Keichi Tsuchiya - Racing Technique

[tony speed]

I have someone arguing with me that drifting cannot be used in anything but rally and be fast. So I wanted to know if keichi actually used his drifiting style in any pro races he did, if so, how frequently.

That's how Keiichi earned the name of the Drift King. He was competing in the Fuji Freshmen Racing series and would use his cornering style to win races (6 in a row). You can see him sometimes drift the JGTC car that he drives. Drifting isn't always the fastest way around a corner but it is the most fun.

That doesn't mean drifting is going to be faster for YOU though. Keichi's got mad skills, but even he will agree that it isn't faster for every corner.

Yes dont believe drifting is the fastest way threw a corner... But believe that its always the slowest way either. I watched the Laguna Seca drift event.. Not one car i saw, from vintage porches to stock cars to miata cup cars was able to clear andretti hairpin anywhere near as fast as some of the drifters did

show the kid the drift bible...Keiichi Tsuchiya explains the differences in the techniques he uses, both show drift, and speed drift. i do believe he talks about drifting during the JGTC and some other races, in order to win.

I always noticed Tsuchiya crosses over when turning right and push-and-pulls when turning left...what's the deal with that?
