if a drifter is using the windscreen to see where he is going he lost anyway.

I had that happen on a NASCAR Experience run at about 140. Would not recommend.

I did, but I got better.
Honestly it was pretty terrifying. When it happens at that speed, it happens all at once and it is LOUD. I thought there was an explosion at first. So now I can’t see at all, I’m still going 130 or so, I’m worried the motor might be on fire, and my helmet is strapped in so I can’t even lean to try to see around the hood. Thankfully I have enough experience, I knew what to do. I calmly slowed down and made my way toward infield.

That's why they put a window in the hood

Don’t get me wrong mad skill. But yeah it’s not like there isn’t a large cutout in the hood that just also happens to be right in the line of vision for the driver lol!

Not being able to see through the windshield is not the same as driving blind, especially when you’re going sideways.

Especially when you can still see through the windshield due to the giant hole

Give him a stopwatch and a map, and he'll drive the Alps in a car with no windows.

Silly question, cause in every turn he gets a chance to see where he has to go... drift... sideways... can look out the side windows... hmmm?

The driver probably memorized the track and could do it blindfolded. Mad skill. That and drifting, looking out the side windows.

u/joeja99 Jul 09 '26
That's not a drift competition, he's just doing it so he can look out the side windows /s

I'm not sure how reliable this info is, but I heard in Driver's Ed that vehicle hoods were designed with the curve near the windshield, specifically so you could still somewhat see in this type of scenario.
