The rule is to never drift the downhill on a toge. But if you’ve ever watched Initial D, this is the only race they care about. Weird, right? Well, let me explain. When you’re driving on a mountain pass going uphill, you generally need a lot of power because you’re fighting gravity. The car is almost doing a rolling burnout up the entire mountain. But drifting downhill is the opposite. It’s much more dangerous. You use a lot of e bra to try and slow down your car going too fast. This is why the lightweight 86 has such an advantage even without power. In real life though, there isn’t any heated battles on the hills anymore, just a bunch of idiots sliding the car around for fun. Thus, nowadays in Japan, it is common courtesy to only drift the uphill to crunches. And that is why

Uphill=which car has the most power
Downhill=which driver has the highest skill

TAKUMI'S AE86 HAS NO POWER
is a HUGE MISSTAKE all over 20years
people keep missleading and never do the research on how his car was built and numbers
since stage2 he got 240hp
in stage4
his car got weight reduction from 1000kg to 880KG
dont get me worng
240hp with 880kg with close geasr ratios
is crazy fast
and way more powerful then literally
most of the component in anime
dont believe me? take a look at
11.000RPM Toyota Starlet On the Limit
|| 4AGE Swapped Monster Onboard
or any stock kswap ek eg versus
evos stis stangs v6s v8s
watch how they keep up on straight line
😂

We usually just grip race here in the mountains of Cali
Jesus Loves You!!
thats why they dont use the handbrake in the anime actually. XD handbrake drifting is a bit more dangerous especially if you dont know what youre doing.
who said not to drift downhill? just have skill and sybau
People still drift down hill
All I can say is I dusted a new Durango on a crazy downhill section in my 92 Camry
Lol seeing this video after a shot that says the eight six is flawed
AWD for the win.
why advertise where you race…
It's the same as with a downhill Wheelie. As an easy example.
The earliest drifting are just incident because back then tires are so narrow. Today drifting are a styles are ridiculous
Same pinch ,i have 4790 plate too
Is it relevant anymore ? Japan has literally invited the ☪️ancer into their country, they’ll be all drifting in the mosque.
Hummm,
so let me explain and you explain nothing. why do they ONLY care about downhill?
Dangerous because the people who do it lack the skill to do so.
You can still do it. Just have to accept the consequence that comes with it
don’t call anyone fools there is ONE GOD we’re all made in GOD’S IMAGE dont use that emoji don’t you lust JESUS died and the rose again so we all can be in HEAVEN GOD hates the sin, not the sinner! 🙏🏾 ✝️
What is the white car in the video
I feel like the americans would recreate a track just for downhill if there were enough people to profit off of
Thats a rule? haha ops
for uphill you need torque and good traction
for downhill you need lightweight body and strong brakes
also differential is important too
you shouldnt run downhill with 2way lsd, spool or welded
you can use them for uphill but downhill need 1 way lsd or open diff because you need zero coasting lock for avoiding understeer at corner entry
on uphill you can do powerover to turn but on downhill you already have to much speed on entry you cant do that so you need minimum understeer at entry
Takumi: handbrake? Never heard of it
People very much drive downhill and not drive people definitely haul ass Iv seen it.
Its realistic because AE86 isn't heavy or too fast, heavy cars with big power are dangerous for downhill so thats why uphill is safer
If you dont understand the physics of why drifting downhill is a bad idea you shouldnt be driving
Using e-brake to slow the car down during downhill? What on earth are you talking about?
lame git gud
Ain't this illegal?
The combo of Takumi’s drifting skills and the lightweight 86 with less power than most cars & racing going downhill, was the reason he was unbeatable. Keisuke’s FD has too much power for downhill and he specializes in uphill battles bcuz on the downhill he’s fighting against using his throttle too much, over using the brake to help compensate and other things. The exact reason why Ryosuke downgraded his FC before his second battle with Takumi I believe bcuz he knew the advantage he had over him and especially other racers not as skillful as them. As cool as it looks and seems to drift downhill on the touge I would only do it with low hp RWD JDM’s that are lightweight like an AE86, Suzuki Cappuccino or even a Honda S2000 with as much weight reduction as possible and minimum upgrades that increase HP. And even then I would still be shitting my pants! 😂 I get it’s an Anime but still I have no clue how they all did it in Initial D & IRL in the 90’s.
No power for uphil…
Kinda makes sense since Koichiro’s practice run crash seemed like he couldn’t break in time
R
nobody drifts downhill because the ones that did it either died or suffered severe injuries.
*bunch of idiots – No
*bunch of thrill seekers – Yes
Scandinavian flick gang laughs at e brake peasants. Learn to transfer that weight boys
If you didnt drift downhill before, dont do it. Rear wants to slide more because gravity pulls it downhill too.. 😂
Like you said, uphill is basically a rolling burnout, but downhill is just a lot of braking and weight shifting with barely any throttle just to keep the wheels spinning
You have obviously not been to Yabistu my guy 😎 somewhat false info
it should be noted what most call "drifting" today was coined in formula drift and is actually not drifting, its called powersliding, powersliding as its name implies is putting down power, drifting is conserving momentum and technically is actually a gravel technique as true drifting stems from rally, even though it is slip angle which has been documented long before
fastest time lap i could find, mine was 3:46
