Slider's Ed Episode 5

It's difficult to compete in a full season of Formula D. It's a logistical and financial nightmare to transport a driver, car and pit crew all across the country for just a few minutes of tail-happy sideways action.

What of the drivers, like our own Patrick Mordaunt, who don't have an army of people and a Brinks truck full of cash to compete? We sit down with Patty Cakes and see how it's done.

This weekend we took a trip down to Long Beach to check out the Formula Drift competition, where a dozen high powered cars tear around three corners of the famous Long Beach Grand Prix track with the aim of impressing an array of judges (and, of course, a packed crowd).
