Even in a car designed for exceptional performance like the Ford Focus RS with a motoring veteran such as Ben "The Stig" Collins behind the wheel, an immaculate drift is anything but child's play. Just ask the guy making it look easy in this video.
There's plenty that can go wrong at any given moment, which is why only trained, experienced drivers should attempt a drift under strictly controlled conditions. That's what makes it so easy for Collins to appreciate the way the newly introduced Drift Mode instantly shifts bias to the rear wheels with the push of a button, so the All-Wheel Drive can distribute power where it's needed most to see the slide through.
Collins is no ordinary driver. The Ford Focus RS is no ordinary car. They're a perfectly matched pair precisely because both are built to make the extraordinary look ordinary on any given track, anytime.
