We’ve got a big week of Speedhunting ahead, but before we get stuck into that, let’s take a quick look back at some of our favourite videos from around the web over the past fortnight…
World Rally Championship driver Andreas Mikkelsen, downhill ski specialist Aksel Lund Svindal, and the Volkswagen Polo R WRC are the stars of this new clip from Red Bull. Filmed in the Southwest of Norway, watch as Mikkelsen four-wheel drifts his VW down an incredible snow-capped mountain road in order to catch a departing ferry.
Dino has brought us plenty of coverage from the 2015 Offset Kings Japan showcase over the last few weeks, but now it’s Fatlace’s turn with the official event video, produced in association with Illest and Formula Drift Asia. If you like low cars, you’ll like this! Warning: this video’s soundtrack contains offensive language.
Stock standard 700hp Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 versus stock standard 610hp Lamborghini Huracan LP610-4 – which will be quicker over the standing quarter mile? Place your bets, then watch this clip from the guys at DragTimes.com
If there’s one thing that Gatebil Rudskogen doesn’t lack, it’s excitement. And there’s no better place to taste the action (literally) from, than the pit lane wall, where high speed dirt drops are the norm. This is a short clip, but it gives you a good idea of what it’s like to stand in this precarious position…
Last but not least we have another Red Bull video – this time the full TV episode of the 2015 Mint 400 off-road race, which Larry captured beautifully in still-photo form, earlier in the year. If 850hp trucks ripping up the dirt at speeds close to 140mph (225km/h) sounds like your idea of a good time, then this is going to be worth a watch!
