We’re a big fan of racing on dirt here at Flux Auto. There’s just something to be said about the skill required to go fast when you don’t have traction. It gives some artistic flavor to the science of speed. That’s why I thought this video was pretty interesting. Road & Track took IndyCar driver Alex Loyd and put him in a full fledged wingless Sprint Car. High five to whoever thought up that idea because Loyd’s lifetime of carting and formula car racing formed bad habits when it came to going fast around the dirt oval. We get to watch as he figures out the drift technique from scratch.
