I like how he keeps on upshifting and then downshifting a nano second later instead of just running out the revs. Shows how natural gear changes are to him, like breathing. This guy came out of his mother's womb in 3rd, sideways. 👌
@Power 2 Weight it is unnecessary and not great for the drivetrain. Being comfortable enought with a manual isnt really that great of a compliment, if you done it for a long time its muscle memory. That final gearshit for another 1 sec of acceleration gives you nothing.
Who are you Maybe a profi race car driver will say he was going for speed and aeshetics. Exit corners with a little less throttle, to not to slide that much. But okay forget this. No lap is 100%. And I do not know the car's behaviour too. But he do.
Strakos0 also this car I think has a solid rear axle so in specific cases it’s faster to drive aggressively and oversteer the car than to understeer it
He is also one of my heros. I remember that I bought the „drift bible“ and watched it again an again. And also the togue battles. I just was smiling when I saw F&F Tokyo Drift and he was part of a small scene and my friends asked me: who was this guy?
On the inside, it looked like he was having difficulty if you were new to drifting, but when you look at the outside highlights, it is just downright godlike
when most people get understeer, they panic and slam on the brakes, usually crashing. when Tsuchiya gets understeer, he dabs the brake for a split second, shifting weight to the front wheels, and then sharply throttles on, pushing the back end forward, and forcing the front wheels to grip, and then initiating a dance between both ends of the car as they fight each other to get through the corner first. amazing.
@@fim1344 not this aggressively. This man genuinely appears to drive like he's playing a video game and has his way with the car and road as if crashing is a no-consequence thing. You usually only see that level of agression sans-grip in hazardous environments from rally drivers.
@@Shakshuka69 >drive like he's playing a video game You can really see this from the clip where he drives the f430 through gunsai. Absolutely stabbing the brakes, throttle and having really jerky steering just to get a reaction out of the car. It seems so unclean and unprofessional, even when doing time attacks you'll sometimes see this side of his. Also, he really abuses the hell out of the cars he drives. I think even in this video he just straight up over-revs on one of the downshifts like it doesn't matter. He embodies the spirit of a street racer so well
Gran turismo has failed me...😭 i need to buy xbox with forza now to use my favorite cars now or i just stick to gt5 and gt6 but gt sport??? God... theyre all about racing and giving the gamer the best realistic experience but i feel like it left alot of us jdm 90’s fans were let down when they took out a huge portion of their domestic cars and only leaving prototypes and concepts and a few select favs of the domestic so yeah failed me! Still love and cherish the old games all the way back to the ps1 tho lol😍
Which one is this? It's at Ebisu, right? Edit: it's been 5 years, y'all, I have been told that it's the Gunsai touge at least once a year since then. I don't need to be corrected any more, thanks.
I doubt so, he seems to be going for a casual stroll here and takes the car sideways just for funsies, with jerky steering at the start and nanosecond upshifts
@@QuickNickGT it's not whining, he could've get extra km/h to through the turns a gear higher but went for letting the revs slam the limit so it was more of an test drive than an actual time attack
Looking at the wheel it’s pretty obvious when the car is sliding. The reason you didn’t notice is because he is essentially power sliding or on power oversteer (what ever you want you call it) which doesn’t cause a sudden unbalance of the car like handbrake or clutch kick entries, it’s a gradual loss of grip.
Yep, slip angle, get that nose pointed at apex as soon as possible, you get it by braking late, and over-all increases amount of time spent accelerating. It's why his current AE86, set up for more grip, and having more power, is 5 seconds slower on the SAME course.
*For the ones wondering if he invented Drift:* "By driving hard on all types of surfaces and conditions he learned car control at the limits. In 1977 he debuted in the Fuji Freshman series, this was followed by several amateur racing events. 1984 saw him getting a drive with the Advan AE86/1984 Corolla GT-S. The Drift King was born. In this series his technique of using drift (sliding the rear of the car out) in a downhill corner yielded a better corner speed and improved lap times. This technique is what made him the Drift King not as most believe that he was first in the drift scene."
Is there anything more I can read on that? The notion that sliding it's faster than grip is intriguing and I'd love to read more on it is your could point me whether
tsuchiya invented drift because he always won at street racing, so the spectators became bored, and yea tsuchiya racing with sliding every corner to make it exciting, cmiiw, sorry my bad english
@@tonedeafprd he didnt invented drifting, he made it popular worldwide.. The founder of drifting was named kunimitsu takahashi (im not sure of the first name) and he was a racer in the 70s he was like popular at the time for doing it but it was not named yet and keiichi tsuchiya saw takahashi do some little slides on corners to control it properly and he was particularly interested by it.. And he did what kunimitsu did but tsuchiya made it last long after the corner while at takahashi, barely understeers
1:32 seems a very dangerous section, especially for those a bit more inexperienced with RWD, but Tsuchiya-san has been doing this since 1977 (when his _professional_ career started. He got his experience street racing and doing this for real). At 1:35 you see him cut the steering wheel to the left suddenly - this is because he was going over bumps, and he felt the rear get lighter and start to shift to the left which is the first tell-tale sign of snap oversteer. Tsuchiya-san corrected for this in a split second and actually used the weight transfer to prepare for the next corner. Absolute legend of a driver.
I've watched all of Tsuchiya's best motoring and hot version content, but I still can't get over how much this mirrors initial D. I know Tsuchiya was an advisor and even possibly the motivation for the series, but he's unreal.
hopefully after this, people can finally understand, the ae86 was never a drift car but infact a highly praised track car which was capable of swinging its tail if you wanted it to
Ken Block is an amazing driver and has mad skills. But let him drive a RWD car without ABS. Let's see if he can still manage to do the stuff that he is doing with fully built AWD cars that he drives. Keichii Tsuchiya can drive different types of car set-up and different road conditions and he still manages to maximize every cars full potential
Nah he aint' that good. I'm not even a fully trained racer but I would be confident of bringing it to a draw at least if I were to race him. His lines are messy and if you listen to the engine, he's pushing it to the extent it might blow up any time.
Bruh, either you're a troll or I don't know what xD I mean you're trying to be realistic but you're not even in his league, you're like far far below it...
+lolxx exactly... he brings out the best of a car. You can race him all you want and say he has messy lines. One thing he's mountains ahead of amateurs is being able to adapt to any situation. Put you or anyone else in identical cars on this course and you'll be seeing tail lights.
Lol Not good lines what are you high? its not like every battle he going to go out an give it his all he also trys to put on a Good show an if you think By not fully trained you could beat him or draw Go look up the Actual Racing titles an different Motorsport genres he has raced under, Go look up the 2016 WTAC Him driving a 480rwhp Ae86 that he got 1 day to Practice in before Going an driting it, while not even touching the Ebrake
Truly a master of his craft. What a joy to watch. I tried to take after his driving style by watching but with an old awd Subaru impreza that had maybe 100hp. It's amazing what a slow car can do when you really push the limits. Thank you DK for influencing me to be a better driver!
This will never be recreated. No helmet, tight course with trees and harsh banks on either side and a car that has zero capability of handling a crash. Just pure talent and bravery.
I'm watching videos of this man drive with nearly 20years and still to this day gives me goosebumps. What a legend of a man . Big respect from your Irish fans Tsuchiya 🌍❤
outofspace2014 that's funny, not really...mustangs are awesome cars, just takes skill to drive one, most mustang owners are kids who think they're cool and don't have experience or skill and try to drift out of a car meet and end up crashing, my guess is that mustangs over powered for their price
It looked like at the start with cold tires he was just flicking to initiate the rotation, but as the tires warmed up he was able to push harder and the car was more stable with a little understeer. So much to learn from in just this clip.
You can see hes not drifting in certain areas but slightly correcting the car making it slightly over steer in a controlled manner other than going into a full sideways drift, the fact he knows when to downshift and upshift without burning his clutch or breaking his gearbox is incredible.
@@arinb.756 i drifted both, awd is harder to get in to a drift, but very easy to hold, rwd is easy to get in to a drift, but hard to hold. block isn't a good racing driver, and not a good drifter. yes, he is faster then 99% of people, but keitchi is faster then 99,999% of people, DK is an alien, the rest of the racing drivers are just trying to be him.
@@gripfk8 that is drifting, awd drifting... block knows what he is doing, he just is not the best in racing, but a lot of racers are not good drifters. grip and drift are two different things.
Arin B. But they don’t drift because they’re assigned on how they’re supposed to drive I’m not saying they can’t drift you brought up a new different topic I’m only talking about ken block and not to put racers who drive on tracks that don’t drift because that’s not what they do
donblub well it’s 50/50 on my case because I’ve watched all of his montages of him drifting he does powerslide a little bit but he still manages to drift also I’m sorry for not being specific I was typing this when I was bored because I was studying for a upcoming test
Kasi Elango seriously! like im an American and i think this. why the fuck would you have a nascar driver drive a real track?? every time i see him drive its just cringe, he has to slow way down for every corner because he doesn't know how to attack it. it seems like a rally or formula one driver or drifter would have been much more well suited. I dont wanna talk to much shit, cause he's probably still a better driver that me, but its kinda boring to watch someone just slow way the fuck down in corners and gun it in the straightaways. Tsuchiya in that show would have been pure car guy porn.
The gearing of that 86 doesn’t match a lot of gunsai. Tsuchiya is having to shift between 3rd and 4th a LOT to try to keep the engine in a usable power-band.
The hackirouku engine sound is one of the most iconic sounds from my childhood and even until now. If I had a lot of money I'd buy and have one tuned even if I didn't know how to drift. I'd just use it daily :D
I like how he keeps on upshifting and then downshifting a nano second later instead of just running out the revs. Shows how natural gear changes are to him, like breathing. This guy came out of his mother's womb in 3rd, sideways. 👌
Then downshifted to second and rev-matched, so he could do a wall tap on the doctor's hand
that transmission sure is having a hard day...
I think it's more like this car is so slow, there is no need to go on the limiter. Always plenty of time for each corner, lol.
@Power 2 Weight it is unnecessary and not great for the drivetrain. Being comfortable enought with a manual isnt really that great of a compliment, if you done it for a long time its muscle memory. That final gearshit for another 1 sec of acceleration gives you nothing.
I saw that too. To me it would have been better to just ease off the gas a little for that second
This is the ideal driver. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Who are you
Maybe a profi race car driver will say he was going for speed and aeshetics. Exit corners with a little less throttle, to not to slide that much.
But okay forget this. No lap is 100%. And I do not know the car's behaviour too. But he do.

Not required at those speeds 💀🥴
@@fortunate9714he knows, don't worry. He drifts the corners for your entertainment.
Ae86 is raw af, it keeps the driver working for it and it rewards good driving. Plus, its solid axle in the rear like trucks.

The rear slides very lightly, it's the ideal drift as it doesn't lose speed and gain cornering angles. The exit has a perfect grip.
that style of driving its called slip angle btw

*muffled Itsuki screaming and Iketani fainting in the distance*
I KNOW RIGHT? If I didn't know he was as good at it as he is, and I was there I'd be "oh shit you're gonna kill us both!"
@@xyzw888 lol
Wooooooooooow!!!! Unbelievable!! Love his driving!!
You can see hes not drifting in certain areas but slightly correcting the car making it slightly over steer in a controlled manner other than going into a full sideways drift, the fact he knows when to downshift and upshift without burning his clutch or breaking his gearbox is incredible.
Legend says this guys never missed a gear.
I can feel the eurobeat flowing through my veins
the real does not wear a helmet but wears sunglasses
Dk does not need 1000hp and awd
Better than ken block
@@arinb.756 i drifted both, awd is harder to get in to a drift, but very easy to hold, rwd is easy to get in to a drift, but hard to hold.
block isn't a good racing driver, and not a good drifter. yes, he is faster then 99% of people, but keitchi is faster then 99,999% of people, DK is an alien, the rest of the racing drivers are just trying to be him.
Arin B. Ken Block has a highly tuned awd which he slides than people call drifting
@@gripfk8 that is drifting, awd drifting...
block knows what he is doing, he just is not the best in racing, but a lot of racers are not good drifters. grip and drift are two different things.
Arin B. But they don’t drift because they’re assigned on how they’re supposed to drive I’m not saying they can’t drift you brought up a new different topic I’m only talking about ken block and not to put racers who drive on tracks that don’t drift because that’s not what they do
donblub well it’s 50/50 on my case because I’ve watched all of his montages of him drifting he does powerslide a little bit but he still manages to drift also I’m sorry for not being specific I was typing this when I was bored because I was studying for a upcoming test
Ol'School ITB Racing 🔥♥️
The fact that hes doing this with shades on is insane
100% mans got steeze
man, he should replace the American on The Grand Tour
Kasi Elango seriously! like im an American and i think this. why the fuck would you have a nascar driver drive a real track?? every time i see him drive its just cringe, he has to slow way down for every corner because he doesn't know how to attack it. it seems like a rally or formula one driver or drifter would have been much more well suited. I dont wanna talk to much shit, cause he's probably still a better driver that me, but its kinda boring to watch someone just slow way the fuck down in corners and gun it in the straightaways. Tsuchiya in that show would have been pure car guy porn.
nick highland Agreed! You absolutely nailed it!
nope, if you dont see the huge difference between Best motoring, hot version and such and Grand Tour/Top gear I am sorry
You are a fucking genius ...
Amazon should hire you
CeSayrise loooool XD
true perfection in every way: the driving skills, the road and the car and it's tuning
Chris its*
Keiichi never disappoints. Man is a god
“That, was truly godlike driving.”
The gearing of that 86 doesn’t match a lot of gunsai.
Tsuchiya is having to shift between 3rd and 4th a LOT to try to keep the engine in a usable power-band.
There was a video where they modded his 86 to replace the 5th gear with a "3.5" gear
@@rabidbasher in this video the car doesn't have the 3.5 gear.
I’ll be honest. I’d came back with my pants wet if I ride shotgun with this legend. Scary man😱
"I FEEL LIKE HAVING A SMOKE." *Casually take out cigarette pack from shirt pocket and taps a stick out while in the middle of a high speed drift*
What a legend. One of the reason for introducing me to jdm cars and anime.💯
This dude is the living legend of Initial D. We fans can die happily
this is sensational
The hackirouku engine sound is one of the most iconic sounds from my childhood and even until now. If I had a lot of money I'd buy and have one tuned even if I didn't know how to drift. I'd just use it daily :D
i can feel the Eurobeat in my soul
Once in a while I come back to this video just to listen the 86 screams.
He doesn't even need an angle kit. What a legend!
Watching Dori Dori drive is actually hypnotic
what a legend... I would kill my ass to ever talk with him
Keiichi Tsuchiya essentials:
A car full of gas and a sunglass.... Respect...
Thats doridori, man he's an amazing driver, the way he is one with the car on the track is just great to watch!
The Real Initial D - Keep your anime rendition for your bedroom stories...
Amazing
