[@nade5557]

@@BlossomPathOnStage15 Ferraris and Lambos are built to stretch their legs. On a mountain pass with a gradient, you can't use most of the 500+ hp those cars can have because you spend most of the time cornering rather than accelerating. Also, because of the gradient there is less traction available, so more horsepower = more wheelspin which slows you down. Because these cars are built for speed they are less suited for tight winding roads. The ideal car for a mountain pass is small, light, 200hp (probably lol i'm no expert) with quick, responsive steering and throttle, unless the pass itself has more straight sections. Take all of what I say with a grain of salt pls thanks.

That's pretty accurate. Initial D ist mostly based on Tsuchiya-sans life

I'm really happy that big companies like Logitech are finally acknowledging the importance of illegal street drifting and the positive impact it has had on so many lives! Keep on shredding!

[@KEI-uz3pl]

Thanks to Logitech for doing a pretty special thing for all of the Touge Racers. Some (a rare part) of the racers biggest dream is meeting with Keiichi and getting the answer of ''What's the meaning of Touge Racing?''. And i think Logitech answered that question for all of us. Thank you for answering our biggest purpose and the thing that Touge Racers always wanted to know. 3:29 Thank you for everything, Logitech.

[@hayabusa27]

From street racing to the long straights of LeMans, he done it all! He is a real life legend

[@crystalboarder]

growing up using a g27 i learned a lot about vehicle dynamic/car control. watching keiichi tsuchiya in all his videos during this time i was able to connect the dots and understand why the car does what it does whether it was from the outside or inside the car looking at driver input on the steering wheel and pedals, etc. as a driver/car enthusiast there’s seriously no feeling like being able to grasp/understand the behavior of a car just by looking at a video. Since i can’t explain every little detail of a car movement but just understand when looking at what the car/driver is doing i would say to explain, doing this is equivalent of being able to read (lol). Before you could, it’s just symbols on pages but after you learn you understand each and every thing. with the right simulation/driving game it’s mind blowing how much you can learn from using a wheel. this video seriously brings it all back full circle for me, thank you logitech😌

[@King-Gilamashur2758]

I lived the touge lifestyle for a couple of years, it was very exciting and very expensive too. Car repairs, car parts. Eventually I fell into hard times financially and couldn't keep going. It was very dangerous too, I almost ended up in a an accident many times. Luckily I only crashed once and it wasn't bad, went over a patch of ice in winter and hit the guardrail. For the time I lived that lifestyle it was just like being in an episode of initial D, exactly the same. It was dangerous and expensive while it lasted but I don't regret having done it. Many times I miss those nights going to the mountain pass, the adrenaline, the excitement. Maybe one day I'll be able to go back to it.

[@DA_BEAMERRRR]

Dont worry man, I'm sure one day you will be able to go back there and burn those tyres

[@Favled]

[@ooohhenrybmblm]

To me, Tsuchiya will always be one of the greatest racing drivers of all time. Even if he never reached the level of Formula 1 (not that he needed to, anyway), his versatility and driving style made him a respectable and formidable competitor both on track and on the streets.

[@ooohhenrybmblm]

I'd also go as far to say that he is similar to Jim Clark, who was also brilliant behind the wheel of an open wheel car, sports car, touring car, etc.

[@manoasky]

Even after a potentially life ending accident and 3 months in the hospital, he was still thinking of ways to become a better driver. To train for many years in order to run with the top level drivers, this is the dedication which made Dorikin. Bravo!

Jay Art Mazda too

[@gabealtf]

Jay Art yeah coz your not gonna be able to use all that hp on the down or uphill because of all the turns, lower hp cars like the hachi roku and Nissan Silvia s13 are great because there mostly just 130-250 hp, and less hp means less wheel spin making it easier to regain control which is great leaving the turn and if you were to have to much hp you would spin and possibly fly down the mountain and not in a good way

[@DeathBringer769]

What a legend. He starts off by stating how badass he is that his heart never rises when police chase him, so he could always get away, lmao. And since it's the Drift King, you instantly BELIEVE him too :D

[@wl9399]

I enjoy this video so much just from listening Mr. Tsuchiya talked about himself. Such a humble human being. I think even he can't move one day, he will drift on electric power wheel chair. Nothing but respect!!!

[@TO-yq2qw]

Mister Drift king many thanks for this video. Thanks to you I bought a Logitech g29 and now I drift the same Usui mountain in an 86 in assetto corsa 😄 everytime I got discouraged with drifting (it took me 4 months to learn), I came back and watched this video and felt inspired 🙏 Thankyu I can’t say enough
