Whoa. Why didn’t we think of this? Basically, the folks behind FreeRace take over a parking lot, set up a nice, wide autocross-ish course with barrels and barriers and let loose a few hoons in matching 370Zs. First one across the line wins; any and all shenanigans are fair game.  Any downsides? We can think of two and a half: it’s not on dirt and It’s Euro-only for now. The half is that this seems to be a Nissan marketing thing, but if you’re honest, pretty much all motorsports competition is marketing for someone.

One such Hoon (yes capital H for him) goes by the name Rob Krider. You may be familiar with his Racer Boy series over at SpeedSportLife, a great running column where he discusses what it takes to race at many various levels. You read the words he write, but can he actually back up the talk behind the wheel? Hop the jump to see a video of him drifting his way through an autocross course to a first place finish… pay attention to how many cones he hits.

That my friends… is how you whip it good.
