what is good guys and welcome to today's video this is seriously epic like the
most specialist video I think I've ever uploaded on the channel and that is
because we are at a brand new circuit here in Japan and I am amongst the very
first people to be allowed to drift on this circuit the first time ever
oh it's kind of snowing a little bit that's insane anyways so I'm here today
because of Okachan
good morning we're both pretty kinky but we're also a little bit stressed because
of the rainy today's rainy lady Benja danger very danger so yeah we're
hoping for safe driving today no accidents or anything like that so
hopefully everything goes according to plan but the course looks epic let me
show you a printout so here is the course layout and I am so excited about
it you can obviously drive in either direction
I think the first session we're going out in is this direction but I'm so
excited about this because look at this huge straight coming into a big sweeping
corner a lot of speed can be obtained here big angle massive entry coming in
through to some kind of like I guess monkeys through to another deep corner
with a lot of angle that you'll be able to throw in there coming around a nice
big sweeper again all the way back around and to the straight again
this circuit is so cool I can't wait to get out there so enough talking let's
get out there and give it a go and hope that I don't come off tracking total my
car because they still haven't finished all like the safety run away zones and
yeah obviously there's some pretty gnarly drops out there in certain
sections and if I was to gum off they're probably gonna lose a sump so anyways
that aside let's get out there and have some fun we're about to head out on the
track to just do like a slow loop around and just try and like you know get the
hang of the course layout this is so exciting here we go there's also
obviously no helmet because we're just cruising around the moment we start
drifting helmet and gloves I needed always
this is so cool brand-new circuit the first to be drifting on this however is
that
Wow Man I'm so like nervous about drifting in the wet
I'm really surprised at how much we got a jump up track for a bit
Johnny's to check out his car but this thing is it's surprisingly really
gripped up honestly so we now back on the track but in the
opposite direction personally I think I'm gonna like the other direction more
but let's just get the hang of it and see what it's like
yo this is hard this direction is insanely fun I wasn't expecting that
a bunch of a wet like that waterfall
now Wow Sokka John's car doesn't have any interior vent so we're spraying on
this anti fog stuff like after every run to try and stop it from fogging up we're
gonna go jump in the car with him now and he's going to show me the best line
to run for this particular layout because I'm kind of struggling in my car
to get like a good layout and a good run with this layout but it's still
definitely really fun
good
oh yeah Michael Rowena
it's the boss all right so we're waiting first in line to head out and we're back
to the original direction from when we first went out and the rain has stopped
so I'm pretty pumped about that because that means we might be able to get a bit
more grip and I could not feel comfortable going a bit faster if it's
super patching there's a lot of wet spots and and whatnot then I'm probably
gonna play it safe again but it looks pretty good right now it looks like it's
pretty gripped out so let's just go out there have some fun relax and try to be
smart and not crash that'd be great you know oh yeah we got this place to
ourselves no one's in line behind me haha
let's see oh it's so gripped up now
oh yes
this thing is sorry gripped up now
so let's try like that Scandinavian flick my entry into this No
oh yeah that's funny ass alright so your Scandinavian flakes work will work
really well for an entry that no God please no
don't want to try that again no no sofa cover third let's give this shot
No
I know I just took off my whole front bumper I hope everything's okay
just limp it back well Murphy's Law guys if something's bad is gonna happen it's
gonna happen when you I guess the most prepared for it
and when I say most prepared I mean I literally just finished making this car
perfect Scott girl's livery the whole thing and
now BAM we crashed it I'm not even upset hey I'm actually like like finally we
did like obviously it's not it's not like something I wanted to happen but it
happened and it's okay and honestly we got away very very lucky my radiator
support seems to be like not even tweaked at all just looking over I don't
see any kinks or anything I think we got away with that super lucky unfortunately
though the blue headlight I don't know if that's gonna be able to be fixed it's
a nice big cracking it's all broken in there now so I think that's done
intercooler probably gonna need a good clean-out and it's potentially broken um
I don't know though like this is definitely kinked up but there's no
holes in there so we should be able to get this thing home mainly though it
just looks like it's full of dirt and stuff it looks like we looked like it
got pushed back in in but it didn't do any damage we're really really lucky
honestly like best-case scenario for what just happen like super lucky we
just seemed to rip off the whole front bar and mess everything up even like my
oil cooler and stuff is totally fine even though it's in a position that I
really don't want it in because that's like danger zone just check it out how
much dirt is any hang on come on Kevin you can show the people how much dirt is
in here please oh my gosh come on there we go look how
much dirt is in this thing it is just like man we can create a couple trees in
there we plant some pineapple plants in there only the oh jeez know about that
oh I forgot my GoPro is in here she's still running that would be funny if it
caught the crash but yeah we got away super super lucky I was expecting way
more damage the way it felt from inside the car
I'll have a quick look under here yeah it looks like we completely didn't do
any damage down here either very lucky luckily it's all soft from the rain I
guess no hits or dents to the sump either man so lucky so yeah it looks
like oh we're gonna be in for is a new bumper because this is like cracked and
split in so many different places but we'll be able to zip tie that on and
then just new headlight well we'll probably do a pair because I did want to
get rid of the blue but I was just finally happy with the blue because it
matched the livery the best thing about it too is all I need to get reprinted
for the livery are these side stick is and just the PS Tucker logo is in the
front like you couldn't be any luckier man seriously we're you literally got
out of this really lucky all right I'm ranting on about how
amazed I am that we didn't do any more damage but literally we're just gonna
need some more of these pieces like this is all like look that that literally
broke off the bumper was bolted in sorry well the fiberglass told the metal look
at that that's great
this side we might be able to bed back into shape but you might as well just
replace them they're super cheap they're like twenty dollars from from Nissen so
not a big deal so I could chance here now and I figured
we'd ask him what is exactly does he think about me wrecking my Silvia saw
that there I really screwed up I
panicked because I thought the rear end of my car was gonna smash it to the bank
so then I kind of like went to spin and because I thought I would had it in gear
and yeah man mistakes happen but it's okay so before we start fixing anything
up one of the best things about this place is because it used to be an old
rally track they have these high water pressure cleaner things here so we're
gonna be able to clean all the mud off and then we'll be able to start zip
tying things together and you just put like a couple hundred yen in there and
then you got full access to a full proper high-pressure cleanup so let's go
do that clean this thing up bet I'm gonna go over the footage later when I
get home and then I'll film a clip then we'll talk about it but I know I made a
bunch of mistakes there and trying to recover that and I panicked because I
was worried about the rear of my car hitting the wall hitting the embankment
and then that's what made me kind of like naturally spin even further and
yeah is not a good time didn't also help that I completely was in neutral and not
in any gear and I was going to clutch dump it and just it bounced off a limit
up for a little bit there these things happen so let's clean this thing up get
all the mud out of here and then we'll zip tie things together and then we're
probably head home
so I got the s15 karna back together you can see things are just not right there
we got zip ties hanging out everywhere we're just gonna run with it I'm not
gonna even cut them off Yolo I assume that's so much fun today even
though we kind of been in the front of the Sylvia it's still all good and I
learned a valuable lesson every time I make a mistake you learn a lesson
unfortunately I seem to be the type of person that always learns the hard way
but honestly I'm fine with that because I have way more fun learning things the
hard way and I think I feel better relationships
like that as well anyways I'm gonna keep packing up and then we'll continue the
video ever man 4 on the top of the little Bay's that they have here it's
kind of an epic view just to give you like a really good idea of just how big
this circuit is hopefully the drone footage I got before it really shows it
literally like this place is so cool I'm so pumped to come back here when it's
like properly dry and sunny and hot man so good and obviously not been it up in
the corner out there like I did before
you know at first I thought anti-clockwise I preferred that I think
I prefer clockwise now I don't know just from like driving the two today I think
overall I enjoyed clockwise more than anti-clockwise I don't know we'll see
we'll see how it goes on like a nice hot sunny day if my car feels incredibly
different today - it's so much more grouped up it's insane
absolutely love it well it's time to head home hopefully my zip tie repairs
hold up although I'm sure they will because there are cars literally held
together with zip ties such a fun day literally such a fun day
quick PA stop for a snack and a coffee
I got all cash on an American dog American dog it boys she can't take the
kid out of the oven so taking another little break at another PA because I
forgot to put gas in my car luckily we've got the what are they
called all I can think of as a Japanese where's Kaioken Jerry can a little Jerry
can a container of gas in the back 20 liters so I'll pop that in now but one
thing about sunrise circuit and natsu is that it's a little bit further than
Nicko probably another 30 40 minutes or so so when I Drive from Yokohama it
probably with no traffic I could probably get there in like two and a
half hours which really isn't that bad of a driver if I was to be honest
because of all the PAS along the highway you get to stop at Starbucks and things
like that it's really not that bad anyways I'm gonna put some gas in the in
the car but since we just said Starbucks I think it's time we did an isomer
coffee time because it's been a while
yeah went for a mountain emerald emerald man
you know what I'm saying well you guys saw me buy it at the last BA I just
forgot to drink it so good actually it's still warm too actually I just wanted to
say the phrase I'm gonna coffee time now that I've had my ice about a coffee time
stopper this car to get some air some our coffee time so survey says guys
let's have a look how much did that 20 liter Jerry can give me in gas gonna
give me half a tank ya know tee's we were pretty empty good it out
there so I just got hired and I was looking over the in-car footage at the
crash and it looks like I literally just kind of panicked and froze as well as
just made some really bad mistakes in that moment which is fine I I still
haven't like had a lot of those experiences to try and stay calm and
collected and really know what I did I didn't put it into gear I left I put it
into neutral instead of second gear and then when I went to clutch kick to try
and like get the wheel spinning and keep me from going backwards I just bounced
off limiter and then my steering I didn't correct and to keep going back
straight I kind of kept it held lock and then turned it a bit which encouraged
the car once the weight shifted behind to then spin me around so yeah a bunch
of mistakes but pretty normal I think for someone who's only been driving as
much as I have and still needs a lot more experience clearly in those
situations so live and learn that is what it is and with that guys I think
