Drift cars weren't built for this... but that didn't stop us from trying.

Driver Battles heads back to the Freedom Factory, where two of drifting's biggest names trade smoky tandem runs for a timed autocross battle. Taylor Ray brings his C6 Corvette, while Collete Davis lines up in her Nissan 350Z. Both cars were purpose-built to slide, but today they'll have to find grip as they tackle a technical course that winds through every corner of the Freedom Factory.

Fast transitions, tight gates, and zero room for mistakes make this one of the most unique Driver Battles courses yet! Can a drift setup adapt to precision driving, or will one competitor figure it out before the other?

Join host Ron Bergenholtz to see who puts down the fastest lap and takes home the win!
