have you got that onboard video of a supra and you were racing him with your fd, i ve been told its the supra from the same garage maybee you can post the video for us cos i cant find it again. thanks
Who ever was driving really trusts that car. Beautifully aggressive lap. And to those who say this is sped up... I disagree completely, Ive seen myself respond that fast while driving. This guy is in the ZONE. I bet he felt completely alive after that one.
Sweet waste gated raptor jesus that thing sounds fucking awesome. fantastic car and great driving, everything i see from Twins Turbo is just lunacy, keep it up
Yes when is is perfectly matched it will not give you forward momentum, but it will not help your braking at all. Hear is a some quotes form 'Drive to Win' by Carrol Smith - "It's one thing to downshift 4th to 3rd 2nd in 7.3 seconds or so, but it is a lot different to go from 6th to 5th to 4th to 2nd in 2.44 seconds. This is assuming the driver is modulating braking to the maximum the tires will accept and perfectly blipping the throttle and matching revs without locking tire or over reving....
And that neutral effect on vehicle speed thing you mentioned would only apply if you wanted a neutral speed, we want braking force when slowing down. Read "Drive to win" chapter 4 and you will understand.
5. You just put your car in gear with revs up, when your trying to slow down, right. (assuming your still under braking) 6. What does that do? that gives the car forward momentum when your trying to slow down. Exactly my point, thanks for the detailed explanation. You can convince yourself all day long dude, but facts are facts. Your step #3 is my point: when you release the clutch with motor is revved up you will get forward momentum. Its how cars work, the gas make them go forward.
Not sure if you've all taken this into account but cars that have been lightened , are on slicks, and have very hard suspension, twitch all the time. Comparing it to your Civic on snow tires, GR2's and Eibach street springs is not reason to call this poster out for falsification.
@supersevenn thats just his style. he used this car the same year road racing as well. this one and his other race car won multiple races. whatever works...
Man I won't not have picked that as a turbo motor. I thought PP/JP as there was no lag at all. I guess the two turbos work well together. Congrats on a great built. Now let me drive it!
I'm not saying that they broke the lap record by speeding up the video. I'm saying that they simply sped the video up. People's heads don't shake that violently when going over bumps in any track.
I tried to, "buy a clue man!" I went on the MoTeC Website to see what Managed the Engine. And it says it can handle a triple rotor. So i was curious if it had 3 rotors. But apparently you didn't get the clue i was just asking.haha
@ProjectCerebrus This is a time attack car. I dont know if you have seen a time attack session in person, but they dont give a fuck what their exhaust sounds like, as long as it performs! I mean, the car has no dash, far from a streetcar. And remember, Nascar only makes LEFT turns..
What I am saying is that, to me, rowing down the gears in a 'standard' non sequential gearbox is both a waste of time, effort and a detriment to efficient braking. To me the engine is for making the car go forward and the brakes are for slowing it down." That is the piece of literature that got my head turning about this whole downshifting thing. Carrol mentions the heard not felt thing on the previous page.
shmately I think you are confusing clutch dumps with rev matched downshifts. A proper rev matched shift prevents the motor from sending or receiving any torque from the rear wheels on clutch engagement. Its other words its has an overall neutral effect on vehicle speed. A good shift is heard not felt. This allows the brakes to apply a constant force to the tires and body rather than the disturbing jerks un-matched downshifts cause.
All this does not mean downshifting is not fun as hell and can't slow us down at a comparable rate to straight braking. It is just less effcent from a racing standpoint. You get less effective modulation of the brake because the same foot is rocking the clutch too. You risking over reving the engine, damaging the clutch, locking tires and spinning among other things. Probably why they use sequentials And I can't stress this enough. NONE of this downshifting talk applies to a one gear downshift
Nice owning these cars the return investment sucks so does the bumps and theres always a faster one and people always trying to race you at the lights, but then again theres nothing like driving one to work and from work knowing this is what i did
What logic would that be? This is obviously pertaining to when the car is in gear. Your in gear when you downshift not in park dude, when ever your in gear and you push the gas, what happens? The car goes forward. Even if you are counteracting this forward momentum with the brakes(heel&toe) you are still hindering your braking force by giving it gas. Check some of my videos of me drifting my 350z, I may not be some hotshot like you, but I have been a pro drifter for the past 5 years.
A common misconception about this rev-matching/heel toe subject. ANYTIME you touch the gas you are moving the car FORWARD, not really what you want to be doing under braking, right? Go read some basic racing books and quit watching videos. I am not saying either will slow you down better, it's more of a driver preference thing. Fast does not have to be perfect or pretty, you want to judge someone's driving? watch drifting. This is racing where the clock and the checkered flag is the only judge.
Congratulation!! Eric and Marc at Twins Turbo on putting together a really badass car.
Congratulation to Jack Mardikian and everyone else involved on this team! You guys are top notch!
anyone know what song this is?!?!? great driving and music in all your video's jack!
great video, great lap. i see motul stickers on your car. what oil do you use? does motul have specific oil for rotary?
have you got that onboard video of a supra and you were racing him with your fd, i ve been told its the supra from the same garage maybee you can post the video for us cos i cant find it again. thanks
That is 10/10ths driving ! Well done. Great track for testing the limits of the car as there is friggin nothing to hit.
The looks of the car, the sound, the level of driving...intense. Awesome piece of footage.
Sinescent:
can you tell us what title for the song is?
Now that's how you setup & drive a RX7!!! It's good to see how effective the RX7 is as a track weapon
Does it have 3 rotors? It runs an M800 MoTeC Engine Management System which is made for 3 rotor mazdas.
that thing is wicked! good job twins turbo!
Who ever was driving really trusts that car. Beautifully aggressive lap.
And to those who say this is sped up... I disagree completely, Ive seen myself respond that fast while driving. This guy is in the ZONE. I bet he felt completely alive after that one.
Sweet waste gated raptor jesus that thing sounds fucking awesome.
fantastic car and great driving, everything i see from Twins Turbo is just lunacy, keep it up
I like how you can watch his feet and the road at the same time without a split screen!!
Where'd you come up with that one?
Yes when is is perfectly matched it will not give you forward momentum, but it will not help your braking at all. Hear is a some quotes form 'Drive to Win' by Carrol Smith - "It's one thing to downshift 4th to 3rd 2nd in 7.3 seconds or so, but it is a lot different to go from 6th to 5th to 4th to 2nd in 2.44 seconds. This is assuming the driver is modulating braking to the maximum the tires will accept and perfectly blipping the throttle and matching revs without locking tire or over reving....
1 word WOW!!!!!!!!!
If you watch the drivers hands closely, they shake a little faster than normal. The drivers head movement is a bit odd also.
And that neutral effect on vehicle speed thing you mentioned would only apply if you wanted a neutral speed, we want braking force when slowing down.
Read "Drive to win" chapter 4 and you will understand.
absolutely amazing car, I want my rotary to sound just like this.
5. You just put your car in gear with revs up, when your trying to slow down, right. (assuming your still under braking)
6. What does that do? that gives the car forward momentum when your trying to slow down. Exactly my point, thanks for the detailed explanation.

The car has a water or oil leak from the turbo. It actually ended up catching on fire right after THIS lap! The car was saved and repaired.
my thoughts exactly. you can see the entry getting squirly without heel n toe. Thats the diference between time attack driver and road racing drivers.
Nice throttle pickup in the turns, : )
@supersevenn thats just his style. he used this car the same year road racing as well. this one and his other race car won multiple races. whatever works...
What is this music
Man I won't not have picked that as a turbo motor. I thought PP/JP as there was no lag at all. I guess the two turbos work well together. Congrats on a great built. Now let me drive it!
Put it right there, when and where you want it.
I'm not saying that they broke the lap record by speeding up the video. I'm saying that they simply sped the video up. People's heads don't shake that violently when going over bumps in any track.

Of course it looks doctored. The Twins Turbo Road Racing team is at the top of the game. There is a reason a lot of guys are afraid of that RX7.
reving that high with a turbo?! thats a nice ass set up
listen to shifts, if this is sped up, then the shifts are pretty epically slow
cant wait to get my fd already rotary power

now thats a niice rx7 :P my friend has it, but stock.. my father used to have rx8

Amazing
I like how the video is sped up.
Nasty, nasty nasty.
I want one ...
The video has not been sped up, so obviously there's something wrong with your visionary judgment.
why not heel toe? corner entry would be much smoother...
fire

the driver does not use heel and toe
Rotor Fantastic!!!!.
2 people saw this video while waiting for the bus.
haha love the smoke at the end
Nice owning these cars the return investment sucks so does the bumps and theres always a faster one and people always trying to race you at the lights, but then again theres nothing like driving one to work and from work knowing this is what i did
what the heck are you guys crying about?? COOL VIDEO!!!
Apparently Jack Mardikian has heel and toe'd so much that he now has a missing toe. I heard his heel well it's all messed up.
;)
bellissimo
scary fast...
What logic would that be? This is obviously pertaining to when the car is in gear.
Your in gear when you downshift not in park dude, when ever your in gear and you push the gas, what happens?

Holy s***...Nuf said
No its a 13b
LMAO .. you made me laugh!!
How about this is a Fuckin RACE CAR!!!!!
Yea, he broke the lap record by speeding up the video... funny guy
He did, but that hurts the engine
and he still beat the lap record... heh.
who said he cant take it on a mountain pass? haha
That's a funny comment...
Nice car. Needs a driver tho
wait do you seriously think that or are you just kidding? I bet you don't drive manual, or you don't drive it well.
oh fcken rotary, x'ing out of this crap. lmao
A common misconception about this rev-matching/heel toe subject. ANYTIME you touch the gas you are moving the car FORWARD, not really what you want to be doing under braking, right?

hahah wow typical youtube comment.
