TC2000 07/04/24 - The drift.



I go a bit carried away during this lap. My exit out of the last corner wasn't so good, understeering almost off the road and then having to flip the wheel instead of keeping things smooth. Guaranteed to slow you down! As such, I felt the need to brake that bit later into the last corner before hitting third gear and this sent the rear out of line. It was really good fun though to catch it. The Neova tires are so progressive compared to my older RE040s. A world of difference apart. I love feeling the car move around like this even thought its not the fastest way around the corner. So cool to capture these special moments on video.

HI tom,
The comment is written for the first time.
It is a very exciting drift.

It was felt that the speed was not put well in going into and standing up in one corner though how to run was seen. I think it is good when cornering is done small by a full breaking.

After that, the matter of john was regrettable.

Moreover, let's meet with TSUKUBA.

EIGHTLIEN! Thanks for your comment! The drift was very exciting for me too :-) So cool to have controlled it.

I have a lot of work todo at Tsukuba to get faster and smoother. Smoother first of course...

John will be back! Looking forward to seeing you at Tsukuba again soon.
