Since Walter Röhrl we know: Drifting is the true art of vehicle control. With burned tire rubber thick as a thumb and extreme drift angles the drifting scene has been impressing the motorsport world for years. With the BILSTEIN drifters, we are now sending our own drifting team to the starting line.
