Fortunately, it looks like the driver was uninjured in the crash. The accident happened in New Paltz, New York, during a cruise organised by the NY ST club. According to the uploader, the organisation operates a zero tolerance policy toward dangerous driving, and the RS pilot responsible “was immediately booted from our club”.

This isn’t the first Drift Mode crash we’ve seen, and I fear it won’t be the last…

I’ve been going down route 44 and bear mountain every time I go upstate and that hairpin is rough, understeer like crazy or too much lift off oversteer. This sucks, hopefully driver is okay

Let’s see, so they have a zero policy tolerance for dangerous driving, yet “This isn’t the first Drift Mode crash we’ve seen, and I fear it won’t be the last…”? Then why the pluck is it called “DRIFT” Mode? Maybe you should change the name, I think it could be a little misleading and cause someone to, oh I don’t know, dangerously drift!
