From a racers perspective..


.. This movie has horrible car chases, just downright dreadful.

Drifting is far from the fastest way of taking a turn. Going as fast as possible through the apex without losing traction is the best way.

I get that the movie is called Tokyo Drift, that their competitions are about respect as well and that a few of the U-turns warrant a slide, but chases in life or death situations should be done with the fastest way of racing possible.

EDIT: Of course very few racing movies and I really mean VERY few, maybe less than 5, stick to how you actually race in real life. This is the worst though.

The above links illustrate how to actually race. This is how it is done, always!
