I don't know much about racing but that doesn't seem to be racing line to me....she seems more intent on skidding the car through corners. I thought it would be faster to just maintain maximum traction without skidding the car by taking the racing line?? Correct me if I'm wrong

I think she does that for the fun factor...for the passengers.

Keep in mind that the M5 is a heavy car, so at speed it will drift (and smoke the tires) more than a true sports car. Look at any of the video reviews and you'll notice it does drift quite a bit around corners at speed, and a few of the reviewers have commented on it during the reviews.

Fun to watch, but not very informative.
