That Alfa Romeo is the slowest car out there, but damn its good looking. I always thought the R32 was a pretty fast car? It's nice to see the 8 walk all over those other cars though.

Nice video. I speak Japanese pretty well. Mostly the drivers were just commenting on the car they were driving, its handling, braking, and acceleration, and then commenting about how it was comparing to the other cars they were competing against.

Nice to see the 8 school the S2000 and come in first to boot.

The R32 should have done better but I loved seeing the '8 kill all of them.

In the video, all drivers push clutch down with their left foot while hitting brakes around the corner. Then they push accelerator with bottom of the foot while keeping toes on the brake still? Why do they do that?????

They're doing the heel-and-toe...downshifting while taking a corner and braking at the same time.

Anyway, talk about a mega-repost.

Yeah, a bit of a repost though entertaining nonetheless.

To play the Ike role in this thread, I have to say that the deck was stacked in the RX-8's favor. All the drivers were commenting on how their cars would compare against the RX-8, so this was clearly a race staged for the RX-8. Also, the A-spec was loaded to the gills with Mazdaspeed equipment, including Neova tires. The S2000 had to make do with outdated S-02s.

Yeah, I think it was staged for the rx8 to win. Remember 2004 there was a clip posted of a similar race with the RX8 , s2000 and similar cars like this vid. The 8 led the pack and then just dropped back letting everyone pass. It came in last. That one looked staged too.

Let's be fair....The Rx8 didn't smoke them - the driver IN the rx8 smoked them

:D


I got the impression the R32 driver was sandbagging.
