Re: Drift overtaking with Mercedes C63
OMG, changes his mind to turn right, thanks the guy kindly for letting him in, then proceeds to jank to the left to enable the 90 degree right turn in full drift. I bet the guy in the tram had a moment as the C63 was coming sideways towards him there haha.

The question is if the drift was intentional or not. I rather think it wasn't and the guy was lucky he didn't hit the tram.
Drifting with the C63 is fun but not on a public street. It would be enough if the pavement is slippery, adding momentum to the whole drift and making it impossible to control instantly.
My take on this video: The driver was lucky like hell (and the other drivers/pedestrians around him too 
).

Re: Drift overtaking with Mercedes C63
Porker:
That drift seems 100% intentional to me?
It is extremely easy to drift in the C63 and most people are doing it unintentionally. You can't even drive a curve with more than 20-30% throttle action without drifting if the ESP Sport Handling Mode is turned on or if ESP is turned off completely. Maybe I am just too cautious on public streets and I can't imagine someone would be that dumb to do that on a public street but I still think this wasn't intentional and he applied too much throttle.
Btw: What looks like opening up for a drift angle is actually avoiding the car next to you...in Eastern Europe. You always expect the worse.

Re: Drift overtaking with Mercedes C63
Atzporsche:
Yes definitely looks intentional, he janks the steering wheel hard to the left just before turning right and he just slams it..
Because this is what you do in Eastern Europe since he overtook the car turning to the right very fast and he was afraid the car on the right would actually take it to the left afterwards. This is kind of an East European thingie, you leave enough room for possible surprises from other drivers...

Re: Drift overtaking with Mercedes C63
Atzporsche:
oooh I see what you mean... I think also, the driver knew the road and that the street he turned on to was a two lane...
If the rear stepped out to his surprise he did very well to control it and still proceed to complete his turn without damages
The C63 is easy to control, especially if you drive with it for a while but you really can't drive this car fast without the tail moving in a very extreme way...unless you leave ESP turned on.
