If you’ve ever played a , you know the feeling: You’ve built out your perfect drift machine (mine is a widebody 2020 Supra with a 7.2-liter V8), dialed in your suspension settings (a touch more front camber and rear sway bar than the game suggests), and you’re getting comfortable in the Drift Zones; hanging the tail out through sweeping turns, mashing the handbrake for that last little bit of horizontal slide before a corner. “Hey,” you think to yourself, “I’m getting pretty good at this. I bet I could drift a real car.”

Here’s what happens when you test that theory out.

Fans of Formula Drift in the U.S. will know , one half of the but Worthouse drift team. While the team pulled out of Formula Drift after 2019, Piotr and Worthouse are still drifting abroad — and winning championships, like this past .

But while Piotr was winning in his 900-horsepower left-hand-drive-converted S15 Silvia (seemingly the same 2JZ-powered car he used to compete in FD over here), another rising star of drift was winning his way through another Drift Masters championship: .

Rhys won the 2021 Drift Masters Virtual Championship, which came with the grand prize of a drift session with Piotr — and the chance to not only drive the Worthouse S15, but to tandem with Piotr in an R34 Nissan Skyline. Rhys, who claims to have little-to-no real-world drive experience, suddenly had nine hundred real-world horses at his disposal.

And he did great! I don’t know that he managed the kind of that Piotr’s used to drifting with, but he pulled it off better than our own . So next time you’re three-starring a Drift Zone in Forza, dreaming of doing the same in a thousand-horsepower pro car, remember this video. You may not be as far off as you think.
