You forgot to pin this lol

Hi Azeal . Not to bring back your sadnes but I was just wondering if Tryn had a funeral atleast.Sorry Azeal but thanks for the videos .❤
Odd recommendation but talk to a skater, I feel like any skater friends I've had have always had a similar kind of mindset of "live fast, die faster" especially when hills are involved. There's ways to be safe but like... I worry for them 😅
Oh wait this is already pinned, I forgor 💀
I've heard that it's very important to win 1st place in these types of races, no one wants to be the 2nd because the 3rd is usually police
Also most of the time you're racing for pink slips
And even then, the sore losers will most likely pull out their guns and open fire.
Depends on where you're at. Police are rare in the mountains.
@@gatordragon6140This is incorrect. People rarely gamble anymore, but when. They do it's usually highway racers and dragsters.
@@VigilanteAgumonThis is indeed common amongst the newer sideshow crowd trying to get in

I definitely read 'speed is my addiction' as something completely different.
I was worried about that...
but not too worried.

Petition to get Exousia back on to talk about rotary engines for hours.
YES PLEASE
We would love that
@@danielrandom3127 There's a few people here already pretty interested. I might as well setup a discord server for me to hold a seminar lol
Yes please 🙏
I wanna talk with him about it!!!
This channel has everything, from bounty hunters to illegal street racers to unfortunate victims of some of the most egregious things imaginable. Great video
I would love to see governments work with street racers to find safe outlets for this hobby, a lot of the drivers are very skilled but simply dont have the funds to go legit
government sanctioned means safe, safe means boring
Soooo nfs heat or forza horizon?
It's called a race track.
@@TimberWulfIsHereRace tracks are a COMPLETELY different kind of driving environment from mountain roads. AFAIK the closest thing that exists to a legally sanctioned form of this is the Gunsai Cycle Sports Center in Japan, which is host to the Gunsai Touge: a strip of mountain roads used by Best Motoring and Hot Version in their shows.
If you watch a race on the Gunsai Touge and then compare that to a race track, they are NOTHING alike in how they drive. Vehicle power holds a lot less weight on the touge: handling reigns supreme.
In some places they do. Car culture thrives in my community and there is a club and group for literally every type of sub culture out there (my brother has a Rotary club and I take part in local tuner meets). There is a local government complex in my city that is a huge center that houses all the government buildings for the city (PD, fire department, social services, health department, city hall, courthouse, etc) that is perfect of driving events of all types. It has a bunch of fairly decent sized parking lots and several complex roads connecting everything together, all while having a single way in making it easy to control access to the complex. So a lot of local clubs worked together with the government almost a decade ago to turn the complex into a space for the local car community to throw down at when the offices are closed on the weekends. So, during the summer every weekend you will see clubs and individuals competing against each other in drifting, autocross, and drag racing events in the complex. The local government saw the benefits of giving everyone a controlled space where they can hoon around and have fun so they don't feel the need to take it into traffic. People who take part in these events become better drivers by expanding their limits and learning more about their cars which helps make the roads a bit safer, and it helps with the economy a bit to as people take their vehicles more frequently to the local shops to buy parts, service their vehicles, and modify them to be more competitive in the next events. Obviously, if you cause property damage you as an individual are responsible to fix it, but you wont get arrested or ticketed if you go there and throw down or cause a bit of damage. I can't speak for all cities and maybe its because more people are accepting to the idea since car culture is so embedded into our community here, but trying to get your local car community together to start appearing at local government meetings and explain why turning a lot into an approved outlet for these activities can be good for the community as a whole would be a great first step.
In my town, not too long ago, someone was ran over and passed away by an illegal racer. Its interesting to see how people see it through different eyes.
Wouldn't say different, I'd say the correct way of looking at it
@@sirpatrick187 The most correct way of looking at something is seeing multiple peoples perspectives. derpfish_ is biased against illegal racing due to someone being recently killed by an illegal racer and seeing the perspective of an illegal racer will help them have a more objective view on legal racing.
@@dzp11177 Don't mind them. They're butthurt about something and didn't watch the video. They're just going around the comments and saying BS.
Apparently me quitting isn't enough for them, I have to build a time machine and stop multiple canon events 🙃
@@ProtoExousiaVictusPastoresomeone in there town got hit by a illegal street car racer and died someone they know died due to a illegal street racer
Thanks again for having me Azeal! It was really hard to try and fit everything I wanted to say into something coherent and devoid of rambling (>.
Been a couple months. You still holding up well, I hope?
That’s an rx8 cluster isn’t it
First of all, i’m really sorry to hear about your friend. I hope she can rest easy now
I “street race” as well but i’m nowhere as good as you. My claim to fame is that there were a bunch of modified gt86s on my “local” touge and I was faster than them in a stock 2 ton volvo suv.
I’m ngl I was going to hope that you weren’t going to quit, but now that I think about it it’s not for me to comment on. But I think it would help you a lot to think about what racing means to you, why you really do it, and just think more about life in general. Because the real reason behind it is what stops you from quitting. Also it would probably help to think about what purpose your life could have.
Also, that “long run short run” quote was from wangan midnight wasn’t it lol
Hearing this story is eerily similar to mine only offset by a few years. We probably even ran the same roads although I think we had different home courses. Getting out is 100% the right choice especially this deep into the borrowed time. There is not much more you are going to learn in the canyons. There are two main certainties in the canyon: 1) The perfect run will always be out there. 2) The perfect run will always be unattainable. The friend I lost was due to that foolish chase as he already was the fastest but he could not hold himself back from chasing every single tenth in the mental relative gauge as he drove. When he passed he was nearing 10 years of experience and I was just over 7 years. That's when I stopped pushing it. I still visit from time to time to hang out with the old and new regulars on the turn outs. Mainly sharing the life lessons I've learned but I never let myself be goaded into even a mild run. I'll never be able to break the habit of chasing my driving lines on the road even at 35mph though.
If you need another person to talk it out with, reach out. I hope you don't fully give up on Sia. Sometimes these things require reprioritizing your life and financial decisions to make it happen. The most overlooked option is re-imagining what the end-goal is. Maybe Sia is finished for track use only. Maybe that track use is autox. Maybe you repurpose the build to be OEM+ and recoup some by selling off higher end components you may have acquired. It all depends on what aspects you would be willing to compromise on if you are not able to find a suitable replacement hobby.
@@kdpwt It is!
IM FRIENDS WITH DIS MAN :D
Really a relief to know that he's trying to give himself an out and take some stress off of his chest, knowing some of the shit he's been through. Man deserves it
Do you street race too????
I’m just hoping man stops.
@@danielrandom3127 No, we met online through one of my older unlisted videos, but at this point, I would consider him a close friend that I wouldn't wanna see check out early, even if I haven't met him in person. One of the biggest reasons being a sort of "out-of-body" experience that we both intensely have in common.
Edit: THAT SAID, I have done a solid 120 on a trip back home cause I had work and didn't wanna be late 😂
@@mhmsurething He's the type to commit to his word, don't worry :D
HI ARK!!!!
One thing my dad mentioned is learning how to drive is the easy part.
The hard part is keeping track of what everyone else on the road is doing. Now this applies to Normal driving. I don't know about how that applies to this. But i'd imagine the hard part is keeping track of speed, elevation, knowing the turns, knowing the limits of the car, knowing your limits, trying to keep things safe. It's alot to keep track of.
As someone who is currently doing their driver's license, what your dad said is 100% true 😂
💯
coming by someone who dabbles in playing on the type of roads this guy is talking about, yes. it’s a lot to keep track of. the thing is, when you learn your car and the way it reacts to different types of surfaces, everything starts to become second nature. you stop focusing on everything around you and more solely on what’s in front of you. manuals, imo, are easier to drive at the limit due to the “connection” you have with the car. very dangerous but very fun. wouldn’t recommend to the faint hearted lmfao
@@D0gsbody1 Only incompetent drivers stop worrying about their surroundings.
This is called tunnel vision and it leads to deadly mistakes.
Keep track of it all or you end up a hazard.
@@ProtoExousiaVictusPastore Perhaps they were talking about muscle memory, which would be different, but yes, awareness is something to never turn off in any job or hobby. It has cost lives in more than just racing. Operating machines and tools has claimed thousands upon thousands of body parts and lives due to people ignoring safety protocols because of complacency. "Done it a thousand times, never been an issue, so why would it be" And snip snap went the person's arm.
This is the first time I've heard someone refer to their spinal damage as "bad cable managment". 😂 Good one, but yea spine injury is 100% fvxk around and find out territory.
It helps with coping :>
I'm intrigued to get a glimpse of street racing from this angle. Rather insightful, honestly.
Thank you! I posted a comment above diving a bit deeper I to my thoughts on why quitting was the best choice.
Never thought I'd see a street racer on here
It is really amazing to see how many people end up getting into vrchat, even myself lol.
I was actually a viewer for a while, didn't think I'd ever get my story picked.
@@D1ne-O-SAurThe fact that this is for better or worse really makes it an interesting place
Street Racing is basically 1800+ ELO in Chess from what I can tell
The best driving advice I ever got was given to me by my mother, “Always expect other drivers to make the stupidest decisions possible” aka be very aware of your surroundings.
The only exposure I had to street racing was the Fast and Furious franchise and the loud neighbors who floor their Porsche at 2am. This video did show me another side to it that I never really knew. Thank u for sharing your story man!
I.. don't have words, I always thought that racing wasn't this violent. I knew that spinning out, slightly crashing or getting caught by police was possible but in that cryptic way he explained how he lost his friend.. I imagined that scene and just said, nope... I don't even have a car or desire to race but his voice in that moment and the image formed inside my mind just straightly said ''nope''. It's sad that happened to him, I wish ya the best of luck in finding the better in your life man.. you really made someone that doesn't even own a car set himself out of street racing completely XD
I'm glad to save you from the amount of canon events you'll experience if you did all this
Killing people or yourself is common with speeding cars and there's nothing you can say to justify speeding In my eyes
@@sirpatrick187 I get that you're REALLY bent out of shape over the subject, but please do not attempt to spread lies.
@@ProtoExousiaVictusPastore it's not a lie. Look at the stats, a majority of deaths on the road are down to people speeding. If you seriously think you can go 2x or more the speed limit safely then you have something coming. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's a lie
@@ProtoExousiaVictusPastore if speeding wasn't deadly, it would be legal but yet its not and (in the uk) if you're going over 15mph above speed limit its classed as DANGEROUS driving. Its not called speeding carefully
Such a timely video. As a fellow speed junkie who just recently crashed his car this topic hits a little too close to home. I was merging into the speeding lane from the overtaking lane when the guy on the speeding lane got a little too brake happy and I couldn't stop in time and ended up violently french kissing his rear end. I got my baby back but her timing is way off now.
An amazing conversation overall. I would like to see our street racing friend back in the future.
The older you get, the more you become aware of your own mortality. As time goes on, 'the rush' becomes less and less, and other priorities take over. Your eyesight at night also deteriorates.
I was aware for it for years. I just had no other outlet for the pain, the immediate realse is akin to a drug addiction for sure.
Glad I have my out and I'm fucking taking it 💪
Just had a moment of shock realizing that this was all miles per hour, not kilometers per hour. My gods, that's fast.
Thank you so much for doing car content! This is honestly one of the most engaging videos I’ve ever seen because of my fascination with cars!
Thanks for enjoying my criminal past and obsession with things that go brap in the night!
I’d listen to a catboi/girl talk about rotaries.
Same my man.
I'm as down as you guys are!
Maybe we should have an “Exousia Talks About Rotaries” event lol
@@supern0v477 I can maybe ask Azeal, but at this point I might as well set up an impromptu VRC meet and live stream it.
Since the video, I have had PC issues so working out the gremlins before I get back to it.
@@ProtoExousiaVictusPastore I'm such a dork for a boxer 4, I have so much to learn about spinny-boi-powerplants
Exousia: yeah i need to find a hobby...
me, who just picked up whittling (and is currently listening to this while I carve): boy, do i have just the thing for you!
"Gotta Go Fast."
Your interviews are always so special, please keep it going!
The end big same, I`m also trans but all the barriers and social stuff that comes with transitioning is just to much, even though being who I´m would be great but life is not perfect and you have to pick your battles.
Aside from all the other stuff, refering to a spine injury as "bad cable management" is the funniest thing I've heard. Also, If you're looking for a hobby, may I recommend a musical instrument?
azeal thank you for making this channel becuase of how intersiting the storys and people are its really cool! you and the people you intervew are very cool i wish the best for you all!
There is no possible way to do this “safely” without closing down public roads and ensuring no pedestrians make their way in.
The hardest part is getting something like that to actually *happen.* Granted, it *kind of* has, but it’s NOT easy even with what’s already been done before.
For the most part you're correct, especially when people expect any road ever to not have oncoming traffic. And doubly so when the "i dont want to lose" mentality comes into play! But theres one specific mindset I've seen be fairly safe.
So I live in the mountains and there's lots of roads like they where talking about, but there's also roads that are even slower and more technical, I've always looked for roads that are super fun decently below the speed limit because although often easy to screw up the lower speed makes it a lot easier to have fun but stay very stuck in the mindset of "if I can't stop in the distance I can see, I've made a very big mistake reguardless of if anything happens"
Combine being religiously strict about never going faster than you can stop, while also treating every single blind corner and rise etc as if there is always going to be a large truck/schoolbus etc etc in both lanes when you get around it no matter the road or time of day, and if you're super strict about sticking to your limits and being honest about them/finding them gradually and gently it's surprising just how much fun can be had while also being super safe.
I adopted this style of driving because I was not only living on very dangerous roads, I was also heading to work at times of the night and morning that meant literally hundred of times we've had a storm etc, and I'm the first person down that road since the storm ended, so down trees, rock falls and mud slides are all things I saw fairly commonly and no matter what I always needed the option of just stopping because swerving doesn't work when a tree covers the entire road.
I can't count the amount of times I've come around a corner only to find a rock the size of my engine, a downed tree, part of the road washed away or covered in mud, or even stopped trucks and super slow heavy vehicles with traffic banked up behind them, and because I've always maintained the mindset I do and am used to how quick things go very very bad on these roads only once have I even tried to stop and not been able to in time. Which to be fair I don't know if that even counts because I was following another car at about 4:50am and mid corner a tree literally falls between us, like if he stopped I'd of been able to, if it was just me and the tree was already down I'd of been able to stop, but it just appeard from above and cut the distance I had to stop into way less than half, and I still was able to atleast save it from the damage being way way worse.
To put it simply if you're actively pushing or even hovering at the top end of your limits, the limits of visibility and grip, that cars limits etc etc then there's a big risk to others and its unfair and unacceptable, but that doesn't mean there's not a single way to have fun on the roads without being an absolute menace. It can be fun and technical enough to scare people even like this guy without ever reaching anywhere near the same levels of danger to yourself or risk to others or your vehicle.
I explained all of them in the video my guy
I used to love burnouts and stuff but always stayed away from racing. Spectator, not a hoon.
Stopped going to skid meets a week before they inevitably caused death. Naturally it was 2 street racers, one swerved off a bridge and dropped 100m and blew up, had his gf in the car.
I wonder if Sim Racing could help people like this guy, he mentions money issues but if he can save up for a VR headset I think he could probably save up for a Force Feedback Wheel and Pedals. Assetto Corsa with mods alone lets you drive just about anything imaginable, and there's lots of other sims out there. Then again, if it's an addiction maybe Sim Racing might risk tempting into dangerous driving, and it doesn't feel quite the same. Still, Sim Racing let's you do just about anything car wise without the risks and expenses of street racing and competition. Many sims even have VR Support!
I’ve done a bit of both, it’s kinda like sex with a condom, it’s just not the same, you get none of the real g-forces that comes with turning, braking and accelerating, and honestly those feelings help you understand what your car is doing, so going without makes sim that much more difficult too. Sim is the smart option but you can’t beat real
This^
Still fun tho. Let's me save money for Gunsai.
this has been one of my favorite interviews you’ve done. as someone who also low key rips up a twisty road and shit and understands the dangers and hates how they kinda have to risk others to have fun. thanks for doing this interview and id love if you interviewed this lovely human again because they’re truly cool as fuck
man is living like straight out of a fast & furious life, but in a serious note: you only live once and respect the rules of the road. cause if you ignore both, you don't need a magic 8 ball to know where this is going
Shit, I'm a speed demon myself everytime I hit a straight or a highway I floor it.
I'm kind of the same I have a Dodge Charger Sxt with the blacktop package(makes it look sportier) anyways its a v6 it makes 292hp I ended up putting a highflow air intake from K&N for a tiny bit more hp so I'm guessing it has around 293-295 hp because of that little mod. I've gone a bit fast before in a town I really didn't know and pass a cop going 71mph in a 65mph and squeezed in-between two cars right in fount of him I 100% expected him to pull out because it was a Hwy patrol vehicle when I saw him I was like crap so I ended up looking in my passenger side mirror to to see if he was still there and to my surprise he stayed at the spot so I ended up driving the posted speed limit till I got home
Ah yes, "Merging with the speed of traffic"
Someone get this person a sim rig!!! 😅
I have one now actually!!!
They are great but there are a lot of things they don't do especially regarding G-forces. This is coming from someone who is quite into sim racing.
@@jtland4842 Yeah, butt dyno don't work :/
Like he said going fast is fun until you get caught or die. 2 years is the average 4 is pushing it and hes not wrong. I was never racing anyone, just loved the rush. I dont smoke, dont drink, dont do drugs, but going fast was where i got my rush and just like him tried to do it safely. In my case when no one was around for miles. After probably 15-20 times of 170km/h+ finally i wasnt the only one around and some flashing lights came on behind me. Luckily I wasnt sent to jail. But I did have to take safety driving courses and lost my license for 6 months, and $2000+for my ticket. I finally hung up my hat due to the inconvenience i had caused my gf and family to get me to and from work everyday for those 6 months. Id have kept it on the track but again like he said its not easy to go to the track especially when the closest one to me i need to cross into the US to do so and a full 12 hours of driving.
Initial D starts playing
Azeal was listening to The Top from 5th stage at one point during the meeting.
I was listening to Remorse before it.
Initial D but the dark, gritty metal version.
Would love to see this guy sit and chat with a cop who chases these racers
another banger of a vid
The next Fast and Furious movie should have him in there. Dude caught air 😂
I still have that control arm I bent doing it 😂
Things get wild at 160mph that’s for sure…
As someone who is a huge car guy, this is something I needed to hear. Thank you and as always stay safe.
1. How did you get into new races, is it like a network of people who contact you and keep you informed about new events? I can imagine there are cop stings, and bad actors so how do you know what a safe race is?
2. Do you keep your license plates on? I can't imagine that that exciting cop escape you did resulted in no one remembering your plates or speed traps
Depends on where you wanna race. Sometimes you just show up. Plates being off, fake or bent upwards are common.
Mountain racing in particular usually you edge your way in just by doing runs until you find someone else.
Sometimes they like to chat after and next thing you know you're in a discord server for it.
exousia’s probably gonna stumble into this comment one way or another but my first guess for #1 is uhhhh “connections with friends” and “idk if there was a way to tell a ‘safe race’”
as for #2 i have no clue but the “i changed routes into a town while speeding in a DC2 Integra” story makes me think they would have.
again, these are just my guesses based on the video’s contents
@@crimson-foxtwitch2581 It could be any one of us really
1. Races can be spontaneous and be started just by looking at another car, but as far as organized races, it's definitely more of a in-group thing.
2. Most people keep their plates on unless they know they'll be getting into trouble in which case they might use fake plate to blend in better because a car with any plate attracts less attention than one with no plate.
this cat boy/girl is adorable, id love to listen to his stories for hours, never seen your videos before but great video definitely open minded definitely subscribing
The irony of playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted while watching this
Feels illegal to be this early, Mr funnyfoxman
Very good video is good to hear that he is trying now to get his life into something that will not cause the same level of risk that racing inherently has, I'm rooting for you bud!
@@D1ne-O-SAur Thank you!!!
As per the caption and the comment that was probably buried here-
I decided a few hours after the interview as I was already on the fence.
It's a sudden change that hit me like a truck but I feel free finally.
The only strong emotion I feel other than happiness with this sudden change is I feel like it's a cop out 😅
I totally feel this guy, I have a fairly rowdy car (Hyundai Veloster N) it’s a turbo hot hatch and it’s pretty quick and I feel like I wanna push it hard all the time I love to go for night drives to deal with loneliness and I definitely have done similar stuff to this guy luckily I’ve never wrecked. Ive definitely calmed down a lot though recently. I definitely agreed with him on the “don’t drive emotional” that’s when you are most likely to push it too hard.
I had a 2000 Celica and was almost always going 80. That was until the car’s engine took a shit. Now I drive a Mitsubishi Mirage and barely go 60. It’s an addiction, really. It’s an addiction until you’re forced to change.
I've been teetering on this change for years. I knew the answer, I just needed it to present itself on it's own.
- not that i'm against azeal's choices for interviewing and all the very sad stories he lets us know, but THIS is what looks interesting
Heck yeah, I'd love to hear Exousia ramble about cars and rotaries and stuff! The Mazda 787B especially has my heart in a chokehold.
hehe dorito go brap brap
I might not be back in the channel, but I might set up a discord with how much support I got here.
Especially with how my life suddenly turned around yesterday.
I'm glad to see another rotary nut!
I hope my pro racing career has a stronger foundation before Mazda brings back the RX9. I'd love to be a JGTC driver but for now, a Team Mazda try hard is alright with me.
@@ProtoExousiaVictusPastorewell your racing career is looking up with that new job at a fitting place and money to fund repairs and entry fees. I wish you good luck my friend ❤
this videoo helped me realize why i love going fast, like i love the adrenaline mostly that enertia is so exciting, personaly woldn't trust myself with a car, but like a bike of skatboard sure, its why i love snow boarding, I'd never wanna hurt anyone, id never wanna get hurt myself, I just love to go fast
This makes street racing so much worse. The more broke the person the higher the risk they take...If I get killed by a street racer chances are they won't be able to cover my funeral expenses?!?
Another reason why I'm stopping. I can fill a book with these.
Chances are you don't have to worry about them during normal hours, racers usually crop up at about 3am.
I got recommended the last video it made me cry 😢
Ive become so scared of cops in the past 2 months. Like I speed here and there but when I do I expect a cop around ever hill or corner. I cant get over that anxiety
have you tried not speeding?
@@ManWithFace it was implied in my comment that I dont worry ab it when Im not speeding
@@d3an._.78 That's exactly why they said that. Because it's 1) Not scary, 2) Not illegal and 3) Not dangerous. Thus don't speed.
for some of us car people its more of an escape then just driving. it really grinds the gears for me and a bunch of people that i know that bring up the safety factor and everything is dangerous in life, you could be at the mall and there be a robbery or you get food sickness from fast food. everything has risk and trying to be safe 100% of the time is foolish. everything has risk. more people need to stay in their lane and mind their business. if we mess up and wreck, its our actions and our consequences. we don't need you to tell us, we already know. we take the risk just like normal people take risk partying. we are really nice people but don't push it. this is just my personal take and the rule of thumb around my city.
That rx8 crash was wild for me to hear because that's very similar to something that happened, or a guess almost happened to me. Flat bottom vans and all. And in an rx7
36:54
Oh no. Due to a certain movie, I think I can imagine the potential injury that was received from that accident, and I am so sorry.
Thanks for for sympathy.
Final destination is unrealistic in the sense it's not gory enough....
As of now, the more he'd talk about blind corners and traffic vehicles, the moment you break 90 mph on a mountain it's a life or death situation. The moment you accelerate or the moment you step on the gas to go faster there's really no stopping it, the moment you make a mistake, it's life or death. As I myself who plays Assetto Corsa No Hesitation, it's obvious the game is not gonna be reality, weaving through traffic is highly dangerous I wouldn't condone doing it in real life as these changes of events could happen to you no matter how fast you are, a car is something you can't predict because the small things you do are big things for a car. Great story, Exousia.
I was also the type of person who did street racing in Korea and ran on the same hill as in the video. Also, I have been playing the sim racing genre since high school. Now, I occasionally go to the circuit and enjoy the ride. Since racing on public roads is socially inappropriate, I now only enjoy street racing through sim racing and find enjoyment in circuit driving in real life. I hope that street racers or aspiring street racers who see this comment will have more fun running on the circuit.
mannnn i didn't expect this to get heavy
Never enough money to really get into it, but I absolutely loved my clapped out MR2'S. Best memory was going 130 downhill on a highway left lane at 7am with the then love of my life with me, Highway Star blasting. Nowadays, I wait for some ice on the roads to powerslide corners. Sometimes, it's the little things in life.
Oh god, hearing about the crash really felt close to home. I had a friend pass from a T bone in an intersection. I was in a car behind. Just awful
I'm sorry for your loss friend. Car wrecks are terrible and very scary witnesses.
@@ProtoExousiaVictusPastore Time and good thoughts helped. It's been a long time since and I know he would've been happier knowing I've moved on to life a happy life than to grieve his passing. Thank you
Assetto corsa, VR, touge map and some friends to drive with. Maybe it doesnt give the same kicks someone who has done it irl, but to me it does and i like it. You get to push the limits of a course and a car while not being in danger or making anyone else be in danger
I have full bolt ons on my charger and have lowered coils and love togue racing it’s great
thats adorable "Azeal Insurance Policy"
Defenitly interested in more
My man, we’re here to hear you ramble
Hi Azeal! Can't believe you have almost raised 5000 dollars! lets get there guys!
I wise man once said that in street fights the street always wins
Nice Video
I too have seen people get hurt street racing. I personally have crashed and somehow wasn't hurt while doing 105mph street racing. All it takes is a single unknown variable to end it all. A patch of dirt from a tractor or whatever that usually isn't on the road can spell disaster. I know you know. From one street racer to another - be careful for the sake of everyone around you that loves you. Winning feels increadible. Coming home to your loved ones feels increadible too. Just remember which is really more important.
AZEAL WAS ON MY FYP???
I'm not sure if i'm older or this guy just sounds young but a point of advice i would give as someone who heavily relates about car hobbies is you can pause them but unless you take up wingsuits or something which is at least for yourself a even worse idea then its not about quitting its about pausing. Doesn't mean you don't go cold turkey style, but if you can pause for any amount of time for whatever ego you built to die off then you are usually good. The eagerness of actual motorsports comes back even if you season yourself driving years of hopeless cars slowly, but doing that until you can pace yourself to avoid risks can be important if you are broke like many of us are, tempted towards the wrong side of the sport.
It’s crazy how consistently guests on this show have lisps!
Wish to convey that they lost someone near and dear. Its always hard to remember but a pleasure to think of.
From what I heard he mostly do touge which is a form of street racing which originated from Japan where they drive in mountains with unpredictable corners. Sharp turns, uphills, downhills, different road conditions. On a public road which is very dangerous
I get the vibe that this guy doesn't know if a gallo 24 is a better motor than a gallo 12

bobby it looks like we’re going to need to knock that fujiwara kid down a few notches
Lmao XD
keisuke: bet
Hot take: but humans weren’t really designed for speeds over 20 mph. Want to solve overspending, climate deterioration, and decrease wealth inequality in one go? Build smaller / walkable cities. Speed freaks can go race away from people on the old highways.
i think this speaks to infrastructure issues far beyond the scope of this video
@@crimson-foxtwitch2581It's also super unrelated
There are still plenty of hobbies out there that can supplement for zoom zoom. I mean there's VR racing simulators, lots of fast paced games, Biking, roller-skating, etc.
There isn't which is why in doing it legally. I did find other hobby that occupy my time and create its own form of engagement that I'm happy with though ^^
Started getting Initial D on my tiktok and now this on my youtube. That’s a sign
i rolled my subaru sti off a cliff doing this type of racing and was extremely lucky to survive. I still continue to do it but I am wayyy more careful now than i was then.
As someone that enjoyed "racing" friends, spacing is key its fun and cool blowing past a finish location hauling ass but takes skill being .05 seconds faster than someone actually applying 100%
I live in Germany and nearly ALWAYS drive around the 140-200kph margin on our Highways, at least where that is not a majorly higher amount then the speed limit (Yes we actually have speed limits you can't go all out everywhere).
In my opinion to drive with high speed you need to have the Skill (Reaction time, know HOW to react etc.) and need to know your Car inside out (E.g. How it reacts to situations. I, for Example, know exactly how my Car acts when it starts Hydroplaning and know how to react)
I am with the Guest that speeding needs harsh punishment, although, if caught, I would face it as well.
A LOT of "speedsters" don't have the Necessary Skill and Control, and still speed, at times, WAY above what is appropriate (not just by law but in general) and that should be punished.
We also need more controls. I usually know that I can speed with little fear of the Police since they are SO rare. I drive 120km each day for work and in 5 years doing that had a total of 3 tickets (that's 3 in over 100,000km). The Controls are simply not enough. The Laws are Harsh enough in my opinion, punishing Excessive Speeding with "Fahrverboten" where you don't get to drive for 1-3 months and in Repeat cases or Especially harsh cases indefinitely or until you take a Psych. Exam and a Dr. says, "Yes, this Person is Psychologically Capable to Drive." (Which is Notoriously hard to get).
It's just that there are so little controls that one can drive years and years with an average of 70-100kph above the limit without having any Fear of getting caught.
On the racing part specifically, here they recently have started to differentiate between "just Speeding" and "Street Racing" with the Racing having even harsher Punishments up and including (I think it's Equivalent to) 1st Degree Murder if someone is killed due to the Race (which has happened enough that it was actually made into law). And I think that is a Good thing.
I love driving fast but just as the Guest I am hypocritically aware of the dangers I cause with this, I tend to be very fast with reactions and don't do overly dangerous things (Weaving through Traffic is a No-Go for example) but I still drive my 190-200kph in traffic and break late at times, yes I do take Corners with Screeching tires sometimes since I know my Car can. But still, Punishment for this Behavior is Correct, and if I am caught doing dumb stuff then I'll stand by it.
Edit:
After the Accident part, in addition to everything that was said: NEVER DRIVE TIRED.
Sometimes you don't even notice how tired you are.
I was coming out of a Night shift, felt pretty awake.
I overtook a Truck with 100kph (Truck going 80) on a 2 lane part of the Highway when I suddenly heard strange noises from my Driver's side, that was right before an Impact.
I had a bout of Microsleep.
The scraping I heard was the sparse Foliage of the Median Peppering my Front and side, and the Impact was the Median itself.
I got lucky, I retained Control of my Car despite Scraping the Guardrail and did not Swerve into the Truck (which WAS still beside me).
I took the next exit to a Rest stop to inspect my Car and calm down, my car got away with light Cosmetic damage and a Slightly dented rim at the Front.
I had SO much luck.
Don't make the same mistake that I did, I could have died in so many different ways that day.
Just one example: if it had happened 50m later, I would have hit a slanted Concrete barrier and jumped, possibly into said truck.
NEVER drive tired, even if it is only a little bit.
In all honesty i didnt read all of this comment because its 6 AM where im at and ive been up all night and im exhausted. I just wanted to comment about that first sentence in your comment. He isnt referring to those speeds in Kilometers Per Hour; he's referring to MILES Per Hour. Bit of a difference there lol just thought you might not realize that considering the US is one of the only countries that arent on the metric system so its an easy mistake to make
This makes me happy man, grew up around this shit. Uncles, cousins, dad, his friends ect all raced. Fly high Juliyus. Gone too fucking soon man.
Ill do it one day lol. Also fuck sideshow, fuck takeovers, fuck no hesi.
As a bike person I'm really interested in this! I mean on a bike the chance of you hurting someone is smaller than in a car, but these things are pretty similar. I personally am not really interested in street racing but stunting which is generally viewed similarly soooo
If you ain’t first, you’re last. - Ricky Bobby
The aspect of official motorsport routes being too expensive is so true, I would love to start a rally team with my friend even if it was just us two in a shitbox Peugeot it would be so fun but there's so much cost to entry with motorsport that the average person simply cannot afford to do it. I would never street race because I would be too terrified of hurting other people but it pains me to know that I'll likely never be wealthy enough to race while being young enough to race...
i have a feeling that hes describing the iroha slopes as his home course. idk tho
In my city cops undercover ford fusions impalas hell I even saw someone get pulled over by beige trackhawk Cherokee
If u want to i can give the no hesi part of the street racing.

May I use a snippet of this dialogue for a collage video for my motorsports team ?
I've been in a number of mexico runs myself so I know how it feels to go mach jesus with my hair on fire as well.
This video was intensely interesting to me as I'm a big car guy.
Props for a real one!!!
Yoooo such a dope video!
I need to get back in the car scene. Been away for a while
I think we should reconsider street racing.
Race tracks are expensive to maintain and as far as I know keep closing down in the US.
There are rural and mountain roads wich have times at wich there is just about no demand for conventional use.
So by locking down sections of these roads at the time where they arent used anyway you could make racing there safe.
Ofcourse if you wreck your car youd need to pay for any damages you caused.
If your car dies? Your Problem.
If you die? Your Problem.
No danger to others.
There’s a bicycle park in Japan that actually kind of already does this for events for shows like Best Motoring and Hot Version, and even on that section of road you can clear in less than 30 seconds, there have still been plenty of crashes.
Demand’s absolutely there though. There’s just far, FAR bigger problems that American governments have to deal with.
One of the oldest ground truths I’ve learned: “crime exists to fill un-sated needs.”
@@crimson-foxtwitch2581
Intresting to know that there is already something kind of like the Idea present.
The US has plenty of problems, honestly wich western country today doesnt? I can tell you germany aint doing to great either.
there sure is truth to "crime exists to fill unsated need"
@@crimson-foxtwitch2581especially certain mountain passes cops won’t even bother to patrol
woah
