I tend to dislike how subjective shows like these are.
But, they do show the cars doing what they want to do: going fast.

And although Ill give you that the driver of the Evo probably wasn't winning any touring car championships, the driver of the 1 was pretty much terrible.
He lost the back end on a prepared race track twice in one lap.
I've lost the back end of my 135 once in 6 months and it was on a sandy poorly maintained backroad when I was driving far from my best ability. And Im not even good at my best.
With a 30mm gap in tire widths from rear to front the only explaination is ignorance.
Then again maybe he was doing it on purpose.
JC does it all the time and it pisses me off.
If you're going to drift, fine, do it in a drift section of the episode. I love drifting. But don't drift when you're supposed to be showing how fast the car can go around a road course.
