i thought people knew this already? If you watch the closing credits you see a pair of green gloves which are modeled after the green Kei office gloves he always wore.
Bunta is not Keiichi Tsuchiya.... There's a short scene in the anime where Bunta talks to him on the phone. He's not shown but at the end of their call, Keichii gets called by someone and has to hang up. They said "Mr Tsuchiya, we need you". Although Keiichi did say that Bunta scared him for life haha
I actually have the Drift Bible DVD and got it signed by Tsuchiya at the D1 In irwindale in 2003. I also got my Trackside passes signed by him as well.
Real stuff here! I have had the pleasure of not only drifting on all the tracks in the video. But also being in drift events judged by the drift king himself. This is real technique here.
Clutch kicking is almost the same as side (e-brake) drifting, because you have to clutch kick to actually pull the e-brake. The big difference in the two is that when you pull the e-brake you are making sure that the rear wheels are locked. Both accomplish pretty much the same goal and like DK said those are novice/basic moves.
Over 4 years ago I first watched this thinking “I understand” But now driving an FRS(low powered car) I actually understand what he means when he talks about driving the AE86 and keeping the revs in the power band while counter steering... this man is a drift wizard.... no... a Drift King(,:
@@ryanlawson6411 I do! I actually also recently bought a Tesla Model Y for daily driving! Haha But as for the FR-S it’s basically my track/canyon driving car now. And I’m going to Streets of Willow this Friday for a Time Attack Event!(: life is good haha
@@lucywucyyy Yeah. You can actually read a little about it here: drivetribe.com/p/5-reasons-why-keiichi-tsuchiya-JZuy59HJRdSVGOqIj6IJ6w?iid=MQjJHciqQ-qee-frWMCadA
"I wish toyota could make cars like this again" flipping genius. This video changed my life when I first saw it. I got to drift the 2016 86 at Willow Springs and I'm glad I got to do that. but, I will always love these older cars.
@@onyjdm He did. Bunta and Keiichi are old racing friends and one day when Takumi was doing his usual delivery, Keiichi stopped Takumi thinking it was Bunta and he taught him for a bit
I don't drift, I prefer the technicality of grip driving, but I always come back to this video to watch Keiichi's foot and handwork. It's simply amazing.
I think every racer should know the basics of drifting. Sure, learning grip is helpful for speed, but learning how to drift may be helpful for recovery from mistakes. Also a fun change of pace imo
I appreciate how little understeer goes into the Fast drift. Makes sense. Show drift is for going sideways, and fast drift is for actually going around the corner as fast as possible(faster than the grip of the tires on their own with a Fast Grip run). My philosophy is that the idea is to get the car around a corner as fast as possible, even if that means “floating” the tires by making the most of the forward momentum and acceleration, without adding yaw to the front or rear- usually in an FR car that means there will likely be higher G’s in the rear than the front causing a slide anyway- essentially understeering(grip or slight slide) with the front even while counter steering, and oversteering(drift slide) in the rear, using the rear and differential’s abilities and tuning, to go push around the corner with as much speed as possible. I understand tires are the biggest upgrade a regular car can have towards performance, but I believe that a properly tuned suspension and differential makes more of a difference in how much the car can handle with whatever tires are on it, and how much rotational speed it can handle(G’s) without excess yaw(under or oversteer)
He proves that even though this is 18 years old that you don’t need insane amounts of horsepower to drift. Also these techniques STILL are essential to drifting even today he shows the finesse and footwork of a master drifter who has experience. Drifting today is all about flash and sponsorships and horsepower. To me the sport died long ago when it turned into a d**k measuring contest about who has the most money and who has the most insane set up that isn’t drifting.
This is just tooo awesome.... this video really does work, its not like the other drift videos. U can really study off this..... THankya so much guys (Y)
Fun fact: a short clip was showcased in Initial D in the First Stage I believe it was Act 3 or 2 when they laugh at Takumi for explaining what a drift is
CrazyKnows With a RWD car you just lose traction on the rear wheels, controlling the angle of your car with the gaspedal. While you drive "normal" with the front wheels, those keep traction and guide your car. That won't work with an AWD car. Since you have power on the front wheels as well, the car tends to just pull itself back on a straight line. What you have to do with an AWD car is called all wheel drifting, you have to break the traction on all four wheels. Therefore drifting with an AWD car is *much* harder.
Exactly, it's like there aren't any slower non-turbo cars for them, but Tsuchiya is a pro, he knows what he means when he says that. It's about finesse, rather than brute strength.
+Doge Fujiwara it sure is an awesome car! and they are relatively cheap to buy you could try one! if I were you I'd go with the '91 or the '93 which is also the one my father let me with :-D
+Doge Fujiwara Good example. Never drink and drive. You first drink, then you can drive. It is dangerous to hold beer with one hand while the other hand steers. You might SPILL the beer!!!
3years ago I said to my father I can handle a car pretty well, He asked me how, I showed him this..3years later.... The car still stays in the garage He never gave me the keys, Don't know why? :p
Seeing him overjoyed in the old AE86 reminds me of Chris Harris' review of the 911 R, in which he spent most of his time enjoying an old Peugeot 205 Rally!
Negative, too much counter steer to be competitive at legit racing however at 1:06:39 is a perfect drift with m i n i m a l coutersteer *that* was a perfect drift.
"so how should a beginner set up his or _her_ machine to drift like the king" - Wow, that's a rare phrase used with a rare thought. Pleased to see this wording in the video- well worth watching.
Basically you do a slow then a speedy and your car will do a slippidydoo, so you gotta to a spin on the wheel and a lil more speedy upon exit. That's exactly how you do it.
