Yahoo Autos Drifting Through an Abandoned Soviet Missile Base Requires a Little Rallying
Since the fall of the Soviet Union, many of its Cold War-era military bases have been completely abandoned. Former Soviet republics have no use for them, so they sit empty, slowly falling further into disrepair. They're also the perfect places to shoot awesome drift videos.
Ryan Tuerck, Matt Powers, and Kristaps Bluss recently traveled to one of these abandoned bases in Latvia to have a little fun. With them, they brought a trio of badass drift cars. Tuerck drove an 800-horsepower E92 M3, Powers drove a 950-horsepower, V8-swapped E46 M3, and Bluss rounded things out with a V8-swapped, twin-turbo 350Z making an undisclosed amount of power.
But since the missile base they visited hasn't been used in years, the roads are a far cry from the well-maintained tracks you'd see in a typical drifting event. If you didn't know any better, you might even think this is supposed to be a rally video.
We're not complaining, though. Why shouldn't you mix drifting with a little bit of rallying? Especially when the end result looks this good.
