Drifting isn't as easy as it looks. It requires finesse and balance, and takes loads of practice to master. Even pro drifters mess up once in a while, which is why this news world record 100-plus-mile continuous drift is so amazing.

This week, South African journalist Jesse Adams brought a Toyota GT86 to a semi-wet skidpad located at the Gerotek testing facility near Pretoria, South Africa, with the goal of breaking the Guinness World Record for a single continuous drift.



According to 4wheelsnews.com, Adams drifted for five hours and 46 minutes, for an official drifted distance of 102.5 miles. That was more than enough to break the record by a considerable margin, surpassing Harald Muller's 2014 record—also set in a GT86—by almost 13 miles.

Though Adams' record has yet to be confirmed by Guinness World Records, 4wheelsnews.com says the results obtained through two independent GPS VBOX data-loggers should be sufficient.

A short celebration video was posted to YouTube immediately after Adams finished his run, which you can see below.
