Sorry for the obscene bump.
Wow. That video was awesome.
Although it seemed like they were drifting just a wee bit too much... I think at that point you're missing the point of drifting a touge (which IMO is to avoid understeer at higher speeds, and get around the technical corners easier, while having fun) and are just wasting tires... but I guess half of that drifting they're doing is just for fun. heh.
Also I wasn't very impressed by the fact that they were just handbraking the whole time.
What annoys me is that I was IN Hakone (they're on Hakone-touge), but I never got to see that route... I bet that's the same touge as in Kaido Battle 2... lol.
The road I was on had the same bumps in between the lanes (just like in the video), but neither lane was wide enough to drift in like the uphill on that touge was.
It was amazing how calm the "taikousha" (oncoming cars) were. In America, those guys would have given someone a heart attack or at least would have caused a wreck since they'd probably swerve even if the drifter wouldn't have actually hit them.
I'm pretty sure most touge drifters are pretty scared of oncoming cars though, since unlike drifters, they can't predict how they normal drivers will react.Last edited by Valkyrie; 12-08-2004, 01:08 PM.
