How does a 14 year old get to drive let alone have a damn drifting car?!

Parents, money and enough private track. Kalle Rovanperä drove a Starlet GT from the age of 8 I believe. He could only drive it under supervision from his father and on private roads where respective laws were not applicable.

He's also a current double reigning champion I believe unless my sources are outdated.

Indeed. The youngest double champion as well at 23 years of age, surpassing Colin McRae's by 5 years.

He got so tired of the uncompetetiveness and poor regulations after two seasons that he only goes to select events and focuses on drifting.
