft.

New GTI Project
It forms the basis for the ‘GTI Project’, a new online game through which you can control the 1:43 scale Golf GTI as it negotiates the hairpins, straights and narrow bridges that make up the track. There’s no need to spend hours setting it up on the living room floor, no potential damage to furniture (and family pets) should you crash at high speed.



Simply log onto the GTI Project website and you’ll be guided to the virtual workshops of the GTI Project and the track itself.

As with the real thing, too much enthusiasm leads to crashes and lost time. A delicate approach and a little perseverance lead to quick times and your chance to appear on the online global leader board, possibly resulting in universal acclaim from friends and colleagues.

Along the way you can learn more about the new Golf GTI, from its new 2.0-litre TSI engine to the advanced six-speed DSG gearbox, colours, trims and performance information. In addition you can order a brochure or even book a test drive.

Set a particularly quick time and you’ll be entered into the prize draw to stand the chance of winning the opportunity to drive a new Golf GTI for three months.

The order books are now open for the full-scale Golf GTI. Prices for the three-door model start at £22,410 and rise to £22,995 for the five-door model. More information on the new Golf GTI can be found at www.volkswagen.co.uk or at any Volkswagen Retailer.

Golf VI Technical Specifications:
In the dynamics of the car contributes the new and decisive DCC Adaptive Chassis Control. In a simple push of a button the car goes from “Normal” mode to “Comfort” mode or “Sport” mode depending of the rolling surface.

When we give her a little more gas on the highway the car sense it, like it communicates whit us, and carry us very smooth. In the end, the new Golf VI responds exactly to our wishes, and give us the same trill that the manufacturer accustomed us whit the previous series.

Five stars for Golf 6 certification at Top EuroNCAP for protection systems. Impact test at EuroNCAP subdued the new Golf VI to a rigorous series of test. The outcome was fantastic, 5 stars, and best result in comparation with direct competition. The safety of the new Golf VI was proven in the most recent test at EuroNCAP: a fantastic result of 36 points out of 37 possible and a five star protection for passengers.

Four stars for children protection with a total of 41 points, and three star for pedestrian protection, this option boost Golf VI to the top of pedestrian protection available at this moment.

Infiniti EX37

The Infiniti EX37 is likely to be one of the most talked about new models launched in 2008. Powered by a new 3.7-litre version VQ family of petrol engines, EX37 brings together three different elements in one elegantly attractive package.

Its distinctive coupe-like styling masks a roomy cabin with electric fold down rear seats to extend the load bay and turn it into a sports estate. And then there's the raised driving position and four-wheel drive traction of an SUV to consider. It all makes EX perhaps the ultimate Crossover.

Exterior styling

Despite its Crossover status, EX37 has been designed following traditional Coupe lines. That means a stretched wheelbase, long bonnet, short overhangs and a sharply tapering roof line. It is noticeably lower than its key rivals which helps to accentuate its low centre of gravity and lends more credence to its Crossover status.

Although longer than most of its SUV rivals - which benefits interior space - a compact overall shape help give EX37 the best aerodynamic positioning in the sector.

Infinity is made in USA
