D1GP Round 2 Suzuka: Trouble For Three 86s
 

Car@Nifty posted a video compilation from Suzuka on Saturday: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxMc4cEslgA"]New86 turbo D1GP Crash again #lovecars #D1GP #drifting #GT86 #FR-S - YouTube[/ame]

Cleaned-up description/translation from the notes, and watching the video:

Tetsuya Hibino (Up Garage Falken turbocharged 86): unknown crash; front-right wheel dislocated.
Max Orido (Drive M7 V8 86): spun out into the sand, but the car seems okay.
Nob Taniguchi (HKS supercharged 86): blown engine (but he has a spare FA20).

I agree with the sentiment of the last line in the description: "Ganbare 86! Makeruna 86!" ("Go for it, 86! Do not lose, 86!")

Too bad. Taniguchi at 1:50 is ripping it up

Isnt that the second time tetsuya has ruined this car?

Yes; in Round 1 in Odaiba, he spun out and hit the right rear against the wall. This is the right front; perhaps he understeered a left-hander? ...*EDIT* ...after looking again, the nose is fine, so it wasn't a wall; maybe it was curbing or something else that caused a suspension part to fail.

Better news: Taniguchi finishes 7th after replacing the engine:

NOB finished 6. Orido got 7

That's what they get for supercharging the 86 :lol:

good stuff. lol when i saw that the up garage one had died again i was like "Again?!" funny how all 3 had problems. guess that might b how it is experimenting and trying out a new car

How much HP is the HKS car pushing now?

I don't get it... what's so funny?

Yeah what's funny about losing to Daigo Saito or the round winner Takahashi?

Oh my... This can't be good!

yeah i dont get it either.... its not like drifting puts any extra stress on a motor causing it to blow or their isnt a million reasons a motor can blow other then just their supercharger. are you hoping their supercharger is not a success? :iono:

It's not that it's funny on it's own but there is a video posted that says something along the lines of 'why the brz isn't more powerful." It shows a guy in a lamborghini revving the engine and taking a left turn and he oversteers into the other lane right between two cars.

I fail to see how that's relevant with the supercharger remark.
