BMW once set a continuous drift record many years back. That was then snatched by Toyota. Today, BMW has reclaimed its honour, and we have to say with quite some style. The facts are thus: on 11 December 2017, BMW driving instructor Johan Schwartz drifted the all-new, 600bhp M5 around a skid pad at the BMW Performance Centre. He drifted a total of 232.5 miles, earning the Guinness World Record certified title of greatest distance vehicle drift in eight hours". It eclipses the previous record by a whopping 143 miles. So, a hearty congratulations. But there"s more. To drift for eight hours, you need fuel. And while drifting for eight hours, you can"t really stop for fuel. So as we mentioned yesterday you have to fuel, um, during the drift itself.
