Many people who know more about cars than you and me (people who admire cars from all continents, or have designed sports cars) and have driven many different types of cars as motor journalism admire and desire many different types of Japanese cars, a car is not just hp or how fast it is from one point to another, is its sensitivity, maneuverability, its sensations at the wheel, and in addition, the Japanese cars of the 90s were the opposite of tuned, they were limited by law, and still surprised, even so a car like the NSX made a lap in Nurburgring very good with the tire technology of those years being on par with other European sports cars, because for companies with so much money it is very easy to make cars with great HP, but not all can make a good car, and also that is a good car? It depends on the purpose. Japanese brands won, win and will win Le man's, Formula 1, rally, etc, why? Because they know how to make sports cars, they gave to make racing cars, and that is an undeniable fact, and they have a lot of money, in addition, the purpose of the car is vital when judging it, a Miata is made to be fun and agile in curves and perfectly fulfills that role. Gordon Murray, main creator of the McLaren F1, was inspired and praised the NSX, and was in collaboration with Honda initially to make the engine of the McLaren F1 but there was no agreement, and it makes sense, Honda towards F1 engines for McLaren and today Honda engines win in F1. Also, what is the purpose? A Bugatti Chiron is made to go sideways on a gravel curve at high speed? No, and it doesn't matter because it's not for that, nor is doing that an inferior car thing, it's just different, they're not going to use a Bugatti in the WRC. Japanese brands know how to make sports, exquisite cars like the lfa, and also cars with personality like the z series and the supercar gtr, each with a different purpose fulfills its respective objective Today in general the culture of motoring were governments put more restrictive laws of Emissions. To me personally I like cars from all continents, but I see more admirable knowing how to handle a car to have one in specific, like this amazing Japanese driver, Keiichi Tsuchiya.
@@kairos861 The only reason they even managed such crazy laptimes at the Nürb was because they used the best race driver they could find and modified components including race tires to beat manufacturers that weren't even trying to make fast laptimes 🥱 personally I love seeing the "hp isn't everything" argument when they make a crazy laptime but at the same time a car like the R33 GTR can't even beat a 993 Carrera 4S around the track. Inconvenience? I think not. Racing championships literally have nothing to do with this, even LeMans is merely a d*ck measuring contest for who can spend the most money on a car that can only be driven by a professional driver and only to an extent that it doesn't overheat or blow up on the track. And even if Gordon Murray took inspiration from it, the only thing the F1 might have taken with it into production was the low drag coefficiency because it's literally designed for anything but tight cornering. When even the Japanese can't drive the car properly around the track you know it's not the driver. But to stay on the topic, I actually drove the F430 before a few weeks ago, and let's say it definitely handles well even on tight roads. Sure I didn't drive it like I stole it but I still enjoyed myself. Just because a car might doesn't perform well on funny Japanese mountain road doesn't mean it isn't superior everywhere else.
Thanks for this! Not everyday you get to see a F430 get absolutely trashed about, in the Touge! Also, this man, this man just have to try drifting every car he gets. haha, mad levels of car control.
I’d say that any pro drivers who’ve been in the mountains quite often can drive like that, not to remove Keiichi san exploits but touge is basically driving like a madman on mountains roads, any hillclimber can do that .
Nah almost no way a touge driver, even a hillclimb driver could drive wildly and play with the car like Tsuchiya does. If you say old f1 drivers or rally drivers then id probably agree on that
"All electronic disengaged" , sometimes I feel that a carburated engine would be the better option to feel the driving and connect with car, also would be easy and cheap to mantein .
it seems like japanese people just have this incorrigible racism in their DNA. What did Tsuchiya think? That japan makes the fastest cars? Italian engineers are just as good as japanese ones. even better. ridiculous.
Still power sliding and losing control still occur in racing, and rallying/rally cross still involves drifting. Drift do help motorsports driver in improving control in steering
Weight of his balls bring traction to the front tires
This video was uploaded in 2006. Got recommended in 2023.
You’ll drive this yet you won’t ride the Corvette foo traction Control
Guys I think it’s fast
I want an entire series of Tsuchia just reviewing cars on the touge xd
Wtf did I just watch , that is insane how is that even possible that guy is a demon or alien?
You see this, JDM fanboys? This is what REAL speed looks like.
You should only pursue speed and hit the wall.
@@user-mr6hy1iw2v It worked on any other track so far 🤷♂

@@kairos861 Fact that Gordon Murray was Honda employees in F1 but Mclaren joined with Honda
I cant stop watching this. Seeing someone do something so well is utterly mesmerising. Wish I could drive as well as he can.

What show is this from and where can I watch more of it than just these snippets
Its called best motoring
@@theholysmite9935 thanks!
One mistakes is expensive mistake
What a legend
That skills tho
I know he knows what he’s doing but i still feel like he’s about to crash it. Mad skills.
Soon this is gona be the everyone's recommendation.
Just got recommend after 15 years later 😳
Thanks for this! Not everyday you get to see a F430 get absolutely trashed about, in the Touge! Also, this man, this man just have to try drifting every car he gets. haha, mad levels of car control.
What road/track is this?
This is how I drive on back roads on my 2002 mazda protege
I’d say that any pro drivers who’ve been in the mountains quite often can drive like that, not to remove Keiichi san exploits but touge is basically driving like a madman on mountains roads, any hillclimber can do that .
lol no
Nah almost no way a touge driver, even a hillclimb driver could drive wildly and play with the car like Tsuchiya does. If you say old f1 drivers or rally drivers then id probably agree on that
@@theholysmite9935 agreed
Great car and amazing driver
imagine going on a sunday drive and you see this guy
First person to hoon a Ferrari down touge fast
And thats how you really test and show what a Ferrari is capable of. You cant do this with a bulky tank heavy BMW M5
2:17 Full on Tokyo Drift.
I can't even guess how many times he's done this run. He has the road memorized.
imagine the type of shots they would get if they had drone cams back in the day
.
I'm quite surprised to see him drive with his right foot only
Wow that's some serious skill, not only did he slap this around the track but he slayed that track like he was out to kill it...
He’s always throwing cars around it I’m sure he could lap it in his sleep. He is to the touge what Sabine Schmitz was to the Nurburgring.
If only the car's buyers would drive them like this...
I remember watching this years ago in Best Motoring.. I think its some of the best driving ever recorded in human history.. mindblowing.
That's real driving what a talent
So... is it fast?
Do you know touge?
@@user-mr6hy1iw2v within the 2 years since the comment was posted I have perfected the togue now. I have come to the conclusion that, yes it is fast.
Man that Ferrari sounds just like a 4age to me. Wtf
if the 4age was eager and willing
No left foot breaking? 🤔
"All electronic disengaged" , sometimes I feel that a carburated engine would be the better option to feel the driving and connect with car, also would be easy and cheap to mantein .
2:15
It is wonderful to see Keiichi bring the F430 close to the limit! :)
1:28 "almost scary"
cool！！！！！！！！！！！！
2:16 maannnnnn
This feels like something straight out of group b.
I feel the need
One mistake and he's dead.
速いのは上手いからってのが如実に感じるon board
That is some serious driving. Pushing a Ferrari on a tight narrow track like that requires skill and he’s got plenty of it.
it seems like japanese people just have this incorrigible racism in their DNA. What did Tsuchiya think? That japan makes the fastest cars? Italian engineers are just as good as japanese ones. even better. ridiculous.
Ridiculous, even ferrari have fallen against Mercedes in f1 now and even slower than honda
the fuck?
what?
Grip is faster. Drifting is for show, grip is for racing.
Still power sliding and losing control still occur in racing, and rallying/rally cross still involves drifting. Drift do help motorsports driver in improving control in steering
Depends actually If you are racing in rally, then Drift does involved
