SLIDING IN

On a hot, sunny weekend, we get a taste of what it's like to bake delicious donuts on a drift-spec racecar

When I sat shotgun in Mudit Grover's stripped-down drift-spec BMW E46, and as a force of habit, I tried to reach out for the seat belt, and Mudit goes, This has no seatbelts!'. I sheepishly smiled back at him and started thanking my medical insurance agent, who sent me countless reminders to renew it. And Mudit floored the BMW out on the drift track, meanwhile, I am bracing for my dear life. Within seconds, the Beemer was dancing to Mudit's tune as it carried fast drifts from one corner to another. It was absolutely sensational to witness Mudit drift with such finesse. All this while, I had only watched people do crazy drifts on TV, and now to get a chance to experience it first-hand was beyond special.
