Drift-Ready Maruti Baleno
This post stems from miss_motoaddictto and jktyre_motorsport on Instagram. The visuals are quite exhilarating. They capture a complete stunt-show in the JK Tyre FMSCI National Racing Championship with the drift king of India, Sanam Sekhon. From the outside, it is clearly visible that the driver is able to drive the Baleno on the two side tyres alone. That represents his mastery over his skills of drifting and stunts. He does it for quite a long distance. All this while, the girl in the front seat is standing out of the window. Thereafter, the man goes for some intense and wild drifts. The girl, who is also an automobile content creator, records how she is being thrown around in the seat due to the sheer inertia.

Needless to say, such stunts raise the adrenaline of anyone. But it is crucial that people don’t perform such activities on public roads with the safety measures in place. It is easy to get carried away after watching such videos online. But we must remember these are professionals. They have been doing this their entire lives. Also, these stunts take place in a controlled environment where medical facilities and other safety equipment are readily available. Therefore, we suggest you won’t ever perform such activities on your own.
