Drifting refers to a motor sport technique where the driver intentionally over steers. This causes a loss of traction in the rear wheels of the car. However, professional drifters have mastered maintaining control.

Experts question how Feghali conquered the world’s longest drift, since taking corners at high-speeds and maintaining a sideways skid causes tires to overheat. Feghali accredits his accomplishment to the Easy Drift System. His team used an ‘Easy Drift’ system, a mount that fits over the rear tires.  Feghali said, “Well that is our secret, we start burning that until the easy drift tires burst and then we continue on the normal tires.”

Feghali drove a stock Chevrolet Camaro SS fitted with EasyDrift rings and whose only main upgrades include a hydraulic handbrake and KW suspension. The EasyDrift System slides over tire and rim to reduce grip and to reproduce skid conditions. It is easy to install, easy to use, can be used under any weather conditions and enhances driving on rear, front, and all-wheel drive vehicles.

Louis Callard, owner of EasyDrift USA believes, “When Alexander and I started the Easydrift adventure a couple years ago we were in unknown territory, today
our path is quickly being paved, first with our success in Law Enforcement EVOC training and now in the motor sport world. We are confident that we’ll break many more world records”.

Dado drove a stock Chevrolet Camaro SS fitted with EasyDrift rings and whose only main upgrades include a hydraulic handbrake and KW suspension. He was able to continue his drift at a speed of just over 60 kph, though the man of the moment admitted later on that he had at one point touched 80kph.

The world record is a testament to EasyDrift’s durability and we are honored to partner with Red Bull and Chevrolet as sponsors for this Guinness World Record.

A Revolution in Law Enforcement Driver Training

Easydrift burst onto the law enforcement training scene two years ago with their revolutionary approach to improve law enforcement driver training.  Law enforcement agencies now have an extremely cost effective option for teaching skid recovery training versus the traditional method of using a skid pad and sprinkler system or very complex hydraulic systems.

Terry Earwood, a professional race car driver and advanced driving instructor states “Only when we put the student in an ‘adverse situation’, can we see his or her natural response, and subsequently begin to coach the proper techniques, and it’s simply easier and cheaper to begin this training in a low speed, controlled, ‘skid environment’, while coaching from the right seat.”  Larry Wagner L.E. Coordinator / Instructor at Manatee Tech Law Enforcement Academy also quotes ”What I like most about the DTS is the fact that we do not need to have the student purposely skid to teach them recovery techniques.  Additionally, having them travel into an exercise at 17-22 MPH utilizing the DTS is much safer than the speed traveled before on four regular tires to train the same techniques”.

Easydrift Design Improvements

Easydrift’s advanced driver training system (DTS) has now been improved both from a design and a materials perspective.  These improvements make the product much easier for law enforcement training staff to install and remove the DTS product from the tire on which it is interlocked.  In addition the Easydrift engineers have minimized unwanted side effects such as vibration and shuddering while training vehicles are sliding or skidding.  These improvements translate into less wear and tear on the transmission, suspension system and the axle.
These design modifications significantly improve installation of the DTS system and reduce the installation time by almost 80%.
“Initially, our Driver Training System was installed on the vehicle’s tires using soap, water and a heavy hammer”  states Louis Callard, the company’s managing partner.  “Today, installation is much simpler and requires only a small tire vacuum and very little manual labor.  This is a huge plus for the busy training units.”
The new DTS product has undergone extensive testing and law enforcement agencies that deploy the system will find that the new system reduces wear and tear and is also much quieter.  The end result is that training will be more enjoyable.  Law enforcement professionals are able to train longer and more effectively and trainers are getting better feedback on technique flaws which could result in serious injuries while responding to real emergency situations.  “We often have feedback from EVOC instructors stating that their students are becoming smoother drivers after proper Easydrift training.  That’s extremely positive because although there is a saying, smooth is fast, we also preach, smooth is Safe.
Callard feels strongly about the value of Easydrift: “Our goal is to reduce law enforcement vehicle related accidents and more specifically law enforcement vehicle related deaths.  We take this calling very seriously and want to reduce the risks posed by these men and women who put put their lives on the line every day.”

Founded in 2009 in Florida, Easydrift,LLC is pursuing driver safety with the use of the Driver Training System to educate and train law enforcement personnel on how to recognize and recover from a loss of adherence and eliminate a potentially deadly situation.

It’s all part of a new training device offered by Easydrift, a Gainesville start-up company that teaches law enforcement drivers and others how to maneuver safely when roads are slick. To simulate dangerous driving conditions, business partners Louis Callard and Alex Hayot outfit cars with their patented Easydrift rings, which encase a car’s tires and allow the car to skid, swerve, twirl and fishtail at very low speeds.

“You don’t need to go fast to learn how to drive fast,” explains Hayot, who is the product’s inventor, a former racecar driver and a native of Guadeloupe (a French island in the Caribbean). “Very few people understand that driving is science. You need to know many, many things.”

Hayot came up with the idea for Easydrift after a terrible car accident in 2004.

Hayot’s family made him swear off racing, but he still wanted to find a safe way to experience the thrills of drifting, when cars use a controlled slide to take on corners. Using his engineering background and his own savings, Hayot started with PVC pipe and ultimately partnered with Quadrant, a multinational company based in France, to create a polymer that had a smooth contact surface for skidding.

“I did that just to have fun, to drift without danger, so my wife would be happy, my parents would be happy, and I would be happy,” Hayot says. “At first it was a joke, but then it appeared to be a good teaching tool.”
