Amazing driving. The Suzuka is almost like a roller-coaster of a race track.

I never see you get a turbo speed on the hardest track very interesting

[@GiantsOrbiting]

This is excellent!!
Edit: Far better than what I can do!!

Thanks!

I just love the fact that you purposely crashed after your qualifier, that was funny.
Anyway, great job on the world record! Plan to get 80K on the other tracks (besides Test)?

[@DanielYamnitz]

Thanks! I got 81k on Fuji last year, The only one left to really gain ground on is seaside. (77.8k) And that's a brutal track!

This is a weird request, I know, but it would be cool to see like a pedal cam angle or something; watching your videos has really opened my eyes to certain strategies that I could use, seeing how you handle the tight chicane after S1 would be so useful. 😭
As of now, my PP2 record for Suzuka using the Twin Galaxies dipswitch is 55,250; so seeing you get to 80k+ is surreal. 😅

I've never thought of filming that angle because I literally never lift my foot off the gas. I upshift or go off road to slow down. 55k is actually fantastic on this track! Even getting pole position on it is incredibly difficult!! Playing the game at turbo speed is totally different, have to learn how the car reacts, like in the chicane the game acts like the curves are banked so the car will somewhat follow the curve so it's easy to oversteer because the car is already turning a bit. In those turns I don't "steer" it's a quick small jerk of the wheel to the right then almost immediately a quick one to the left with the only thing deciding on how quick is where the enemy cars are. Staying on road as much as possible helps with time and getting into turbo. As far as the hairpin, it's just knowing what the car will do when you either cut in early or wait and go outside, and that should depend on where the other cars will be. On the last lap of this race I truly didn't know where the cars would be after I came out of the hairpin blind that's why I stayed off road for an extra half second to see where they are. So awesome you're playing PP2! Always love new challengers!

Excellent time but there is still room for improvement on the final lap straight. Should have gone through the cars not off the track probably would have given you 81k. Great drive still 👍
