Found this video today.Her name is Iva Rusinova, it seems after learning to drift in an ae86 shes stepped up to what i think is an Audi? converted to rear wheel drive, she is pretty dang good, and her car does not seem all that fancy. Definitley got my attention.

Google image search of her name brings up some interesting pics that I won't hotlink.
If the girl interests you more than the car, leave it to Top Gear.

I like the car better, needs paint.
The Top Gear vid is better. She drifts, changes her own tire, cooks Brats, then poses scantily clad. THAT is a woman!
I hope this is the correct person we speak of

Indeed... it seems she's found a way to finance her drifting career...
The search also led to this, which I found amusing:
I always wondered what a "closet road" looked like.
IDK, am I the only one that didn't find that very exciting? Uphill drift (so little chance of actually hitting anything), seemingly done with some really slippery rear tires at like 30mph, lol.
I'd be more impressed to see the same thing going downhill
And the usual cliche' Monster gear and (since it's a girl) the apparently "required" pink wheels and stickarz. I think it would be cooler if it was just a hot girl who had a non-"girled-out" car doing those turns at 3x the speed on some star specs. [see: Fiat X1/9 hillclimb with slaloms video, going about 10x as fast on a similar course]
I can see hot girls on porn sites. Hot girls in helmets and racing suits driving slow are no different from a random dude driving slow. [see: Danica]. If some random dude posted this vid of him, everyone here would be critiqing how slow he was going....just sayin.
I do like the car though, aside from the pink wheels.
[/hater?]
I'm with irish44J on this one. She's not that great. I saw her driving technique in a related youtube video. Meh.
