[@petertimowreef9085]

Mister Tsuchiya's legend is almost larger than life and the man has reached a respectable age. But still he comes across as one of the boys. Just a dude with a passion, like all of us. Edit: Thank you Yusuke Sasaki!! It's fantastic that this content is available to me thanks to your translating work, arigatou gozaimasu!

[@Goodman-4525]

He IS the OG dude of all dudes.

[@matthewsisk6860]

Glad to see King Tsuchiya still using the "3.5" gear. Observe he goes from 3rd gear to "5th gear" then to 4th gear. This special transmission mod was invented by another Ae86 enthusiast and Tsuchiya said he would experiment with it, I did not know he continues to use it to this day!!! Very happy I viewed this video!!!

[@drift3rx]

omg I was racking my brain trying to understand why he's skipping gears. Thank you for this explanation.

[@jorgecollazo1281]

@@drift3rx I was in the exact same boat. So confused! Amazing nonetheless!

[@kademotycka3716]

How does this work? Why does he do this?

[@westhave]

@@kademotycka3716 The 5th gear set was changed out for a set that sits between 3rd and 4th ratio-wise. Other AE86 veterans like Hiroshi Takahashi and Wataru Hayashi also use this gearing.

[@anxils]

@@westhave yeah but why?? How’s it any different from normal shifting from 1-2-3-4-5-6

[@killinkrooks6212]

Great to see an Infiniti g35 coupe/ Nissan 350gt skyline battle against such legendary vehicles.

[@DaMotoristX]

All of them are Goated

[@TomatoTomato911]

G35 is still too heavy even with the rear seats removed.

[@killinkrooks6212]

@@TomatoTomato911 mines near full carbon aside from the regular shell and weighs less then the r32-4 and we don’t have to deal with turbo reliability issues so don’t worry I’m still happy.

[@Dayashii]

@@killinkrooks6212 do you have an instagram or a build list for your carbon parts and where you scourced them?

[@tirespark]

@@TomatoTomato911well the rear seats are like 4 pounds so yea

[@UncleRJ]

The battle between the AE86 and S2K near the end there was beautiful with the way they went around the corners side by side.

[@Vince32.]

This really brought back some nostalgia of Best Motoring videos on VHS. I loved it. Hopefully there is more races like this and with Orido and Tanaguchi.

[@dAbaPEsTA123]

Orido has been taking it easy recently, he hasn't been doing the touge battles

[@E38vip]

That 3.5 gear shift is crazyyyy, imagine practicing the downshift from 4 to 3.5

[@Ragnarok043]

3.5 to 3 and vice versa is more awkward since is a "U" pattern instead of straight up or down

[@LOOKINVERTED]

Certainly could get crazy after a day's racing and your speed level awareness becomes so distorted you think you're in 3.5 and go for a down-change when in reality you're in 3rd and go for 1st!

[@Colt45hatchback]

Reminds me of the transmission in my truck, it has 8 gears, but you shift 1-2-3-4 then flick a switch then 5-6-7-8 are in the positions of 1 to 4. So when you shift, 1234 flick switch up, then select "1st" its actually 5th. When downshifting from 5th to 4th it feels funny to shift from position 1 to position 4. But you get used to it. When not loaded, i generally drive starting in 2nd, then 4th, rev out to 2300rpm (redline is 2650rpm) then shift to 6th, then 8th at 2500. By this time you are doing 70kmh. 8th gear is good for 103kmh (max speed in 8th is limited to 2150rpm so you cannot go faster than 103)

[@LOOKINVERTED]

@@Colt45hatchback I know nothing about trucks but I'm presuming that's some sort of high and low ratio yes? Respect to you guys who are trained and qualified to drive such beasts, having to use and remember all these varying drive configurations, plus engine braking and articulation whilst using all your spatial awareness of what other muppet road users around you not giving you a wide enough berth so as not to cut you up (though you'll be cutting them up in half, in reality). Again, I presume gearboxes have moved on with synchromesh and whatnot, I doubt you're having to double de-clutch between each gear change these days though perhaps you do heel & toe on a down-shift still yeah?

[@Colt45hatchback]

@@LOOKINVERTED yes its a high and low, double countershaft transmission with synchromesh, but i would have preferred the non sychro contstant mesh version of the transmission, but its not available as an option for my truck anymore, you dont have to double clutch, but i do as i dont like the feeling of "pushing through" the sychro, if you get the rpms right with the double clutch method the stick basically falls into the gear instead of having to push. I do rev match on downshift (and upshift) but as the air brake pedal is the same shape as an old car type accelerator (a rectangle hinged at the floor) i dont heel toe specifically its more of a tilt my foot to the right (half on the brake pedal and 1/4 on the throttle) its smoother with the layout of the pedals. I must say though modern trucks are alot less nice to drive in that aspect, its much harder to rev match when the throttle pedal is digital and the computer decides how much you can have and dampens the input. The last truck i had also had a digital pedal, but it was a direct 1-1 ratio to the fuel rack so it was fine, this one took a long time to get used to.

[@86Spain]

that was trully fun to watch, really enjoyed it, waiting for more to come, more people should join this events, what a thrill to watch!

[@xcovertspartanx]

Not surprised, but this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on KZbin. Thanks for having the content English subbed!

[@turboslugfiero]

Wow! I was on the edge of my seat watching this. Super close racing and so good to see "normal" cars driven to the limit.

[@75yomu]

You can see him smiling throughout the entire race, clearly shows how happy he is.

[@PhamVans]

Truly blessed to be on a circuit with Mr. Tsuchiya.

[@LancelotChan]

It's so amazing to see the King came from the last place to the first place, gaining ground on the newer cars on every corner, and even made mistake to slip due to always going at the limit. Then he still manages to come back at the top. This is SO manga like!!!!

[@aiahlks1]

Mr Tsuchiya still using gear 3.5 amazes me. :D

[@danthaman7777]

What's that mean

[@comando293]

@L W didn't they re-use the gears for 5th? Swapping the input and output to create the ratio for "3.5".

[@MadmanJnr]

Must have taken some time to get used to that gearbox. But then again given the man's skills and how much he drives that beautiful car... That intermediate gear really works well

[@rogue5360]

If i remember dori dori already has his 3,5 gear set around 2000s. So probably he already gotten used to it

[@kuroyuki86]

[@jamesmackinnon4568]

[@mattheworvillefirdauzi5046]

@@jplslo8213 almost, Tsuchiya’s is from 1983 and I believe 1983 was the first year for the AE86, but because his is from 1983 I said 38-year-old car

Age means nothing, dude still has fire in his belly for motorsports and driving. That competetive drive is still there.

[@Isaacchuwy]

What a legend! Amazing to witness the driving skills by DK💯🔥

this will be a wonderful and also super interesting video the selection of cars is perfect

[@GLODZIO]

Soooo cooool 🔥 I'd like to see more videos like that 💖

[@philspaghet]

Wow! Even after all these years, Tsuchiya-san still beats pro drivers with an AE86!

[@atphamtien5242]

Drift king is much more than a pro driver.

[@philspaghet]

@@atphamtien5242 He was a pro driver, fact is, pro drivers spend hours almost every day practicing, once you're out of the sport, it becomes tough to keep the same level of driving skill

[@fujineetomori]

@@philspaghet actually it's easier since pro drivers have cramped schedules, like needing to work out, race days and stuff like that

[@philspaghet]

@@fujineetomori Yeah all that stuff makes them better drivers. Racecar drivers are athletes too after all. Once you're out of the sport it's very easy to fall out of pace. Same principle applies even in motorsport.

[@fujineetomori]

@@philspaghet all in all depends of the person some performs better on their own pace, while others (like me) performs better when told to do so

[@MillerMotoring]

This is exactly what we want! Thank you CARPRIME!

[@TomatoTomato911]

The camera works improved since best motoring but being a youtube channel with limited budget means you cant put as many cameras and hire more camera man for outside shots. In this race we saw mainly in car views and this is combining resources from 3 channels. Best motoring back in the prime sold dvds and magazines so they had bigger budget.

Did you see the driver of the s2000 using the same technique as god hand one hand on the shifter at all time Same purple color same roll bar same style wing And keiichi tsuchiya is the inspiration for takumi so it was a real life inital d race If you listen the 86 sound exactly like in the manga as well so cool

So much fun to see all the 3 race each other. i laugh so much on the Hoshino gutter technique insight ! The 3.5 can be faster in some place and in other place i think the 3-3,5-4th slower due to another gearchange.. Anyway is good to have an option there if you need extra tight ratio...

[@dunnoausernamedunno5533]

Absolutely inspirational to see an 86 keep up with these cars.

I wonder how much Mr. Tsuchiya drives his AE86. "A good craftsman uses his skills almost every day and thus perfects his techniques".

[@thecafesimracing2628]

Lol that 3.5 is so cool. Messes with you brain seeing him go from 5th to 4th and the revs going down....while your inner love for cars, cringes....thinking you about to hurt that motor. What a legend
