Please don't put that toilet VW among racer cars!! It belongs to the farms,not tracks.
@@eleonik76 correct the only true race car here awd r32 belongs in its own racing circuit away from inferior FF and FR layouts. Awd is always superior fallowed by FR finally the toilets known as FF should not ever be considered race cars.
@@epoxeclipse What makes one car superior to other is not it's drivetrain layout,but it's heritage and engineering. Nobody associates VW with sport or high performance engines. No child grows with VW poster in his bedroom. When you say Honda,you think of high revving,reliable, supremely engineered engines. VTEC is legendary. What is VW known for? Bland,dull,crappy cars with broken and smoking engines,crappy gearboxes and electronics. Even if you got Golf RR32,end of day it's still Golf.
@@eleonik76 I know guys in the old school 80s rabbit game, extremely light quick cars. One guy I work with has a newer golf turbo and it's a sweet ride. Where I'm at quite a VW fallowing. I am drive train biased, I can't stand FF layout it's trash I don't care who makes it. I live in a snowy state. Awd is boss, rwd is boss both are fun and 4x4 trucks will allow you to play in the mud and snow. Someone from Florida wouldn't ever understand that you can't drive a truck in ND oil fields that's 2wd. In the mountains where I live you want awd in the winters its a game changer.
@@epoxeclipse lmao the fastest 2wd rally cars are fwd, i live in finland and have a s13 200sx but what you're saying about fwd cars is just plain dumb
Track races are always more interesting to watch than drag races
I like to watch both. I'm good at track and touge, but I suck at drag racing so I love to watch people drag race.
+Dann0343 true that.drag is 10 seconds or so of acceleration, track can be hours of acceleration. Stock rx-8 is faster than a s2000. I baught an rx-8 because i really liked the 2 extra seats, after a couple of test drives i assumed, that the rx-8 was actually the faster car. nice to see it proven by experts.
also nice to see what volkswagens 4wd are actually worth, reudction of center of gravity, thats nice. a understeery alfa with the same engine beat it tough. a1.8 na honda too. you might forget about the 2.0 and 1.3 cars that where so much faster that the cameras had troubles catching them,... volkswagens are overpriced pieces of shit, that's an inconvenient truth, they're even worse than alfas.
***** also the r32 is heavy and I wouldn't say over priced. The r32 has a vr6. If you have actual experience with vr6 motors you'd know how beast that thing can be. But the awd system on the r32 ruins it. It's better to run it up against Subaru wrx sti and evos. Or just run it on a drag strip or freeway. You can't race a 3,000lb. Car against a bunch of 2,000lb. Cars and expect it to out corner them on a track with no long straight aways. Honestly this is for pure entertainment, if you want to learn about cars go out and race don't just sit and watch UA-cam videos. Anyone with real car experience knows the fwd 1.8t or vr6 would've been the perfect match for these types of cars.
sorry, i have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Where i live (about 100 km south of vienna) there is no quarter mile of streight road, it's all twisty and entertaining.
+Gehtdi anschasau where I live the only place to race is the free way and the touge. 90% of the people here do the straight roads. however on the touge the only person I've ever lost to is my dad.
After watching these races it makes me wonder why drag races and left turn nascar are popular in the usa. This is way better.
Sonoma and Watkins Glen are pretty amusing NASCAR races tho.
There is a large number of us that love this type of racing as well. The bug difference is drag racing and Nascar draw lots more sponsors and thus racers who can afford to do it for a living. Don't be fooled into thinking there aren't autocoss events and track days filled with people who love driving
It’s pretty obvious actually. USDM cars were fast in straights and couldn’t handle for shit until recently. People grew up on drag racing muscle cars here, while in Japan they had smaller displacement cars and focused on handling over power.
krooked. I always attributed these things to regional differences, too. I live in Texas and I know of people that hit one of the tollways called "PGBT" and make it their "wangan midnight" because of the long stretches of road.
@@PixelYohan the type of roads available is what i've always felt has been the big difference. people always talk about how US cars cant turn and how well euro/jdm handle. problem is, that handling isnt worth shit in places like kansas lmao. sure, go ahead and gain a second on me at the 2 mile long sweeping curve at the end of the 20 mile straight stretch of road that we just raced down. inversely, the big US car would have alot of trouble on that super narrow euro road. cars are built for their environment
RX8’s are very underrated.. not much torque but one of the most enjoyable cars to drive hard.. real drivers car
I owned 4 of these, still driving an 04 gt, unbeatable driving feeling
@@CedricLevert-lw4fnAnd cornering ability
On my 2nd 8 myself
Type r shows you why honda does so good at mid tracks...good balance of speed,gear ratio and a balanced suspension!
carmelo vargas integra dc5 is the best ❤️
but wasn't the FD2 faster than the DC5? Especially a Mugen RR
ah of course the FD2 is way quicker but wasnt in this race.
@@rubberrocket7620 I've heard DC2 handled better than DC5. Would you say the FD2 handles better than the DC2?
@@KXP70 DC2 has a more desirable suspension, but then you have the advantages of better chassis tech with the DC5. FD has further refinement. Cars naturally get better with all the tech advances, but 90s Honda suspension just does it for me. To be fair though, a McPherson doesn't automatically make it horrible. Leaving my RX-7 and gf's ND Miata to get back into my MR2 makes me wish I had a different suspension. Porsche and BMW have made the suspension work great, but I'm just a guy in my garage. I think all the cars are great for what they are, drive them and pick what you like best.
Hey man thanks for adding the subtitles. I'm starting to love this channel! I love best motoring! :D
Didn't expect the rx8 to keep the lead, thought the s2000 would catch iton the straights. So nice seeing the rx8 in the hands of proper racers
Honestly that driver was very good
@@benfps5654They're all very good
It's strange because in other Tsukuba races RX-8 was in the 1:09.x, 1:10.x and 1.11.x time. And it was passed in main straight by almost all cars S2000, 350Z, Skyline coupe, Integra Type R. So this makes me think either tyres were different, they managed to find the car limit, a matter of driver skills or staged depending on the race. I have 07 RX8 by the way and I love it
RX-8 has a great potential. I love it.
but pos engine
@@destructoidx99 gsl-se housings, rew apex seals, and premix fix that problem
@@aaronleblanc540 or bare with me now swap that junk renesis for 20b single now where talkin
@@destructoidx99 or, instead of ruining the weight ratio that makes the car good, a high compression N/A 13b RE/REW. Still get the power the rx8 truly deserved without cutting corners with reliability and exhaust ports
There's one available locally at $1,200 with a bad engine. It has the oem lip kit and looks stock. The temptation is strong.
love the rx-8 looks great going around the track.
The rx8 is a really great and powerfull car, its underestimated by many because they compare it to the rx7 fd. but let me tell you something, i have both an rx8 and an s2000 , i only upgraded my rx8s exhaust and it is clearly faster than my stock s2000 and other ones i have raced. So its not slow at all!
+AlienHack Alen Kan You sure about that...? Dont get me wrong i love the rx8 but most vidoes ive seen the s2000 dominates the rx8 in straight line speed.
+Celtic Wind i said the rx8 needs exhaust upgrade, full headers, decat and 76mm exhaust. Check my videos that i uploaded in youtube
Rx8 is just way nastier then the s2000.But if you dont like taking care of cars or know much about rotarys then the s2000 is a better fit.
Celtic Wind
By drag racing the rx8, you're missing the entire point of the car. Rx8 can beat cars with way more hp; the power it lacks in the straights, it more than makes up for with capability in the corners.
I absolutely love both cars btw
The vw and alfa romeo are pretty heavy cars, the dc5 put up a good fight
"A spec is not that fast" then it immediately proceeds to pass two cars in the turns: "there's a fast car on the outside". Lol RX8 is a beast in the corners
taking over two heaviest and slowest cars in the race in a a-spec rx8. Guy in stock s2000 was saing that because he caught up with him in the first corner after start :DDD ...so calm down.
@@stanstanxxx rx8 had a bad start and still was way faster than any car here, calm down
@@polbol3272 it didnt, its just slow off the line. It is not way faster, its just 1s per lap faster than stock cabrio s2000.
@@stanstanxxx yeap, excuses for the losers
it just a car, calm down(x2)
@@polbol3272 the only excuse I see is that the rx8 had a bad launch
it's amazing that the RX8 and S2000 performed so closely given that the RX8 is a reasonably practical four-door car
This is new video, have fun. DC5 demonstrates to Golf R32 and Alfa 147(both 3.2 liter 250hp) who is the track king.
thanks for the uploads man!
hey, it seems like this is an older show, do you know what it's called and/or what years was it active?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_Motoring
thanks dude!
Hattori is Slow pilot he don t like risk,Alfa romeo 147 gta is moore fast on the track where is Tsuchiya i want see he driving The Gta on Tsukuba!!!!
+miroshi 4-door r32 weighs much more than the DC5 and probably had worse tires too. So yea. The R32 is still a superior street car lol.
the r32 did well considering it’s PWR(power/weight) and inferior suspension, weight distribution there is also power to drag coefficient (CdA) and power to rolling resistance with are both much better for r32 plus Awd.
Anyway great show!!! 👍
Holy shit I love these videos thank you for posting them
Thanks for the uploads and subbing them great job.
Gran Turismo in real life with a dab of initial D perfect mix
This one was pretty entertaining, definitely not as one sided as some of the previous ones
Love this vid!
Rx8 hasnt the most horsepower nor tourque, but it is indeed the best car on the track!
I drive 2 of them by my own. Dailydriver for 90miles a Day, 150tm so far with 1st motor!
I love the german Wankel motor, and the Mazda design of Rx7 and Rx8. I hope, the 'Rx9' Vision will be released soon. I'll swear, i'll buy one!
I was playing GT4 racing on Tsukuba and while shopping for a new car I opened browser to check specs for RX8 and this video popped up, RX8 with other cars on Tsukuba, wow what a coincidence.
Such a great game!!
I knew the rx8 and s2k would dominate before watching, these things are made for tracks.
I love the commentators voice even though i dont know japanese
Glad I have a turbo DC5 RSX-S here in Canada
Alfa Romeo gta is my personal choice for a daily hot hatch
My choice would be: S2000, Integra, Golf R, Alfa, RX-8.
As an owner of an RSX-S, makes me happy to see the DC5R be able to make a nice comeback against the golf and AR
I love my Rx8 R3 it is very fun !
change ur engine yet ?
@@destructoidx99 As far as I know, with proper care you'll never need a new engine. Only rebuilds. I could be wrong though.
@@nvl2691 all the rx8s i see for sale have changed engines cheaper than a rebuild
@@destructoidx99. Nobody wants to Sell RX-8 when it's still has its own Rotary Engine Working
@@destructoidx99 Sadly a lot of the owners of those Rx8s are idiots and never considered the maintenance. Plus they know fuckall about rebuilding a rotary. When you have the know how, its definitely a great option for fun.
The alfa's pedals look massive!
They are the not that by as they look here, and they are so close together too
海外のコメントが多いのはうれしいなあ☺
Yup, the power of rotary engine.
インテR
コーナー速いなw
軽さが効いているな。
お父さんハミ出してますよwww
RX-8 are so great. quite keen to potentially get one
races like this where you hear the driver talk is actually cool as fuck
i liked hacchyan, he didn't seem to take himself too seriously
7:19 "I'm losing on the straights"
then immediately passes on the straight.
Rx8 is just so well balanced
It's nice watching an Rx-8 win.
I think I recognize this track from grand Turismo.
dc5 ftw!
rotary da best ! ILLUMINATE CONFIRMED
hahaha i never thought of that lol
eah when the rsx had a bad start and at the back of the pack ? hahahahahahahahahahahaha .....sure dude
How long did the RSX get any position? lol
6:40 Sounded like english for a moment "Please be okay."
I’ve been binge watching these videos on this channel. What was the show called? What year did it air and what year was the last episode? Where can I buy these CD’s lol
The show is Best Motoring, it's been airing since the late 1980s and it's still airing to this day, so you'd have a lot of tapes to buy !
Fortunately, they have an official UA-cam channel.
Ok,I am not a race driver,neither I wear a helmet when pushing our Accord Type R on the twists,but few weeks back I was going to a near by village,40 km from Helsinki. I live in Finland. So I was tailgated by Golf R MK6. Never had a race before with one,and had no idea if I can keep up. I have CH1. No mods except K&N sport filter. I didn't just beat him,I literally humiliated him. The Golf was more powerful and was pushing closer behind me on the straights,but not enough to take me over. At 6200+ revs,on third gear,not many cars can keep up with CH1 on a twisty roads. It's so light,and the bursts of power you get from the VTEC and the LSD,just forget about any GTI or R. So my point was that I find it hard to believe how difficult the DC5 and the S2000 were to overtake them R and the Alfa..
6:33 suddenly pikachu
Im curious what mods the rx8 had done to it. Still an awesome race, thanks for uploading!
Celtic Wind
mazdaspeed exhaust.
mazdaspeed cold air intake.
mazdaspeed clutch.
mazdaspeed lightweight flywheel.
mazdaspeed coilovers.
mazdaspeed strut bars front & rear.
mazdaspeed stabilizer bars front & rear.
mazdaspeed recaro seats.
mazdaspeed aerokit.
And mazdaspeed rays wheels.
Celtic Wind I guessing the s2k was stock
Norris Sledge none of the upgrades to the rx8 gave it anymore hp. The Renesis rotary engine produces all the power it can without a turbo from the factory. Bolt on stuff like intakes and exhaust can actually hurt the performance if the rotary so any aftermarket parts make the engine produce less power. Most of the above listed "upgrades" are cosmetic, even the Mazdaspeed intake doesn't add any noticeable power. The designer at Mazda was a race car driver when the rx8 was developed and it really does show. I've seen new mustang 5.0's not be able to keep up with the rx8 on a twisty track, sure the Mustang is faster in a straight line but in the real world the rx8 is a far superior car even to all the other cars in this video, I know the vtec yo fan boys don't like it but it's the truth
until you put a pair of real 225 fronts and 255 rear tires that fit on stock ap2 wheels on the s2000 and then bam, thats the only upgrade it needed to beat them. thos are plainly the ap1 wheels which are skinny and only 16 inch. and the s2k has absolutely no aero, just throw the CR spoiler and front lip on it (still oem).
3:32 rx-8 simply pulls away mid corner, that's the hidden benefit of rotarys. you need to watch again to grasp what is happening there, then again and again,... to believe it. if you're interested, you're in for an assload of fun.
Gehtdi anschasau Or you could just get a Honda, which would be a better choice for many reasons.
True the Honda would be the better car to live with but i would still buy the rx8 tho
S2k tries to go the same speed as the 8 and ends up going off the track.
R3neeXD -
Ikr lmao
Thats illogical because the S2000 has 50/50 weight distrubution a better chassis than the 8 and is also lighter. Put a hardtop on it and the same tires and watch it eat RX8s. Also the S2K had worse tires than the 8 in the race
These videos are gold
I didn't realize the RX-8 was that light? Also loved watching the Integra R beat up on the 6 cyl cars
the engine of the 8 is incredibly light. That's why it handles so well even tho it's a 4-door
@@illewmenadeh722 "4 door"
I love rx8
I love this series!
Thats not aggresive shifting for Honda, it's just a normal cruise :)
For those unaware, the further back the car the faster it is. So we already know the order of performance every race, it's just a matter of whether the cars can hold their places/overtake/driver skill.
LOLHICRONO they said it was arranged by weight in the video
I have a request. Can you make a new video of the Best Motoring when they compared the F22C S2000 to the F20C?
maximus9401 Eventually I'll come back to S2000 videos, but not now.
@@miroshi how about now?
If only the Alfa had Q2 (LSD) differential
and japan opponents that are not track ready. Although, all the 3 japan cars are still nice to drive.
love your videos.
please keep posting these eras, but more cars too. not just VTEC lol.
6.59 When u VTEC hit soo long and forgot about RPM, ENG just give up
I don't know if this is out of place to ask but are there any videos that involve Eunos Roadsters? I'd really be interested in seeing those.

Oh great, thanks. Didn't know you could search for videos like this.
This all seems like a big cosplay of Gran Turismo 4 Replay gameplay
It's almost like I would like to see the lap times, sub titles could have been added on UA-cam so I could still see the lap times.
I love rotary engines
I love my fucking RX8. It's the best handling car ever. I drive it way more than my 600hp CLS55 AMG, and my Gen 6 ZL1 M6. It's so fun revving it out to 10k rpms and with some nice coilovers its so damn good
Rx8z shine on the track
What the? Miroshi uploading a video where Honda didn't come in 1st?
yeah, it had to be a-spec with better wheels+tires
Slow lap time for dc5. The dc2 put out a 109.16 at its debut battle
hp rx8 a-spec ???
A spec never used rotary right
Just wondering, are they all using street tires?
Rx-8 always dogged on by haters but always delivers. Except in the straights. Pff.
Who is getting this randomly after 5 years
i have mazda rx-8 i love!!!
Any FTO vids?
Why is there a tape behind the door in interior in the rx8
can you plz upload the video of mclaren 12c vs sls vs 458 etc episode.
+Fahad Faruk Sorry, I do only Honda cars.
I want to see one with the new civic type r and other cars...
Slightly larger rims improve cornering? Interesting...
they do in some cases actually
I think it's more the tyre width the rims allowed and extra sidewall stiffness. AP1 fronts are fairly narrow and tall walled.
Love my RX8
All great cars
RX-8かっこいい
the guy in that alfa was having a blast lol
Le saca el control de tracción al 147 en las ultimas curvas mientras lo pasa al r32 por mucho... tarde, muy tarde, de primera era y también hubiera estado mejor la carrera, good video cheers
solo lo activó por la 4ta vuelta... se nota que el integra le hubiera podido dar mas batalla al rx8 y al S2000 pero el golf lo iba frenando. El peso del golf lo hace pésimo en la mitad de la curva y en la frenada, pero sobre todo ya cuando lleva desgaste encima, después de 4 vueltas, los frenos y las llantas deben estar sufriendo.
That RX-8 is so sexy!
Rotary vs Vtec
finally a fucking video where the damn hondas don't win, well needed variety...
半蔵いつもいつも噛ませ犬ポジなのかわいそう
The video is about rx8 but i feel the dc5 is the protagonist.
Under one laps and the Euros are out the backdoor.
Glad to see an RX-8 win something ha!
never thought a shitty rx-8 would win any race
Guys is that there r3 RX 8??
any A-spec mod list..?
im pretty sure its just the mazdaspeed version. not postitive
Aesthetically on the outside, the RX-8 is to the s2000 what the R32 GTR was to the R33
I love my 8 :)
Вообщем задний привод на кольцевой лучше чем передний привод
Integra still got it.
I never imagined the Rx8 would defeat the mythical S2000
Moreira Da Lima not everything is in a straight line
:))) driver of that Aspec Rx8 is the son of S2000 driver. Rx8 is a special top model only for Japan vs stock S2000. Also S2000 had much better laps in other videos. In real world no stock Rx8 will ever be close to stock s2000
Nice
Have each car do an individual lap.
They did...
Дух Грантуризмо чуствуется!
Исход был изначально очевиден rx-8 - winner
Поспорил бы, если бы был старт вместе с интегрой, то интегра бы вынесла рыксу
Where is doridori
I can’t heel toe in my 8, my feet are too big 😒
