Cool!

Ofcourse I'd think this part is the best (or worst ofcourse, depends how you look at it):

Dreamworks Wrote:DW: I can see that it would be easier for an 86 to close the gap on the corners after losing out on the straight, but how do you go about closing the gap if you cannot do it on the straight?

TN: I leave a little gap on the straight and as we enter the corner I add speed so that my entrance speed is higher to catch them. But from the judges’ point of view, they think that our cars are better. Once you go into the corner the 86 is faster. They are about 300 kg lighter.

DW: Ueo-san’s car weight approx 800kg’s doesn’t it?

TN: That’s right. And my car weighs about 1,100kg. So that weight advantage is massive on the corners. I can enter a corner and stay with a 86 and think that I have done very well to stay with a 86 on the corner, but the judges say that we couldn’t catch the 86 despite our cars being “better” and therefore we loose the battle.

DW: Do you believe that is because Tsuchiya-san loves and is biased towards the 86?

TN: Exactly…. That’s the hard thing. I often lose when my opponent is an 86

Dang. Being biassed over the 86. Didn't see anything like that during the Automaxx Drift Challegen. Undecided
