Did Richard Hammond REALLY Not Know How To Drift?

In Top Gear he drifted (like when he drove the 918 around Abu Dhabi) with onboard footages, but according to episode 13 of TGT, he never knew how. Seems a bit odd that they did that.

He said he knew how to control basic oversteer, just not hold a drift for extended periods of time.

it was a joke dude…..Hammond knows very well how to drift. Drifting is not something u learn in an hour, it takes months. Like Clarkson said that it took him 10 years to learn to drift like a PRO.

I’m pretty sure that was on top gear us, in a challenge where Tanner was challenged by the other two to drift things like commercial vans (ice cream, burgers, the like), buses, and other huge vehicles but it might have been done on uk also

Well. They are very good at editing, someone spotted a while ago that sometimes the driving did not match up with what the driver was doing with the steering wheel and you can never recognize who is behind the wheel on the exterior shots
