Oh no are you saying this car won't make me into a drifting legend overnight. Oh what shall I do?

Btw, thanks for sharing but should probably go here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=30

That made me cringe a little but I was expecting far worse.

Today I learned: The 86's Front Facia's corners are really strong :bellyroll:

Today I learned: I'm not Takumi Fujiwara. :thumbup:

Today I learned: Red exterior paint DOES add extra hp !

Yah, I was expecting Eddie Griffin Enzo quality... that was more of a bump than a crash.

today i learned: common sense ain't so common universally. there's a reason why driving events are typically shut down when it's raining outside. :bonk:

akina wet ?

lol, that could have totally been avoided too. At least there wasn't any noticeable damage.

Classic example of target fixation.

Classic McGruber.

Anyone knows, or care to find out, why the car suddenly jerk forward when he stopped the drifting? Was he releasing the clutch? automatic? or what have you?

Anyway, just notice that this drive is actually free of charge. I wonder if the driver needs to pay for the damage.

Today I Learned: In the first year of production many extra parts will be available due to people that don't know how to drift.

Interesting, I'm glad the thing is made well but I expected that from Subaru. Glad to see they were holding well in the rain and the pick up either one seemed responsible.

Yes! Soon there will be a classified section full of people parting out their FRSs and BRZs. The rest of us will benefit from their lack of skill :)

:w00t:

Uncontrollable acceleration? It is a toyota! :lol:

where is the test driving being done? Doing a marketing presentation on the 86 and want to learn more about this driving experience they are doing.

i don't know about most of you but my face was like OMG! when he was about to hit that barrier lol

????

its for my marketing class. i have to do a persentation on something so i am doing it on the gt-86. When you see what toyota has been doing with the car its easy to do this. Teasing of the car from the ft-86, putting it in gt5, giving test drives to major auto mags, letting major tuning company's do r&d on the car so there is major after-market support for the car, all that stuff done before the car is even out to the public is huge, and also the Area 86 program in japan for after the car is bought.

I am just trying to find out where this test driving is being done in the video clip and check out more about it, because if they are letting people get behind the wheel early thats a huge marketing topic i could present on.

What in the world are they doing anyway? They're just cutting bad donuts in the rain??

Lazy lazy... I'm not liking your chances for a good grade in your marketing class if you cannot copy/paste the text into Google translate ;-)

It took place here: http://www.megaweb.gr.jp/About/en.html
Toyota's 'Theme Park'
And it must have been this event: http://www.megaweb.gr.jp/Event/Night_day/

lol thanks google chrome was not doing auto translate for me like it usually does when go to a japanese website.

i've been there, it's in odaiba...

i want to go back to japan again ><;

i was supposed to visit again, but i need to save up the down payment for the as1 :P

until you open your insurance bill...

Asian drivers! JK

Urg... Idiot in the rain too...

i love how you can suddenly hear sirens right after the hit haha

Actually, that's only some Auto-X, Drag Racing, and NASCAR. HPDEs, ALMS, all Touring Cars, F1, and Rally are held rain or shine.

Combination of target fixation and possibly a lack of knowledge of what a car does when the rear tires bite and the car stops sliding sideways. I assume he unwound the wheel thinking the car was going to keep sliding and he didn't want it to rotate as fast as it had been.

Needed more throttle.

The car jerks forward because the rear tires bit. When they stop spinning and start grabbing, the car starts to move forward again. Go to your local drag strip and watch the cars doing their burnouts.

Notice how the car jerks forward as the tires hook up?

:bellyroll:

Damn this car looks so much fun in the wet!!!

Ah.. Thanks for the explanation. I guess the driver was thinking if he could spin a bit more and let the rear gripped so that he can move forward rather than hitting the plate. So he needed more throttle to complete the drift but didn't.
