I dunno, it looks staged. The drifts are definitely staged since they don't even look like he's on the same street.

Considering the traffic, everyone else is remarkably well behaved. No one is making any unexpected turns or lane changes. It really looks like a movie chase scene.

If it isn't staged, he should be arrested for reckless endangerment. Only a matter of time before he hits a pedestrian.

staged for sure

Yeah, does seem as though he had way too many opportunities to swing through stopped vehicles and go in between them in lanes side by side. In real life, you never see that. Then when he passes into on coming traffic, they always just swing over well in advance.

IF it was staged... how much would it have cost to do this and who is making the profits from it? This isn't exactly plastered in advertizements like Ken Block's stuff is.

For all we know it could be footage taken for a movie, or a commercial.

And since the guy is well on his way to 1 million views, he'll probably make some money off the you tube video.
