It's been a good while since my last upload, been getting back into doing runs since my quick release snapped on my previous rim over 2 months ago. Promised that I would upload a run with the FD, so here it is. Stay (86)tuned for more uploads coming very soon!
I would not consider this to be a reflection of peak pace at these conditions, but merely a good reference point/benchmark for the car, as there is 2 tenths of obvious pace loss in the s-bends before the consecutive hairpins and some other lines towards the end could be cleaner.
Temperatures: 24 air/31 road at the time of driving.
Jugee's FD Body Swap: drive.google.c...
Track: www.racedepart...
Run is considered valid and was performed live on Touge Life 1 - 173.234.30.178:50251/lapdetails?lapid=1058#

Incredible run man, really incredible !! Can't wait to see the one with the ae86t. I just don't understand the lines you're taking on hairpins, I've began simracing a few months ago and I'm trying to replicate the way you take these (as I think this is my biggest weakness) but it's just impossible for me, you're really a master of this game man !!! Share your knowledge with us mere mortals !!! Hahaha . Keep going bro fantastic run !

[@tinekese5025]

if you are having trouble geting your rear out i usualy just shift lock my rear tires so they slide, then you have to be gentle with the throtle so you dont slip too much. its kind of like a breaking drift but with a heel toe downshift in the midle. Its pretty hard to get it right but once you figure out the line its not too bad. Atleas i think thats how he does it

[@youraveragegamer8832]

It's been 11 months so you probably already know, but his hairpin lines involve a bit of handbrake. The fastest way to take hairpins is to kind of hug the inside and use the handbrake to get some rotation mid-corner

[@GentlemansAirsoft]

Yo using the downshift without heel toe to spin you a round is genius. It always felt good when I did by accident. It may be more intentional. I finally got sub 5 mins, let's see if this makes it faster, thank you for posting with petal inputs!

[@paulreza5354]

Nice. Did the same time as KT. Tak' s avg.time is 4:30. When Tak vs RT his time was 4:18. Tak's PR is 4:00 flat. Rumors have Bunta doing it 3:00 flat but just rumors. 😆

[@DivineArt-1]

Buntas pb is 3:30 flat , it could be true that man corners at 120 kmph

[@qw3rty302]

Love your man I just got a 4:36:006 with the bkr gr86 and was on the limit your run helped me see the lines to take and when to slow down to get my time. I might upload it on another channel I might create sometime soon

[@elZyngaWTF]

awesome as always!

[@socks2441]

1:23 damn. i always have to dab the brakes there, or lift briefly. how the heck did he madke that pinning the gas in 4th. this guys good.

[@papaasada8874]

I did a 4:32 on the kaido servers with the NSX idk how to get it lower than that i am 9 seconds pf the pace pf the WR 😭😭😭

[@Pepsiix23]

nice to see a FD run on youtube, hopefully you will also upload the 4.40 86D run aswell? really wanna see what that looks like also interesting you do infact go to 1st on the hairpins, I initially was shifting to 1st when I first tried the track but couldnt decide whether or not it was better to go to 1st or stay in 2nd, ended up staying in 2nd

[@thiccdaddycool4186]

Good question, because I should be uploading it in the coming days - I can either upload the 4:40 86d run and 4:39 86t first, then do the rest of the cars, or I can do the other cars first and *then* the 86 runs, depending on public demand. Either way, I have the replay and it'd be a waste to not upload it, I'm just getting the FD run out of the way for variety's sake and popular request. Also, the FD's gear ratio *does* sort of force you into 1st gear and I find that the extra locking helps with rotation on entry, as handbrake can be finnicky, I can tell you though that on the wider hairpins it can be more consistent to stay in 2nd as you should have enough space to build up boost. This is basically the exact same approach I use for the R34 and MK4 supra as well.

[@LGcoolJ]

My best is a 4:54 with the r34. No idea how yall manage to go so fast :o

[@Hexenklad]

One of the greatest runs in the AC touge community ! That's how a real sim racer drives!

[@thiccdaddycool4186]

That's very flattering, I'd like to some day have all the cars uploaded for this track so people have a reference point, like we did back in 2017 with Teekhy/Project D/Baba. This run on its own is a good framework but I wouldn't consider it the best I can do now after doing a 4:35.8

[@Hexenklad]

@@thiccdaddycool4186 well as the great Ayrton Senna said "If you no longer go for a gap which exists you are no longer a racing driver." There is always room for improvement.

[@TakuminTakhoukhth]

@@thiccdaddycool4186 that would be really cool !

[@inaNis_]

I do want to see this 4:40 86D run as an 86D main, best I can do is consistent 49s. Slowly trying to eek out a 48 but it's tough, your driving is mental though. People describe it as rough but idk if it can even be described like that honestly.

setup pls

[@666nevermore]

The way you do your 4 wheel drift is classy. Only way to improve is more gutter runs

[@666nevermore]

I’m slow as fuck on the 86 drift. Doin around 4:58, have no clue how to go faster, especially it feels like I either have to keep a clean line or to full send it on a drift, can’t make those 4 wheel like in rally

[@tomatojuicereal]

Do you use neck fx or do use one of the default pov

[@acwill]

fantastic run. i may be late to this already but do you happen to have the setup for this run? been trying to work on the rx7 and feel like i may be missing time due to my setup

[@zeth8776]

setup?

Do you mind sharing the tune? im having trouble in the car

[@stylsfoug]

What settings does it have to make the night so bright?

[@Aldin.C]

Is the rx7 better or worst compared to the tuned ae86 for akina downhill?

[@twodollarbills6287]

Can you please post your ND run? Im trying to get faster and saw that you were #1 in the ND.

[@M4kkaraperunat]

yeah same, i want to see it too

[@theguywithanobjective482]

can you share the tune?

[@forbiz2666]

what is your setup like wheel pedals etc. ?

[@pugforce2689]

Why dont you heel toe on every corner? Why just downshift?

[@snazzyzebra3425]

Because it swings the car around for a quick exit

[@PuppyPlimby]

fast

[@HansMorgan-g5n]

whats your setup/tune?

[@amRRRR86]

Do u mind sending me the setup used for driving that 86 is it drift 86 or tuned one? i drive on a controller for now but ye

is it spirit r or tuned?

can u upload more

[@jumpsliding]

What times do you think would be possible for a miata NA? I just started grinding touge tracks on assetto a couple days ago, and even getting sub 5 minute times seems impossible right now.

[@amRRRR86]

welp i can help ya if you want :D

[@sh1nkayo]

stay 86 (tuned) lmao

[@podio_km4g532]

Still trying to understand your braking

[@thiccdaddycool4186]

If I had to explain it, it's just threshold braking with an extra step. The first 40-70% (wherever I can feel the brake "bite") you see is for maximum stopping power, I do the same on both ABS and non-abs cars. The second step, which is probably the confusing part is when the brakes are being maxed out nearing the apex; I do this not to slow down more, but to induce plow, and by proxy, create an artificial late apex (fancy way to describe diving into a deeper line than usual lol), at which point I can just use the handbrake to rotate about the apex without needing to trailbrake in the traditional sense. This is not a uniform approach that applies to every corner or every hairpin but it does to a lot of them on this map because of the angle and tightness.

[@podio_km4g532]

@@thiccdaddycool4186 aren't you losing rotation by inducing that late apex?

[@thiccdaddycool4186]

@@podio_km4g532 In a sense yeah, it limits it, but you should see how that's beneficial if you're intending to accelerate out as soon as possible with minimum countersteer. In the worst case, extra handbraking can be used to compensate.

[@podio_km4g532]

@@thiccdaddycool4186 that was the answer I was expecting. I'll try it out when I can thanks for explaining it

[@TakuminTakhoukhth]

@@thiccdaddycool4186 this is really a unique way of taking then, you found a really interesting mix of braking/trail braking and handbrake, really incredible ! Can I ask you if you're using load cell pedals ? And if the feedback you receive from non cell ones is enough to be precise with this kind of technique ? Ty 😊

[@thepianoman9947]

This was done on semislicks right?

[@studid55]

It better be "YES" as that turn at 2:12 is a b*tch w/o slicks... Idk how they made it look like they were on racing soft tires... I believe in touge life 1 the FD forces Semi Slicks
