A BRZilian thanks!

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.

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