just got this notification* I plan on driving my aw11 for this up coming season of autocross. I like driving around my old mr2 since the car is about 37 years old, alot of people arent aware of what it is and gets alot of attention. Its a great little car and as long as you take care of it, it will take care of you. One of the most reliable cars ive owned.

@ thanks drakkar! By the way, do you think the Darek AW11 mod is realistic handling wise?

@@Shalbyder its been awhile since I last drove Darek's AW11 but if I remember correctly the first ver. of the mod was horribly oversteery to the point it was undriveable. Last Darek AW11 i drove was the S1 tuned or something? it had pretty strong front end grip and felt pretty stable even when cornering pretty hard, almost too much i think. I had a YT video when i drove the mod on the newly released Akina DH, and the front end was always the first to give up which made the car feel very forgiving imo. In my own experience of driving the local backroads, and some limited autocross experience some 3 years ago on 300tw-340tw tires, the 1988 MK1b always felt very understeery though am told this is a common theme with the MR2 models as the pre-face lift in either generation tend to be spicy and the later models more composed to make driving easier. I do plan on autocrossing my 88' MK1b N/A AW11 this season and I plan to eventually move to a meta 200tw tire like the RE71RS, my first few test events will be on the Falken 615k which is nowhere as grippy as the RE71RS but it will serve just to test the car. In a nutshell I think the S1 variant of the AW11 mod I drove tended to over-exaggerate the capabilities of the car compared to IRL (again based on my own experience with not as sticky tires as of yet). The mod had no sense of the "mid engine / short wheel base" aspect, the car always felt safe and easy to drive. It was fun as a mod to drive, but for comparison to the real thing...it might be slightly over powered IMO, but again take that with a grain of salt as this is based on my limited experience and I hope to soon find out for myself how far I can push the AW11 with better tires.

how can you be sure of something, but not know what it is you are looking at?

mb didn't see this, but I've been on the falkens for quite sometime now. I think after this event it would be around 60+ runs and 2 track events? almost a full year on them.

Thrustmaster on every level. Shouldn't even be a question.

am personally on a new simagic alpha mini setup w/ heusinkveld sprints imo thrustmaster > logitech from what i've seen from user experiences

what

@@PM_DraKKar it not there

I do not, its actually slower I believe and also the server settings don't allow it to be enabled

@@PM_DraKKar impressive, fastest time i have is 5:13 how are you able to control it so well on second gear? I find myself understeering a lot on second gear

@@someguy9496 I also find the GT86 kinda understeery, aside from trail braking i also do tap the e-brake to help coax the rear end around a corner as well add some "toe-out" to the rear to help encourage it to step out so it will rotate.

am not really aware of any FWD specific guidance for touge, however if you look up some HPD (high performance driving) academy stuff on FWD cars on track you can pick up a thing or two. Even if its not technique you learn, its the theory of driving FWD you learn. You can look at TCR cars for example and perhaps lookup a vid or an interview with a TCR driver and see their philosophy on driving a FWD fast. I wouldn't recommend TSRB btw...his content or "guides" are kinda recycled generic information that any "weekend warrior" would know about any drivetrain. Not only that but some of his info is misleading and can lead to hindering driver performance rather than developing it.

@@PM_DraKKar I saw your also replied to the comment on the other vid, really helpful, thanks.

@@PM_DraKKar Also shit, time to un-learn all the vids from TSRB, I found them pretty helpful and I've watched and rewatched them a lot, can you elaborate a bit on what ideas are misleading from him? I'll also check the channels you told me, but I've seen a fair bit of theory, and I meant channels like yours, I want to see the driving be put in practice, seeing touge runs helps me learn how much do you break, the lines you take in an fwd, which corners are faster to drift/grip, on which ones is better to pull the handbrake and which don't... Or just different driving techniques or styles, as long as they are fast, I'm happy to watch and learn. Also, last question, I dont want to bother you more, do you drive the eg6/ek9 with abs on or off?

Oh clutch doesnt show either, when downshitfting I tend to hold the clutch while breaking and then heeltoe, is that bad? I unconsciously thought that stopping the motor reaching the tires while breaking would be better... Should I learn to flash the clutch just in the instant I shift or it isn't really noticeable to have it already pressed?

Also you when you downshift several times in a row, you are holding the break still, isn't it better to skip gear?

-i usually just tap the handbrake, but how powerful the handbrake is varies between mod cars -you should just be clutching in momentarily and releasing it once you blip and goto the lower gear. -some people will skip gears but i like just going 1 by 1 on downshifting feels nicer, however in assetto corsa people can abuse the engine braking significantly and overrev the living hell out of the motor to get the car to slow down more than what would be normal. This is due to the touge life server settings not having any mechanical dmg enabled.

@yomihpurple we were allowed to choose our own cars for the event, i opted for the lotus elise since its something not very common, but i do agree the BMW should of never been allowed prior to the event. I think the situation at the time was under even more scrutiny given that the staff who had approved of the BMW participating happened to be teammates of the BMW driver. There were other fast cars at the event for sure like the C4 West Corvette but it doesnt come close to the gorilla grip levels of the no-hesi BMW mod.

@@cocomba_8281 www.overtake.gg/downloads/blm-lights.22463/ i use this app

just gotta keep grinding 💥

nah if anything its nicer to race the newer cars both from a performance and logistics standpoint. I still would race my AW11 MR2 if I had her fixed up for sure! theres plently of older cars out in autocross / track that you may not really see in my vids like CRXs and EF Civics, EG6s, older vettes, Vipers etc...

ah mb forgot to reupdate description since the video kept failing to upload to KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6PVmoCse8SCg8U also updated description ty for reminding me!

I agree, I especially felt in most part no one really logged on Sadamine that much when it was on rotation. Tsukuba fruits was always a banger on TL2 when it was on that server. I also like that there are some American/ European cars added since the AC touge community only gravitate towards the same JDM cars for the server car list so its a nice change! and more eye opening for people since more cars exist than the Japanese ones. If they could add a Corvette to accompany the mustang that would be pretty cool too lol.

@gameadventures1 it used to be part of the desktop gopro app "quik", but now the desktop app is discontinued so now i think you have to add it via the phone app now
