Richard Hammond vs The Drift at Ladoux — The Michelin Test Center

so I decided when we started making grandpa that I had to go out and change that and learn how to do it properly one option would be to go to a supermarket car park on a Saturday night but instead I came here to France there are several reasons why I'm here first they have the space 27 miles of test tracks and skidpad second if you want to understand drifting you have to understand tires and this place is a tire temple and most important if you want to know about tires you have to know how to drink and that is where this chap comes in [Music] name is Jerome handler and he missions key target the VSWR and began rubber compound runs in his late is n marker of grim and comes with Honda a breaking and I am to being hidden in pupil follows with in Marseilles because when we evaluate tire performances especially we need to evaluate the performance not before the limit or on the limit like in vessel but overall the real this is what he mean by over them in the uses hard to kick the back of the car as a line and then a delicate balance of racketeering to keep it there your steering wheel technique is amazing I believe love is a customer and if you work a lot with regard you have nothing to lose we can do more with one object failure you're steering the car with your rifle Joana she's brilliant that I learn how to do this because you read those lists on the internet of things that women appreciate in a man don't you and there's always honesty integrity loyalty fidelity drifting the way there on that no it was time for me to begin my lesson you kindly brought for this is more more what more closely with doing what you wanna say so here we go Woking oversteer coming off and then feeding snow and then going round in a small circle my challenge was to drift the car for one complete lap dad pull up here these girls can come to us captain Oh fun oh bugger soon the constant spinning started to have an effect on my teacher hope the gas we I thought this would be sorry okay so supposed to take your air fresh air yes well I will be doing it in the minute this going badly while Jarreau went off to say hello to his breakfast I can be plugging away empowerment in kefir immediately the whole day and see it started to click what I am doing is drifting they're just annoying now oh yeah yeah I'll connect to the theory will not leave the whole thing clearly it's not reacting to its life this is deliberately provoking it and keeping it right on the point are you French Preston scheme struggling to you you'll be oppressive and you want so we have needed be progressed to the next level just before stars your um are you going to make this look really annoyingly easy yeah you are [Music] difficult transition twisting the car one way and then we get it right and it almost [Music] that is beautiful for that - that seamless which God me who be sensible oh wait wait quick vomit BMW no reusing their car I don't think okay thank you [Music] that was the partnership by the end of the state I thought it'd be fun I've become for the first time at swiping
