Think Europe has the monopoly on sensational spaghetti-shaped driving roads? Brazil would like to take that conception and drop it off a mountain range.
Preferably, this one. The Serra Do Rio Do Rastro is not a ‘New Latin Gym Free Dance Craze!' but a mountain range in Southern Brazil. And along this mountain range lies a stretch of tarmac seemingly created by the gods of oversteer.
Pikes Peak legend Rhys Millen and the Red Bull team decided this narrow path with little run-off and lots of peril should be tackled sideways. They strapped Rhys into a race-prepped 750bhp Hyundai Genesis coupe, gave him a pat on the back and sent him on his way.
This is the result.

That "road" was more like a sidewalk.

American TopGear proved that even blind people can drift. I want to try it so badly. Hard to find a 700hp car and unlimited free tires though.

Methinks "Monster" Tajima would just laugh at all the drifting and simply go faster.

If you leave out the poverty, favelas and crime, Brazil sounds like a great destination. It is my understanding, and I may be mistaken, that Brazil also allows more types of interesting cars to enter without being seriously adulterated. It is also my understanding, based entirely on what people say and with absolutely no research on my behalf, that Brazil is full of attractive women who dress in revealing clothing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXp7KPAabBU

Dear Top Gear, look up "The Tail of the Dragon" it is a road in America, specifically the Tennessee/North Carolina border. It is an 11 mile stretch of asphalt heaven with 318 turns, thats more than twice as many turns as the Nurburgring, it has claimed the lives of 25 motorcyclists in the last ten years alone and has a tree where riders who survive their accidents traditionally hang pieces of their shattered bikes. During peak season there is a team of EMT's permanently stationed in the middle of it, and they close it down often for races. The film Thunder Road was filmed there. If you are looking for a road trip and a lot of fun, there is your destination.
