Today,BMW released a video recorded during its record breaking 8 hours M5 drifts. Its driving instructor Johan Schwartz set the original longest drift record back in 2013 in an F10 M5, circling a skidpad for the equivalent of 51.3 miles. But Toyota sent a GT86 spinning for nearly 90 miles in 2014, eventually topping its own record with the lightly-modified 86 last year.

So in December 11 2017, in an attempt to reclaim the title, Schwartz drifted an all-new, F90-generation BMW M5 sedan 232.5 miles around a skid pad at the BMW Performance Center. It took eight hours of continuous drifting to complete, which is almost difficult to comprehend. Just imagine holding a drift in a 600 hp super sedan for the length of your typical work day,

Even more, BMW also broke another world record that day for the world’s longest “Twin-Vehicle Drift” (water-assisted), with two BMW M5s drifting 49.25 miles over the course of an hour. For this, both Schwartz and BMW Performance Center Chief Driving Instructor Matt Mullins drifted new M5s around the skid pad together.

Normally,Guinness World Record rules allow drivers to stop and refuel,but BMW rightly decided that would be boring, unsporting, and not nearly dangerous enough. It also didn't want to modify the new model.

So to refuel during longest sustained drift and set the bar as high as possible, BMW used a spare M5 carrying an extra fuel cell capable of pumping 18 gallons in 50 seconds, a specially-designed hose attachment, and a daring stuntman to lean out the car's back window and physically connect it to the world record attempt car mid-drift.

The car-to-car refueling had to be done 5 separate times throughout the course of the 8-hour, 232.5-mile drift.

You dare compare a 4 cylinder kpangolo weighing just circa 1.5ton with a v8 twin turbo behemot weighing close to 1.9 ton tuned for high performance? angry[i][/i]

Hmm, comparing ordinary driving to drifting...

So you don't know there is extra high fuel consumption in car drifting.

lol kpangolo

I don't think it's humanly possible to drift round a circle in one hour, that's going round for at least 240 times in an hour assuming the driver takes 15 seconds to complete one cycle. Now for 8 hours, that'll be 1920 times.... Is the driver a robot? Is this even real?

You think Guinness 'll give them award without proof or monitoring?? and some peeps just love to drive sha!!!
