A single view of China’s Tianmenshan Mountain road from above is more than enough to get you extremely interested in a special drift challenge organized by Red Bull earlier this month. Did we mention that the spectacularly scenic road leading to the top of the Chinese mountain has 99 corners?

The two challengers were Red Bull China’s official driver James Tang from Hong Kong and Official Team Orange Japan drifter Federico Sceriffo from Italy, driving a Lexus SC and a Toyota Supra.

For the record, the Italian was crowned the ‘Drift King of Tianmenshan Mountain’ with a score of 96.5 out of 100 and a top speed of 170km/h (105.7 mph). Currently, there are four videos from the event, but more are scheduled to be released.
