The MR2 was the funnest car I’ve ever driven on track. Not the fastest but it’s a car that makes you concentrate just cuz of how quirky it’s characteristics are on tarmac. I really want another one.
I don't speak Japanese, but I love the in-car banter & laughing between the drivers, especially with Gan-san driving. Something I've always enjoyed with these videos.
Keiichi and his godlike driving technique. It started to look like his tires out did the other drivers because of braking, shifting, turning, track knowledge. I wouldnt be surprised if he was gathering information by watching how the other guys cars were behaving. Like he said in the old and new nsx battle, "look how they move" if youve got ocd with linearity and leveling you know what he means when he says that.
The problem seemed to be mostly about suspension/differential/brake settings but then 90s aftermarket turbines didnt really have much to brag about in terms of turbo lag I guess
Lets give thanks to the tuning gods for intervening here and making the Veilside kitted car retire early. I might not have made it to the end of the video if that abomination had stayed on screen!
I've always been a fan of the MR2. My first two cars were the pontiac fiero which i thought as similar but always wanted an MR2. Now I drive a G35 and am considering trading for MR2 or 350z.
