I'm excited to drive the S2000 for RS-R this next year. Its a be a big change for me, going from the Jasper Supra to the RS-R S2000! I drove it for the first time at the Long Beach Media day this week. I only had 5 runs, so not enough to get real comfortable in the car. We are doing a test day this weekend at fontana, which should give me plenty of seat time.

As far as taking over Alex's seat at RS-R. He sucked anyway! I'm glad he's not driving anymore. Stupid judge. JUST KIDDING! He's a good friend of mine and I know I have some big shoes to fill. He is going to make a great judge. Let the *Censored**Censored**Censored* kissing begin

i have been wondering for a while and have done the searching, but still have no answer. so why not ask the actual guys from rsr. what kind of bov is being used in the rsr supra that orido is drifting. i've been wanting to purchase it for a while but i can't find any info on it. also, good luck to all the rsr driver in d1 and fd!!

Congrats to Tyler and RS-R for manning up a 2 person team for FD this year.

2006 will be an exciting and memorable year for drifting in general.

Can't wait!

See you in Long Beach!

congrats tyler! so comparatively speaking, how are you going to drive the s2k differently than the supra?

Thanks man! Well, the S2K is 2300lbs and the supra is 2900lbs, so the wieght is going to make the cars feel much different to drive. The S2K seems much easier to place where you want on the track and easy to make adjustments during your run. The Supra was a little tricky due to the wieght. The S2K is also much quicker to respond to your imputs than the Supra was. I still need some more seat time to get everything out of the S2K. I feel like I can be more aggresive with the S2K because it responds so quick to your imputs. I hope the practice day goes well on Sunday.

i love great news like this. so it seems like alot of drivers are changing teams thsi year. We'll see at LGP/FD who drives for who. So Alex is just judging while driving other peoples cars here and there for a couple of laps
