2020 Toyota Supra Road Atlanta Time Attack! GRIDLIFE South - Project TA90 #6

With a new livery, a set of brand new Titan7 wheels, and new RE71R tires, we arrived at Road Atlanta with the TA90 with a sense of urgency. It's time to lay down the gauntlet and drop some jaws. And WOW did the Supra deliver. Absolutely phenomenal car.
HUGE Thanks to all my sponsors for helping me go faster!

Love track vids...so many drag strip videos. Thank you for sharing. Now, dial in front camber! lol

We’re very limited on factor front camber adjustment, so will have to wait for coilover kits, camber plates, and maybe even adjustable Lower control arms and tension arms. Can still up the rear camber a little more so we’ll be doing that

[@MemosGarageAZ]

I'll be honest, I'm one of the people that complained their ass off about the Toyota/BMW Supra joint venture. The more and more I see guys and shops go out to the track or the streets, the more and more this car grows on me.

[@3v4761]

His excitement on how well the car did in its stock form makes this video worth watching..

[@BennetKao]

I am going to get a lot of heat for this. Part of what makes your S2K videos so fun to watch is seeing how hard it was to get every ounce of ability out of the car despite all the challenges you and your team face (boost leak, on track wing swap, etc). The TA90 makes it look so effortless and thus less drama. I am happy you're doing well with the car but I can't wait until it receives the full Jackie Ding treatment where you're pushing the car to the edge of insanity. Keep up the good work, will always be a loyal subscriber.

[@JackieDing86]

I won’t argue with you on that. Truthfully, I feel like I was already on the limit with the S2K, whereas 2 events in with the TA90 and I’m barely scratching the surface. It will receive the Jackie Ding treatment in due time, but done properly with less hopefully less issues. Not gonna lie, all these dramatic and intense videos took a toll on my mental health LOL

[@lokopixo2338]

good job dude, I discovered you with that new project, and this is the best A90 project to follow on youtube atm so far, simple, effective, recognizing the car for what it is and not what brand is on the parts, bravo !

[@john-5959]

Really fun seeing you racing this supra. If you are looking for power and a bit extra sound, the easiest mod is an downpipe and the safe +100hp&+150nm tune, and with these new tires you have the grip to put that power to the ground. Keep on going :)

Jackie Ding showing what to do with the new Supra. Turbo FRS takes off faster than a Supra on a track. Toyota/Subaru are you watching this?

[@JackieDing86]

To be fair, that thing did have around 450 from what I heard...

[@roboticvenom1935]

I mean yeah, that FRS is BUILT for the track WITH a turbo, it should be faster lol. The FRS is lighter then a s2k stock vs stock

[@sigmaprojects]

@@roboticvenom1935 I'm just saying the BRZ/GT86 should have an optional turbo model. Just makes too much sense. Whatever Subaru and Toyota's beef is they really should settle it and allow for a turbo model to be made.

[@sigmaprojects]

@@JackieDing86 Sure, but can you imagine if the BRZ/GT86 had the optional Turbo engine, either 250hp or 300hp? For $30~35K? Sounds like it would be a winner to me. My thoughts are that there must be some conflict between Toyota and Subaru that doesn't allow such a vehicle to happen since I think it would make it extremely competitive for the sub $40k market.

[@sigmaprojects]

@@JackieDing86 Oh, also I can see by reading my comment that it might have been taken as throwing shade at the Supra. I meant it as props to the FRS being as fast as it is and using the Supra as a meter stick.

[@matthewyang2792]

Those are some good left foot braking. I’m sure your shaving a lot of time with that. Some ppl don’t realize how difficult it is!

[@dgrayson92027]

Practice makes perfect. I now left foot brake when ever I am in an auto. It has made a huge difference.

[@psewgobind]

In F1's and Go-Kart, where the left foot is positioned comfortably for maximum control, seems like a good setup. However, not sure if regular sports car (with automatic transmissions) return any real advantage when using awkwardly placed left foot. I'd expect a smart automatic to compensate for right-foot lift-off inorder to go down on the brakes..unless you're doing stunt driving, in which being smooth isn't necessary.

[@SI0AX]

@@psewgobind It makes a small difference in the time it takes to switch pedals. For automatics it's better to always left foot brake. It even works with a manual in turns where just a light tap of the brakes is needed and also works great for turbo cars so you keep your foot to the floor and tap on the brakes so you can keep the boost pressure active.

[@matthewyang2792]

SI0AX yeah unfortunately in manual, you can only left foot brake when you don’t have to heel and toe which is prob only 10% of the time for most tracks.

[@SI0AX]

@@matthewyang2792 Yeah, for manual it only works if it's a long straight with a minor bend like some of the curves in the Nurburgring. Also I've heard this is popular to do with FWD cars and heavily done in rallying. You keep your foot to the floor and just left foot brake a little to avoid lift off oversteer.

[@JackieDing86]

We do need it, but we can’t get it at this current moment unfortunately

[@MaxwellReviresco]

Jackie Ding The front end would probably over grip the rear at this point anyways. Can’t believe 1.0sec down from the S2K with basic track necessities! And that left-foot breaking...most ppl don’t know how hard it can be to be precise with the left foot. Even release speeds can cause oversteer. You read the car well my friend. Looks like sky’s the limit with this platform 🤘.
