When Captain Slow wanted to learn about car control, he caught up with a bloke called Mika Hakkinen. Mika told James that Scandinavians are notoriously handy behind the wheel thanks to something called ‘Sisu'. Well, we've found a man with lots of Sisu.
His name is Fredrik Sørlie, and, like absolutely everyone in Scandinavia, he loves going sideways.
In the video above, you'll witness a five minute foray of endless left-right-left drifting, as Fred flings his Underground Garage Cressida JZX30 (complete with rear-view mirror rhinestone bauble) through a frozen forest.
Of course there's a helicopter too, offering an incredible insight into what a 2JZ-GE-swapped 70s Toyota looks like in Full Banzai Rally Mode, the car penduluming effortlessly around its front axle.
Because he's clearly a responsible sort of chap, Fredrik thoughtfully employed a co-driver to feed him pace notes: in this case Caroline Eng, who just so happens to be a model as well as a professional rally co-driver. Handy, that.
Even though Fredrik looks more heavy-metal bassist than lithe racing driver, he sure can hustle his car with talent. Check it above.
