Just like I said, he can hardly ever go through an event without crashing into something.

:/ Fail

Even Tsuchiya crashes while drifting (famous crashes he did are NOB's S15 & his personal S14). Orido crashed his Supra, Aristo few dozen times, & I can count countless pro drifter crashes. So I'll be expecting better drifting from you then? I'll wait for your vid drifting.

Back on subject, not bad of rec for first round... at lease made it into top 8. For myself, I can't wait to see D1 & DM. How many GT86 gonna be in. We already know Hibino, NOB, Orido is have GT86.

Obviously people crash. Shit happens. Just saying it happens at almost every round with him. Not saying hes bad but its obvious theres a big skill gap between him and the other drivers. Did i say i was better? Sure didnt.

Am i hating? No. Just stating fact. The car is cool and id love to see it get far in the series. I think the car would have much more potential with a better driver.

His win percentage is 50%. He's not that far behind the best... just needs more time. Will see what happens as the season progresses. Def a nice guy and drives a bad ass set of wheels I love...more on that later. I took a pic with him and he signed a GReddy/Scion Racing FD FR-S hero card...def gonna frame that.

Tyler McQuarrie and Ryan Tuerck where free agents before the season started. Both of them win rounds and make it top 5 in championship points unlike Gushi's 14th place. They even finished ahead of Gushi this round at 5th and 6th in points ahead of Gushi's 9th place.

50 percent win ratio means you get knocked out in the top 16. Please.

Do tell.

I like how everyone focused on Kens crash during his chase run.

If you cared to pay attention to Kens leading runs, his angle, entry, line, and speed are all pretty immaculate. He was very consistent, IMO. One error is all that it takes though, which is pretty much the universal rule.

Well basically I spoke with one of the reps from GReddy (Mike if I remember correctly) and he said they're looking at doing a version of the FD FR-S bumper for public consumption as well as the body kit shown elsewhere in the forum previews by GReddy in JP.

Well said. If the guy was half as bad as he's being made out to be he would have been dropped a long time ago, though it doesn't hurt his dads rep proceeds him. And the fact it takes only one hiccup is the beauty Of the sport and what makes it so much to watch. JTP rocked it though and gets an A+++ for consistency
