Hottest package from England since Keira Knightly.

Like to drift? Wanna learn? This is the rig, a hightech text book. A $750 piece of equipment that uses GPS technology. But this box-DriftBox to be exact- won't get you out of the woods if you get lost. However it could make getting lost more fun.

It mounts on the windshield using three suction cups. It then measures all aspects of your drift: slip angle, velocity, as well as grip level in g. It doesn’t just record data; it will also judge a drifter’s performance. Based on the slip angle and lateral g you’re pulling, it calculates a score, on a scale of 0 to 10, after each drift. It then writes the data on an SD card so you can compare drifting sessions, racetrack laps, and quarter-mile runs.

For those beginner drifters, a manual is included showing how to do certain drifts. Such as the 'clutch kick'.
