The Nürburgring course in Germany is known for its unpredictable weather conditions. Conditions that can change from clear skies to rain to snow on just one lap of the 12.9-mile long course. A new video shows a compilation of vehicles drifting through the rain-soaked corners of The Green Hell.

While it's not surprising to see a few Nissan 240SX coupes and BMW 3 Series drifting around the 'Ring, the video features a variety of cars attacking the track. A few oddballs include a Hyundai Veloster and an Opel Astra. A Porsche 911 and a pair of Nissan GT-Rs are among the more expensive models.

Despite the variety of cars, a few E46 BMW 3 Series coupes seem to be having the most fun on the track. Whether that is because that model lends itself to drifting better than the others or if the drivers have more skills is unknown, this video makes us want to add an E46 to our stable.

Not surprisingly, the all-wheel-drive GT-Rs have a harder time getting into a four wheel drift. There is also a first-generation (NA) Mazda Miata giving it a go. The video was shot during the Touristenfahrten Nürburgring or Tourist Rides where anyone can drive their own car on the track.
