With the Formula Drift guys heading over from the US next month, EVO Middle East had a question – are the cars coming in on the boat any good to drift in stock road form?

To find out, they took the Nissan 370Z Roadster, Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe to Yas Marina and spent the afternoon sliding them about to find out. The proper Formula Drift cars will be doing the same thing at the same place on February 25.

As you can see by these shots, all of the cars will slide, but which is the best for sideways action? Find out in the February issue of EVO Middle East, on newsstands next month.
