I will post the video as soon as I find one.
Lebanese driver Abdo Feghali, best known for being Red Bull’s frontman at drifting events, has apparently just set the world record for the longest continuous drift, as certified by the Guiness Book of Records.
As news trickles in from the record attempt today morning at the skidpad in Yas Marina Abu Dhabi, Abdo Feghali managed to double the previous record, with a distance of more than 11 km using a Chevrolet Camaro SS. We assume he was going around in a large-diameter circle to keep the drift going in an area no larger than a football pitch. While the car matters little in a stunt like this, we’d be more interested to know what tyres he used for this feat, if he made them last twice as long! [Source]

I am sorry, but I find this sort of stunts stupid, dangerous and not worthy of a post. Not to mention our youth tempted to emulate Mr Feghali with their cars. Aren’t Lebanese capable of more noteworthy achievements (in sports or elsewhere)? Am afraid not.
Fouad, the whole concept of the Car Park Drift is to take drivers out of the streets and provide them with a safe circuit for them to drift while Abdo Feghali can educate the drivers on safe driving.
This record sure does beat setting records in food imp.
imo*
l 7mar alla la y2imo, in all parts of the world they do this stuff and they also have the government attention to it and to make it go nationwide … aren’t they afraid on their kids? well some life guys some life … we cant be living in a cave just to protect the stupid people …
