A BRZilian thanks! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

cenci · 12-15-2019, 04:09 PM

Hello guys,

Tired of seeing - what I consider - unjust negative remarks that the BRZ/GT86 lacks power to be fun in the dry, I decided to do a potpourri of oversteer on dry racetrack-grade asphalt on a 100% stock, low-mileage one, without resorting to any kind of trickery. Tried to keep a more "elegant" driving style also, with no hand-brake, aggr. inputs, clutch kicking, etc.

Sort of a thank you message to the engineering teams that worked on it, from Brazil! Yes, from the land that has ~3 units of the car.

If anyone knows someone that has done some dev. work on this beautiful piece of engineering, I would be very thankful if you could forward the video.

As a bonus, you guys get to know some of the tracks in Brazil where there is trackday action.

Cheers!

What a disappointment, with a title like 'A BRZilian thanks!' I was expecting some unseasonable but enjoyable things... Like 'tinsel', 'baubles' and .... Oh I don't know.. but more than what we currently have here..

Yep. Apparently "A Brazilin" means something totally different outside of Brazil.

They probably just call it a wax.

So they're going to have an existential crisis as well? Like us, we're either Republicans or Democrats.
