BRZ: Good for grip and drift

[pdreams]

Hi,

Thought I wanted to just share my first track outing in the BRZ.

It has been mentioned so often, that the BRZ is meant for a more mature audience, thus a more initial understeer setup as compared to the 86/FR-S.

Having done one trackday, that could not be further from the truth. To assume that its a more muted edition of the 86/FR-S is an understatement.

It all depends on how the driver wants to drive it.

My only conclusion, it really is an FR car.

If anyone's keen, here are 2 vids compiled from the outing.

Compared to my last car which was a JDM FD2 Type R, the BRZ certainly lacks in top-end power. It does not help that it comes less equipped as a ready-to-track car.

Nonetheless, it more than makes up in terms of a lively driving experience. Easy to control definitely considering its really my first FR car. I am definitely looking forward to getting to drive it more as the car develops with bolt-on parts.
