Nothing is impossible ! At least for the pilot Bartosz Ostalovskyi. The Pole, who had both hands amputated after a serious motorcycle accident in 2006, recently entered his name in the famous Guinness Book. records ! He really did a drifting at an impressive speed of 231.66 km/h for 50 m at an angle of 30 degrees! To maintain this speed while sliding, he had to initiate a skid of his car at a speed of almost 280 km/h! What a car!
A monster with a capacity of 1000 hp. and 1200 Nm of torque!
To achieve his feat, Bartosz Ostalovsky did not drive just any car. His weapon of the day was none other than a BMW M3 E92 is very heavily modified! And it’s not for nothing that the German V8 gave way to an American block that develops a whopping 1,000 hp. and 1280 Nm of torque! It must be said that this LS3 motor has at least 7 liters! Almost twice as much as the original BMW engine! All that cavalry refers only to the rear wheels, obviously.
A true force of nature
Bartosz Ostalowski is definitely not a driver like others. Despite his disability, competes in the Polish championship drifting. Just like other pilots with all their motor skills. And that’s not all! His car may be equipped with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission, but Bartosz Ostalowski himself shifts the gear thanks to a belt placed at the level of his right shoulder. This force of nature is a true inspiration that proves that nothing is impossible!
