Just your average Hot Pursuit or Death Race. Nothing to see here, folks, move on— HOLY FREAKIN' COW!! Did you see that car? Only it wasn't a car, but it's tearing up the road all the same?! Sure enough, that high-performance vehicle is not an automobile, but something else entirely: perhaps a train, or a main battle tank, or a mech even. Alternatively, the speed demon is certainly a car, but not one you'd normally expect to see applying scientifically precise sinusoid pathing to Main Street. But this is an Action Movie, of course we're going to ignore things like friction, momentum, torque, engine efficiency, and so on and so forth. The Action Hero earned his driver's license in Breakneck Speedsters, and it's class E for 'everything'. In mundane hands, this baby would get twelve miles to the gallon, a horrible turning radius, and Jello Jiggler handling. But with Multi-Track Drifting, our racing pro is pulling hairpin turns, running the slalom around lightposts, ditching the cops (in actual ditches no less), and making a beautiful mess of things in general. See Improbable Piloting Skills for this trope's airborne counterpart. |

GoldenEye: The particularly memorable "tank chase" is one of the stronger examples, with Bond chasing after the Damsel in Distress in a "Model T" (a Russian T-series heavy tank, that is). Extra style points for lifting a memorial statue, sticking it in an overhang, and crushing some cars on his tail. That the guy he's chasing is in a small Soviet-bloc car just makes it even more awesome. | |

In WW2, Britain's Churchill tank certainly wasn't built for speed. But its engine power and gearing meant it could climb steeper slopes than practically every other tank out. One hilltop defensive position in Tunisia, thought impassible for tanks by its German defenders and therefore lightly guarded by mines or anti-tank guns, was over-run by Churchills climbing a slope the Germans only thought to lightly defend. Churchill tank commander John Foley, in his autobiography Mailed Fist, records that his Churchills crossed wide anti-tank ditches in the Siegfried Line simply by driving into them. and then climbing out of them as if it were a minor inconvenience. Much to the consternation of the German defenders. Foley also records a case where a Churchill skidded off a road in the Ardennes in winter ice and smow, plunging into a ravine. It landed right side up and was able to climb out again, ascending the precipitous slope with little damage to tank or crew. Here, a Bradley is parked Elwood-style. |

Despite being a game that makes strenuous efforts toward realism to the point where its engine has been used for actual military training simulations, Operation Flashpoint lets you pull this off in any tank, assuming you can reach a sufficiently high speed, due to tank treads apparently having significantly less grip than they do in Real Life. | |

In The Polar Express, the eponymous train gets derailed and begins to slide out of control when the track dips below the frozen-over surface of a lake. The engineer uses the brake and throttle to pull a J-turn, pointing it back on course, and slowly corrects the direction to line up with the rails on the other side of the lake. The entire scene is somewhat of a nightmare for those versed in steam locomotive mechanics; not so much for steering the train with the throttle and brake, but more for the fact that such violent and sudden moving of the throttle and Johnson bar would tear the running gear of any real steam locomotive to shreds. | |

The Chevalier wheeled scout tank in MechWarrior Living Legends is capable of going through absurdly tight turns at high speed, faster than a modern car could do. It's even possible to do drifting in the Chevalier, despite it being a 35-ton tank. Strangely, the Chevy handles better the faster its moving, allowing a Chevy moving at max speed to turn extremely quickly. It's also possible to do donuts the aerospace fighters, owing to their huge thrust and screwy aerodynamic stall mechanics — cut the throttle as you mash the yaw axis, wait a moment, then kick on the afterburners at max power and bam, you're doing donuts in the sky. | |

Battleship manages to do it with... well, a battleship, thanks to creative application of the anchor. This maneuver is called club hauling and was used in the age of sail to turn in a small radius. Using it on a battleship at flank speed would probably just drag the anchor. | |

James Bond: Inverted with a Mercedes-Benz sans its tires, which have been shot to pieces, in Octopussy, where Bond has to catch up with a circus train. Cue train approaching from the opposite direction. He, naturally, makes the jump before the inevitable collision. Mercedes-Benzes are not frequently made in track gauges, so the special effects crew had to improvise one. GoldenEye: The particularly memorable "tank chase" is one of the stronger examples, with Bond chasing after the Damsel in Distress in a "Model T" (a Russian T-series heavy tank, that is). Extra style points for lifting a memorial statue, sticking it in an overhang, and crushing some cars on his tail.

Top Gear (UK): An episode involved Jeremy Clarkson in a Land Rover Sport attempting to outmanoeuvre a Challenger 2. He failed. The episode showcased the tank's smokelaunchers, manoeuvrability, speed and ability to handle rough terrain. However, Clarkson managed to survive for a full five minutes, by weaving around forests where the tank could not get a good shot on him. And that was with Challenger's crew having the handicap that they could only use it's main gun's sight to draw a bead on Clarkson's Land Rover, not any of it's co-axial, pintle or turreted mounted machine guns. They also did a similar thing with a Lotus Exige versus an Apache helicopter gunship — racing around the confines of the track, trying to get missile lock. They weren't allowed to use the chin cannon or pop up from miles away and use the hellfire rockets, that would have been unfair... The show has also done such wonders as racing piled up cars with the top steering and the bottom accelerating and braking, MPVs (people carriers), camper vans (RVs) and buses. And they were all awesome. Another notable episode featured an attempt to drive a Transit Van driven around the Nürburgring in ten minutes. In the "Lorry Challenge", the three presenters were instructed to drive their eighteen-wheelers to a test track and power slide them (cabs only). All three swore blind that it couldn't be done, so the producers brought out their tame racing driver('s lorry-driving cousin), who proceeded to do just that to general consternation. (Sure enough, none of the three could reproduce the feat.) |

He manages to drift a stretch Lincoln limousine (with Rutledge in the back), and a full-sized city bus.

World of Tanks makes it possible with particularly fast vehicles; French light/medium tanks from the ELC AMX on and the US M18 Hellcat are notorious for being able to powerslide. The British Light-and-Medium line from the Tier IV Covenanter to the Tier VII Comet recently joined them. The French ELC AMX to the AMX 13 90 sequence of light tanks is notorious for being able to get air off nearly any size of hill, because of their incredibly light weight compared to most vehicles in the game. Not only that, but that particular series of light tanks is also well known for mounting incredibly powerful guns despite their size, weight, and speed. The ELC AMX doesn't have a turret that turns around 360 degrees, so what some players do is perform drifting shots on enemy tanks into their vulnerable side or rear armor. The results are both destructive and hilarious. Currently the fastest tank in the game is Pz 1 ausf.C, which is also coincidentally one of the most lightweight at under 8 tons. The tank is so prone to drifting and getting air off bumps in the road it routinely damages itself and can even break its own tracks on particularly hard landings. It is possible to pick up a surprising amount of speed going downhill, even in a heavy tank. A 71-ton IS-7 can pick up almost 60kph going down a slope, such as the hill on Himmelsdorf, and pull the handbrake to go screeching around corners nose-first, no doubt providing unpleasant surprises to anyone who thought they would get a free shot into its side as it rounded the turn. The Blizzard variant of the Erlenburg map lets you do this with practically anything: just go racing down one of the hills onto the frozen river, once you're on the ice it's pretty easy even if you're in a huge monster like a KV-4 or Type 4 Heavy. |

PlanetSide 2 features the Lightning, a one-man light tank. With the "Racer" chassis upgrade, it's capable of doing powerslides. The alternate chassis upgrade, "Rival" improves its turning radius, allowing it to drift once sufficiently upgraded. It should be noted that all vehicles in Planetside 2, no matter the weight or drivetrain have utterly appalling traction, so slides in heavy tanks and 6-wheel-drive armoured busses are no challenge to pull. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has a multi track drifting scene featuring the precursor of the Metal Gear—the Shagohod, which can go at high speeds by using two gigantic augers and a rocket booster. It arguably makes less sense than any of the Metal Gears that follow it, but that's okay because it's freaking awesome. | |

Unless you're dealing with a 316-ton super-heavy battle tank, Warhammer 40,000 doesn't have very strict rules governing vehicle movement, so as long as you don't exceed the speed limit your Land Raider can zig-zag around those barricades and pull a sicknasty 180 at the end of its move. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO and Igloo 2, the Hidolfr and RTX-440 Guntanks are machines that are in scale with the mobile suits they fight against. Given that, they're much faster and more agile then they appear. An example being the Hidolfr pivoting on its axis while moving forward. | |

In anime, the conventional battle tank is often on the losing side. Presenting the "snub tank", the subcompact version, which usually features improved speed and handling, and a short main gun that's no less powerful. Likely originates in Dominion Tank Police. | |

The Tachikoma in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex are very fast spider tanks, so you know they are fast and agile. But some of the stuff they pull off puts Spider-Man to shame. | |

Herbie in Herbie: Fully Loaded, most especially the final NASCAR racing sequence where the anthropomorphic Volkswagen was seen climbing onto the fence above the wall, trying to avoid being trade-painted. | |

The 2009 flight-combat game H.A.W.X. gives the player the ability to drift fighter jets in mid-air. However, the ability differs from jet to jet. Slowpokes like the MiG-21 Fishbed can barely hold a drift, while the SU-37 Terminator can flip in mid-air. Note that in theory, with some rather specific modifications and particularly thrust-vector engines (which are currently available technology seen on the F-35 and the F-22, for example), this is entirely possible. It would turn the pilot into paste from the g-force, though. Not to mention the way stalling is illustrated in the game, which has planes dropping like a rock the second the airframe loses stable velocity. Bwha? That's when the flight controls are set to the basic, arcade-like mode. When it's in Advanced mode, the plane pretty much stalls and holds in place in mid-air for a few seconds until speed increases, which is even worse. |

NieR lets you drift... while riding a boar. Yes, the hoofed animal. Yes, it is awesome. A programmer spent one of his lunch breaks trying to make the boar drift, and the producers thought it was too funny to not add. This returns in the sequel as well and is just as ridiculous as before. | |

Ciaphas Cain: One of Jurgen's many talents is driving a forty-ton Salamander scout tank like a sportscar. Pray you aren't in the way if he realizes he's running late, because the Commissar is never allowed to be late. | |

Forza Motorsport 4 features the Hummer H1 Alpha, a diesel AWD truck that weighs eight thousand pounds. With some tuning and upgrades, it's possible to drift the Hummer. Courtesy of the game's sometimes finicky netcode, it's possible for cars to do things that they should definitely not be able do, such as suddenly going flying up into the air while doing a sweet corkscrew before landing on all four wheels, or breaking the sound barrier through a hairpin turn. | |
