Swedish Tank Drifting

Swedish Tank Drifting. INSANITY!!!

If I'm not mistaking, that's a German Leopard2, about which is often said "you have to drive it like a pimped out Golf-GTI.
The "official" top speed of this bucket is 68 kph, but it's more or less an open secret that even the standard peacetime version can get up to 80kph or more. There even is kind of a legend about one crew that managed to hit 100+ kph on a long descending straight after some fiddling with the engine...
