Tafheet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tafheet, popularly known elsewhere in the world as "Saudi Drift," is a motorsport phenomenon that involves trying to drift a car - often a full-size sedan - at very high speeds across a tarmac. In the process, racers often drive dangerously close to traffic, barriers, and spectators watching from the sides.

Some of the more popular tafheet techniques include:

  • "khamis" - turning the car a full 360 degrees
  • "tareed" - which is to wiggle the rear wheels left and right at high speed.

This style of dangerous driving has caused numerous accidents and have resulted in countless fatalities, but Saudi authorities have done little to curb this practice.
