This is completely different to driving a 300hp NSX on a flat circuit. The touge is extremely bumpy, the cars constantly off balance, not really a circuit for a high powered mid engined Ferrari. Tsuchiya knows what he's doing, not many people can take a F430 to it's limit like Tsuchiya on a narrow mountain road like this.
depends, if was scuderia f430 with adjustable shocks and stuffs? or else 360 challenge stradale ? sometimes you can help on that bump parts with some adjust on these kind of cars but fear about you do a mistake and hit a car like that must be big
@@Oh2x some day, you will grow a pair of balls, big enough to appreciate Keiichi's driving. I suspect the only thing you could do better than him, is crashing at the first corner.
His name is Keiichi Tsuchiya, a pioneer of drifting and was at a such a high level of racing technique that he beat other professional racers using a lower class car. He's the fisherman in Tokyo drift.
JKU lab million dollar hands and reflexes for a very expensive and fast car. They don't call him the drift king for nothing. Can you imagine how bad that would have turned out for anyone else that didn't have that level of control?
fordfocusseferrari that's why people crash in these, they try to drift or drive like a racing driver, but they think all they do is slamming on the throttle
first time Ive seen the complete course, I think its as awesome as the nurburgring in terms of the layout, both are the kind of track the world needs more of.
@2:17 on right hand corner, the car starts to revers the rear end, usually an amature driver would panic and closes the throttle and results in spining but Tsutiya, thanks to his professional skill, kept on giving necessary thrust while adjusting the steering to counter the moment to go around he balanced the car perfectly. Good driving.
Thanks for this! Not everyday you get to see a F430 get absolutely trashed about, in the Touge! Also, this man, this man just have to try drifting every car he gets. haha, mad levels of car control.
@raclimja16 he's not driving it badly. he isn't used to the car. It's very hard to put the power down on a + 200hp RWD car on a tarmac rally stage! Try watching some Group B RWD car's on tarmac... The driver's were very tired on each stage. Driving 4WD is a diferent story, by the way Loeb has 8 WRC titles :D
Rik1pk Plus, the touge is bumpy and has lots of dangerous corners so Tsuchiya being the legend himself pushes a car designed for circuit racing to the limit on a touge
Hi guys, Tsuchiya won several races in Formula 3 as well in 90's.There were quite tough competitions in Japanese F3 at that time because so many good dirvers were there from EU, following Schumacher Bros. for more details, pls google his career by youe self.
Amazing driver. Amazing video. Thanks to the poster for not ruining this with some crappy rap/metal music. The music from the engine is beautiful all by itself.
Tsuchiya is a legend in race car driving, he usually ware pink marigold dish washing gloves.. resepct to him throwing that prancing pony around with no driver aids engaged.. quality..
The thing he's pushing on is called a "deadrest". .....No clutch pedal but there IS a clutch that is activated electronically instead of hydrolically. This current "entry level" ferrari is available in 6 speed manual but not as popular as the paddle. As for left foot braking, this car is fast enough that most find that the single-point seatbelt (non race belt) will keep you looking for seating position stability. That's where the deadrest comes in handy.
I like his sound effects "Eeeeeeeee.....eeeeeeee" :-) I am surprised he doesn't use left foot for braking. In some corners he could hold a very light brake bias on entry as he starts to power out and get a small slight advantage.
I think the point should be made that him not using both feet does not question is ability in a racing car. In Australia, one of the only ppl who would use both feet in a situation like this is Greg Murphy becasue he uses his left foot to break so that he can always control the accelerator pedal. Most other drivers in the field don't, hence would have their 'clutch foot' placed firmly in its resting position.....
@NO4Q2 nope it is kind like a footrest i think a lot of cars have that to put your left foot somewhere and he is pushing his left foot down there because he is going to fast its like crashing before you crash your muscles extract dont now how to say it in english but you can see it when he slide alot he put his left foot down also maybe for bodybalance in the car
Uuuuum nope egnine has to do with pretty much every detail of the engine and mostly from the materials the engine has been made and plus this ferrari is a v8 so no it has not 10cyl's
@flamerzbangout sounds like your car is fine, develop a good heel toe to keep the revs up on downshifting and dont be scared, your car should be faster than most in the corners, its up to you to live up to your cars potential, learn to get your angle on breaking since its an awd you can just floor it on the exit if you do it right, maybe get the misfiring system like Sudo Kyoichi in Initial D, they really use it in WRC
Well, left foot braking is to make it so that you can quickly toggle the throttle and brake really quickly. It is to quickly balance the car in a fast slalom.
I do support left foot braking on the straightaway in a high horse power car, while you have the power on, in order to stabilize the car. e.g. You're pushing 700 whp to the rear wheels without traction control. As you come off the corner exit onto the straight, you floor the throttle and try to put all your ponies to the ground. However, bumps on the racetrack start to destabilize your car. Using your left foot to apply the brake while your right foot is on the gas to stabilize the car is ok.
german auto makers are the founders of the automotive and aricraft technologies, they strive in technology advancement from the 1st combustion chamber to electric circuit board.Dual clutch (direct shift) is a vw patent technology, evox transmission is made by getrag which is a german gear company that supply bmws, 911s, corvette, toyota... ect. If you look at formula 1, where almost all auto/space technology is developed from, every country has many innovative technology coming up every year.
Well damn never seen someone have the f-430 side ways!Sob can drive for sure!i drove a buddy's 430 and was up on the mountain close to where i live and damn car handles great but i guess thats what 160grand will do for you!I was scared to got to fast i got it up to 130 and backed up he was behind me in my chevelle and he was driving my car so if i fucked anything up my car was going to be fucked up as well haha great vid great driving keep it up
Thats KEISUKE TSUCHIYA to u folk RESPECT, is a proffestional JGTC driver for nissan and also the co founder of the D1 Grand Prix, you'll never be good as him god know I never will.
that one looked almost planned and really controlled. 3:30 was the one where he was going to fast for the turn and pretty much had to floor it during the drift so that he doesn't fly off the right side.
left foot is for clutch remember? even in most auto-trans' vehicles, intructors advice that you use only your right foot for accel' and braking..keep it tuck in!

but fear about you do a mistake and hit a car like that must be big
Because the NSX is slow as shit compared to anything Ferrari made after 1999 lmao
If you know anything about driving, you know this guy has alot of talent.
Feral Mass , yup. how did he not bin the damn thing? amazing he was at those limits with no runoff.
Feral Mass it’s keiichi tsuchiya what do you think, he’s the drift king as well as touge king
nah i could do better
@@Oh2x some day, you will grow a pair of balls, big enough to appreciate Keiichi's driving. I suspect the only thing you could do better than him, is crashing at the first corner.
@@Baru96 nah id do better
great driving. i like how his clutch foot twitches sometimes while gear shifting and braking. :3
I notice that
I like how he says "almost scary" when i already feel scared watching him go that fast LOL

This was one of the first video I watched on CZcams back in 2006
Me too, I had been watching lots of best motoring videos when CZcams came out
at 2:15 he initiates like a 500 foot powerslide

butt lol it reminded me of the yellowbird lap at the nordschleife
I watched it like 3 times from how fucking mad that shit was
I'ts funny because I bet it looks smooth from the outside, but only if they knew what was going on inside.
fordfocusseferrari that's why people crash in these, they try to drift or drive like a racing driver, but they think all they do is slamming on the throttle
It's a crime there is no exterior view
@@pinkyo293 If only drones were widely accessable back then.
@@chrissss696 do you know who the driver is?
@@kimpavfx yes, i wasn't talking about Tsuchiya, i was talking about the morons who crash trying to look cool
first time Ive seen the complete course, I think its as awesome as the nurburgring in terms of the layout, both are the kind of track the world needs more of.
That's how a pro drives a Ferrari
DK is whipping the hell outta of that ride!!!!
That is some serious driving. Pushing a Ferrari on a tight narrow track like that requires skill and he’s got plenty of it.
I can't even guess how many times he's done this run. He has the road memorized.
I cant stop watching this. Seeing someone do something so well is utterly mesmerising. Wish I could drive as well as he can.
This guy is amazing in his cornering control...he's constantly making minute adjustments that make it look so easy on that tight road.
well, duh... he's keiichi tsuchiya
@@kimpavfx Lol I made that comment 16 years ago I didn't know who this guy was
@@revaholic yep. glad to know you're still alive
Tsuchiya is such a good driver. He has to be one of the best drivers ever. Very gutsy drive.
@2:17 on right hand corner, the car starts to revers the rear end, usually an amature driver would panic and closes the throttle and results in spining but Tsutiya, thanks to his professional skill, kept on giving necessary thrust while adjusting the steering to counter the moment to go around he balanced the car perfectly. Good driving.
he is an amazing driver.....
he was driving so fast in a so narrow road.....i could never do it
Wow that's some serious skill, not only did he slap this around the track but he slayed that track like he was out to kill it...
He’s always throwing cars around it I’m sure he could lap it in his sleep. He is to the touge what Sabine Schmitz was to the Nurburgring.
2:17 - some sick shit. see when he power slides that whole corner. that aint a joke in a ferrari.
nice steering and throttle work @ 2:17... car went into an oversteer and he corrected it very nicely. that's why hes called the Drift King.
this guy is the drift king
great driving, amazing how fast hes going on that tiny road.
amen to that! This guy's talent behind the wheel is absolutely beautiful!!!
2:18 great drift!
the ferrari was so smooth that the camera barely shakes, you can't even tell the bumps on gunsai. it almost felt like DK was driving a simulator.
2:18 -> Damn! I would love to see that from the outside!
It is wonderful to see Keiichi bring the F430 close to the limit! :)
Thanks for this! Not everyday you get to see a F430 get absolutely trashed about, in the Touge! Also, this man, this man just have to try drifting every car he gets. haha, mad levels of car control.
You know you´re going fast, when you´re pressing down your left foot as hard as your right foot; just to stay up.
Awesome video! I was on the edge of my seat!
Now imagine if he would’ve tried the F430 Scuderia🙇🏼♂️
imagine the type of shots they would get if they had drone cams back in the day
that's absolutely amazing
wow man that tsuchia has no fear I love him
Awesome driving!
I really love that sort of track. :)
Gunsai Touge is such an awesome looking course...just like a winding country road with out the worry of on coming traffic.
2:16 maannnnnn

Amazing driver. Amazing video. Thanks to the poster for not ruining this with some crappy rap/metal music. The music from the engine is beautiful all by itself.
a lot of power, strong brakes, high rev, short ratios.. this car is very well balanced..
I want an entire series of Tsuchia just reviewing cars on the touge xd
Tsuchiya is a legend in race car driving, he usually ware pink marigold dish washing gloves..
resepct to him throwing that prancing pony around with no driver aids engaged..
quality..
god that was amazing! I WANT THIS CAR!!!
the real drift king.
even Jeremy Clarkson can't touch this. hahaha...
not "even", Clarkson is not even comparable to Tsuchiya lol
@@NOXXism what about the STIG tho?

This video was uploaded in 2006. Got recommended in 2023.
I remember watching this years ago in Best Motoring.. I think its some of the best driving ever recorded in human history.. mindblowing.
wow, now I know what its like to experience the inside the car :D love the way he says "almost" scary!! guy must have balls of steel lol.
That's real driving what a talent
I like his sound effects "Eeeeeeeee.....eeeeeeee" :-)
I am surprised he doesn't use left foot for braking. In some corners he could hold a very light brake bias on entry as he starts to power out and get a small slight advantage.
that's a hell of a piece of driving
AAAAHHHH realmente increible!!!!
Great vid
Jesus Christ!!! that was some SERIOUS driving there...this is what it's all about...simply unbelievable! the Drift King is on a level of his own...

If only the car's buyers would drive them like this...
imagine going on a sunday drive and you see this guy
Lol why does it sound like a 4age?
shanghai cause Ferraris have small engines for theirs amount of cylinders 10 cylinder is 4.o
Uuuuum nope egnine has to do with pretty much every detail of the engine and mostly from the materials the engine has been made and plus this ferrari is a v8 so no it has not 10cyl's
MrProkiller98 It sounds that way because of it's equal length exhaust and because it is a flat plane crank v8.
Joseph HD uuum i know why its sound like this no need to explain it to me but that dude above me plus also are the things i saod above
Coz Ferrari is copying the all time masterpiece 4age.
I know he knows what he’s doing but i still feel like he’s about to crash it. Mad skills.
What show is this from and where can I watch more of it than just these snippets
Its called best motoring
@@theholysmite9935 thanks!
He knows the track, its obvious some corners are blind and he knows weather to slow down or push, neither less beautiful driving and sliding.
i agree that he should use the left foot because there isnt a clutch, but on the other hand he is driving quite smoothly
oha, great car, and a gread driver!
I love when DriftkingSan says: ''This is faaaaast''
@flamerzbangout sounds like your car is fine, develop a good heel toe to keep the revs up on downshifting and dont be scared, your car should be faster than most in the corners, its up to you to live up to your cars potential, learn to get your angle on breaking since its an awd you can just floor it on the exit if you do it right, maybe get the misfiring system like Sudo Kyoichi in Initial D, they really use it in WRC
I hope they include this car and this track on the new gran turismo, it would be sweet
thats a sick drift he pulls at 2.20
besides, left foot braking is only used in fwds and sometimes rally cars
Does this car rev match on its own? Why didn't he heal toe around some of the corners at all?
dude 2:18 awsome drift!!
If only Gran Turismo actually featured Ferraris and Porsches...
I've seen it mostly used on FWD rally cars, to keep the tires planted, kinda like trail braking.
Well, left foot braking is to make it so that you can quickly toggle the throttle and brake really quickly. It is to quickly balance the car in a fast slalom.
