I've seen that clip before, and that last drift is incredible. He (turns out Gigi is a dude's name) starts going sideways in a space that's not much longer than the car, and holds the car 90 degrees the whole way through.

Dorifto hero? Funny thing is that the WRC has moved away from big slip angles. A magazine editor drove Mikko Hirvonen's WRC Focus, and said it felt it was balanced like a FWD car. Less sliding, more forward traction. Mikko says the less sliding, the better.

Damper and drivetrain technology must be pretty advanced to make a modern gravel car go fastest with a tarmac-like technique.
