Drifting V8 vans is the weirdest Japanese sub-culture we've come across

By Iain KellyIain Kelly

The Japanese sport of drifting involves sliding cars through a winding circuit, and it originated on Japan's treacherous mountain roads.

Typically drifters pick lightweight, nimble sports cars... except for a crew known as Dajiban.

These guys take huge V8 Dodge commercial vans and build drift cars out of them, as shown in this video from Aussie ex-pat and drifting expert Alexi Smith from Noriyaro.
