ferrai 430 in circuit touge

ferrari 430 test

[@12389h]

This is completely different to driving a 300hp NSX on a flat circuit. The touge is extremely bumpy, the cars constantly off balance, not really a circuit for a high powered mid engined Ferrari. Tsuchiya knows what he's doing, not many people can take a F430 to it's limit like Tsuchiya on a narrow mountain road like this.

[@chrissss696]

[@MalKediler]

@@chrissss696 A lot of people dont drive a Ferrari. Electronics do it for them

[@TheLordMaximo]

depends, if was scuderia f430 with adjustable shocks and stuffs?
or else 360 challenge stradale ?
sometimes you can help on that bump parts with some adjust on these kind of cars
but fear about you do a mistake and hit a car like that must be big

His name is Keiichi Tsuchiya, a pioneer of drifting and was at a such a high level of racing technique that he beat other professional racers using a lower class car. He's the fisherman in Tokyo drift.

[@dimmn82]

I can't even guess how many times he's done this run. He has the road memorized.

[@ShanesAutos]

That is some serious driving. Pushing a Ferrari on a tight narrow track like that requires skill and he’s got plenty of it.

[@crushersyu]

@2:17 on right hand corner, the car starts to revers the rear end, usually an amature driver would panic and closes the throttle and results in spining but Tsutiya, thanks to his professional skill, kept on giving necessary thrust while adjusting the steering to counter the moment to go around he balanced the car perfectly. Good driving.

[@wdunn06]

I cant stop watching this. Seeing someone do something so well is utterly mesmerising. Wish I could drive as well as he can.

@raclimja16 he's not driving it badly. he isn't used to the car. It's very hard to put the power down on a + 200hp RWD car on a tarmac rally stage! Try watching some Group B RWD car's on tarmac... The driver's were very tired on each stage.
Driving 4WD is a diferent story, by the way Loeb has 8 WRC titles :D

[@thereisen2776]

The ignorant comments for this video are amazing, and shows how little some of you know about driving and cars in general. There is a lot of hype surrounding Tsuchiya and the whole 'drift king' title, but when you get down to it he is an amazing driver and is one of the world's best.

Hi guys,
Tsuchiya won several races in Formula 3 as well in 90's.There were quite tough competitions in Japanese F3 at that time because so many good dirvers were there from EU, following Schumacher Bros.
for more details, pls google his career by youe self.

[@UFwho]

The thing he's pushing on is called a "deadrest". .....No clutch pedal but there IS a clutch that is activated electronically instead of hydrolically. This current "entry level" ferrari is available in 6 speed manual but not as popular as the paddle. As for left foot braking, this car is fast enough that most find that the single-point seatbelt (non race belt) will keep you looking for seating position stability. That's where the deadrest comes in handy.

[@coldspoon]

[@benj07]

I think the point should be made that him not using both feet does not question is ability in a racing car. In Australia, one of the only ppl who would use both feet in a situation like this is Greg Murphy becasue he uses his left foot to break so that he can always control the accelerator pedal. Most other drivers in the field don't, hence would have their 'clutch foot' placed firmly in its resting position.....

[@mrandy5447]

When the ferrari's back end went out mid turn at ~2:15+ I nearly crapped myself thinking shit he's going to ruin a crazy expensive sports car, he's going to spin off course. Instead, he floors it and perfectly counter steers to stop the spin and save the car and just keeps going.

[@samtkennedy]

i think he did a pretty reasonable job on a difficult circuit. He pushed it hard and corrected the kick out of the back end around the corners (although perhaps he allowed a little too much slide). BUT FOR GODS SAKE ITS OBVIOUS HE USES THE PADDLE SHIFT, FERRARI DONT MAKE THESE CARS IN AUTO.

[@celpabedn]

He knows the track, its obvious some corners are blind and he knows weather to slow down or push, neither less beautiful driving and sliding.

[@Toeli]

i agree that he should use the left foot because there isnt a clutch, but on the other hand he is driving quite smoothly

[@PinkGuy120]

If only the car's buyers would drive them like this...

[@enkei555]

If only Gran Turismo actually featured Ferraris and Porsches...

[@LeontariF1]

I like his sound effects "Eeeeeeeee.....eeeeeeee" :-)
I am surprised he doesn't use left foot for braking. In some corners he could hold a very light brake bias on entry as he starts to power out and get a small slight advantage.

[@lilrodman]

[@peelovesbeca]

thats a sick drift he pulls at 2.20

[@lucrativeelfmongrel]

[@DasKantholz]

left foot braking makes sense in turbo-charged car's. So you can stay on the gas, and keep the turbo-pressure alive while braking. No turbo, no leftfoot braking. Thats it!

[@Jojo_Bee]

That's Keiichi Tsuchiya, the drift king; the legend of the touge as he claims to be. but i think he has proven his point here. Throw him any car in the touge and he'll try his best to release its potential if not to the max. he's so damn proud also to claim that he's got all his skill by training with an AE86 when he was still young. Guess that's what an old car can do for you by the time you drive a more advanced car later. Nice!

[@350z33hr]

raclimja16, why are you talking about rally?This video is about the Togue.

[@tsujimasen]

I do support left foot braking on the straightaway in a high horse power car, while you have the power on, in order to stabilize the car.
e.g. You're pushing 700 whp to the rear wheels without traction control. As you come off the corner exit onto the straight, you floor the throttle and try to put all your ponies to the ground. However, bumps on the racetrack start to destabilize your car. Using your left foot to apply the brake while your right foot is on the gas to stabilize the car is ok.

[@ae86liloli]

german auto makers are the founders of the automotive and aricraft technologies, they strive in technology advancement from the 1st combustion chamber to electric circuit board.Dual clutch (direct shift) is a vw patent technology, evox transmission is made by getrag which is a german gear company that supply bmws, 911s, corvette, toyota... ect. If you look at formula 1, where almost all auto/space technology is developed from, every country has many innovative technology coming up every year.

[@eleven2185]

left foot is for clutch remember? even in most auto-trans' vehicles, intructors advice that you use only your right foot for accel' and braking..keep it tuck in!

[@monkeyboy866]

I understand how a torque converter and an automated gearbox works...
I am calling BOTH autos...
With a manual, you can be gentle and rev match when you shift. The auto gearbox uses computers to blip and cut the throttle for you. The reason I say manual gear box lasts longer is because of the fact that you can double downshift to manually match the speed EVERY LITTLE piece.

[@BadDFWDrivers]

that one looked almost planned and really controlled. 3:30 was the one where he was going to fast for the turn and pretty much had to floor it during the drift so that he doesn't fly off the right side.

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

That man is a genius... not a maniac.

[@DeDeexit]

Porsche's got "natural grip" and Ferrari's got "electronic grip"... That's the thing.

[@yom1983]

dude 2:18 awsome drift!!

[@tsujimasen]

You shouldn't left-foot brake unless you were raised to brake with your left foot from a young age, like go-kart drivers.
That was the advice given to me by a fellow racer after telling him I experimented with left foot braking at Lime Rock Park at the final corner before the main straight. The weight shifting wasn't as smooth as when I used my right foot and when I applied the power, I started spinning.
Left foot braking removes you from your comfort zone, unless you've done it for 20+ years.

[@kapoof2]

besides, left foot braking is only used in fwds and sometimes rally cars

[@nmday]

Guys, at least read the magazines. The F430 transmission has an automated clutch. I own a std F430 and have driven an F1 on track. There are 2 reasons F1 better for lap times. 1 - flat spot in power curve is 150 ms VS 500ms with a manual. 2 - driver can focus on important things like trail-braking, turn-in, not killing car with missed shift, etc. BTW: there's an "Auto" button that has the ECU do the shifting, but Tsuchiya used paddles - AND blipped the throttle to assist downshifts.

[@Relayer6a]

Please remember this is a real fast STREET CAR not a race car. The compromises needed to make it acceptable as a street car are going to limit it in this setting. He's scared because the car is outrunning it's suspension components (and most likely it's frame as well).

[@Juxtahposed]

It does have a clutch...just no clutch pedal since the paddle shifters do it for you.

[@ARoyalFocker]

Tsuchiya Rocks!!!I wish they'd do a show like BM here in the US. Too bad lawyers would shoot it down.

[@krakheadmon]

Its obvious you could see he was pushing that car as much as he could handle ... at those speeds with stability off on a course like that?
... hats off to him, ill never do that unless an ambulance is keeping up with me.

[@Gummby69]

yeah u see his foot twitchs when hes on the brakes like hes about to blip the throtle

[@monkeyboy866]

Well, left foot braking is to make it so that you can quickly toggle the throttle and brake really quickly. It is to quickly balance the car in a fast slalom.

[@tsujimasen]

Porsche GT2 drivers do it all the time in the ALMS. There's a video clip floating around on the net of a race at Sebring where it shows the footwork of one of the drivers; it shows him performing heel-toe downshifting as well as showing him stabbing the brake with his left foot to stabilize the car on the straight. You should watch it, it's pretty informational.

[@yukiotakata]

Its a question of costume but for some people modulate the brake with the left foot is hard to do whitout compromise the performance.

[@DionysisX]

couldn't agree more with ya...they all say why he didn't use his left foot blah blah blah...like they're faster than him because they can use both of their legs...each driver has a certain style and sometimes their style comes in contrast with some driving rules...but when you're up to the level of Keichi, that doesn't really matter...
