Longest drift=2hrs?
Longest Horizontal Power Slide
The longest ever horizontal power slide in a car lasted 2 hours 11 minutes 18 seconds, and was performed by Britain's Simon de Banke on July 29, 2001, at the wet-grip circle at the MIRA Proving Ground, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, UK.
Simon drove a standard Subaru Impreza WRX 2001 on a surface of Bridgeport pebbles, which, when wet, are designed to have similar handling charateristics to compacted snow. To set the Guinness World Record, Simon was required to keep the car in a constant power slide – without spinning, straightening up or changing lane – for 15 minutes... although he managed to sustain this for well over 2 hours!

The surface was comparible to packed snow... anyone who has driven a wet skidpad knows just how easy sideways action is on slick stuff...props to him for inhuman control and endurance but D1 is still crazier.
