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.

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.

at 2:15 he initiates like a 500 foot powerslide

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

@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.

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.

2:17 - some sick shit. see when he power slides that whole corner. that aint a joke in a ferrari.

Tsuchiya is such a good driver. He has to be one of the best drivers ever. Very gutsy drive.

This guy is amazing in his cornering control...he's constantly making minute adjustments that make it look so easy on that tight road.

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.

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.

amen to that! This guy's talent behind the wheel is absolutely beautiful!!!

2:18 great drift!

this guy is the drift king

It is wonderful to see Keiichi bring the F430 close to the limit! :)

great driving, amazing how fast hes going on that tiny road.

2:18 -> Damn! I would love to see that from the outside!

Gunsai Touge is such an awesome looking course...just like a winding country road with out the worry of on coming traffic.

that's absolutely amazing

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..

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.

Awesome video! I was on the edge of my seat!

Great car and amazing driver

I really love that sort of track. :)

wow man that tsuchia has no fear I love him

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.

I remember watching this years ago in Best Motoring.. I think its some of the best driving ever recorded in human history.. mindblowing.

imagine the type of shots they would get if they had drone cams back in the day

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.

@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

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 driving!

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...

god that was amazing! I WANT THIS CAR!!!

a lot of power, strong brakes, high rev, short ratios.. this car is very well balanced..

2:16 maannnnnn

Now imagine if he would’ve tried the F430 Scuderia🙇🏼‍♂️

that's a hell of a piece of driving

@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

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.

That's real driving what a talent

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.

AAAAHHHH realmente increible!!!!

the real drift king.

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.

@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 agree that he should use the left foot because there isnt a clutch, but on the other hand he is driving quite smoothly

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.

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.

I agree top top driver

amazing...

I hope they include this car and this track on the new gran turismo, it would be sweet

I want an entire series of Tsuchia just reviewing cars on the touge xd

thats a sick drift he pulls at 2.20

besides, left foot braking is only used in fwds and sometimes rally cars

I've seen it mostly used on FWD rally cars, to keep the tires planted, kinda like trail braking.

even Jeremy Clarkson can't touch this. hahaha...

Coz Ferrari is copying the all time masterpiece 4age.

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.....

oha, great car, and a gread driver!

amazing car

is this the course in all the other touge battles from this video magazine??

He is also the real Drift King!

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.

dude 2:18 awsome drift!!

Master Tsuchiya the Drift King..he can drive anything and sideways too.

Great vid

@350z33hr raclimj16 has a point. But it's a very powerfull and responsive car to push the limits on a road

@ProjectNinjaSlime i think not ,the redline is started from 9000 rpm ..

It does have a clutch...just no clutch pedal since the paddle shifters do it for you.

I understand that, I still think it's a slight downside. And I've only ever encountered a handful of corners where that'd be a problem. But I can see the benefit more for everyday driving like parking lots.

being smooth is the key, not always...balance between smooth and drift is the key for this almost rally like circuit...balance

Its a question of costume but for some people modulate the brake with the left foot is hard to do whitout compromise the performance.

I know he knows what he’s doing but i still feel like he’s about to crash it. Mad skills.

Man this is cool

Agreed!

this guy drives like a god
