I take an F250 and double axle trailer to track days regularly. My FC tows the trailer with the truck on it, and my tyres go in the tray. That way, if I blow a piston ring drifting the FC, I can still drive home and get a good night's sleep before arranging to transport the FC home. Hasn't happened yet though, touch wood.
"I dunno if I wanna do Gunsai again." Oh you'll be back, you'll miss it too much. The fear will still be there and you make sure that shifter bolt is extra tight. But you'll be back.
Almost all cars, that one S15 flipped on its roof, another S14 looked to be smashed on the front. But at least all people were in one piece! No injuries from what we can tell.
4:20 is a perfect example if why I love Japanese car culture, no kids running over with phones screaming, just like-minded enthusiasts making sure everyone is okay and then helping to get the car back on it's feet. All with a smile and a couple of jokes.
That’s the way it is n Europe too! Also in the USA when your surrounding yourself with the correct people. The shouting phone kids usually are of a very specific inner city type…
You now what this is called? a closed off course lol. This is the norm on closed courses... The stuff you're talking about happens when dumb people takes this to public roads.
Been rewatching the beans 86 playlist. Literally a "guys will see this and just think hell yeah." moment. Edit: okay the crash and the gearbox offing itself wasn't very "hell yeah".
This is some serious grassroots style car event, amazing. It probably isn't a bad idea for them to have a couple flaggers in the corners but otherwise a fun looking event.
The amount of control these guys have to not hit you is seriously impressive! It sucks to be THAT guy, but it was a mechanical error and you handled it well despite the danger of running on the track ;)
I think it's really cool that one of the cycling sports parks in Japan is being used for motorsports too. Hopefully they do a good job cleaning the surface from all the fluids! 😄
I know this isn't possible unless you have a trailer and the park lets you but how do you think the beans would behave in this kind of track and condition. theoretically speaking.
I do not believe the Rule applies in this particular situation. There is no Martials in the vicinity to do the job you chose to do therefore you literally saved potentially the same crash at the beginning of the video from happening again thus saving many people and the track more money in maintenance and downtime. I believe getting out of the vehicle and waving behind the Barrier was 100% perfectly justified in this particular circumstance.
This was a much needed video and man when you were stranded my anxiety went through the roof when you was on the road but glad to see everyone do they part
Jeez that was a spicy day to say the least. Can't imagine a better unlucky day, considering the most important thing; no one got hurt! You know you will be back to Gunsai some day Alexi! Just gotta make sure that bolt is tight from now on! :)
The amount of intense fear I had watching you just be stuck at that corner is unreal. My transmission just failing is one of my deepest fears while out on American roads.
I had this happened to my BMW E30 at the Nordschleife at a race. It was just a few clamps that were giving up after 30 years. We welded the shifter in place, so that wouldnt happen again. So quite a simple thing, often overlooked, ruined the race, but I am glad it turned out to be a cheap and quick fix. You were very lucky behind that corner. If thats happening to me and I am loosing power, I try to stop at a strait. But its easier said then done in the heat of the moment. You dont have much time to think this through. Glad nothing happened.
I was thinking the same thing about choosing a better spot to stop. He had quite a bit of time but let himself roll deep into the next corner instead of picking a spot with good visibility. As SOON as you realize you don't have power anymore you should switch into disaster-management mode. Hard to do during your first breakdown, but experience should put your focus in the right spot in the future.
It's hard to think when you panic, so it's better to just shift focus to pulling over at the first sign of trouble before losing all momentum. Would've been 10x better to stop at the start of that corner.
Hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but I’ll explain what I was thinking. I thought at first that the circlip that holds in the shifter had popped out, and I’d at least be able to force it into a gear to drive it out. I had an entire box of neutrals, so I stopped as far to the left as I could to give people a chance to spot me as early as possible.
I still wanna see someone do the initial D move where they hook the tires in the drain. Hell I would love to see all the wild things from that shown tested. It might make for an interesting youtube series.
If someone is gonna be mad at you for being "that guy" they sure as hell would have been even more mad if they crashed. Shit happens, you handled it well enough considering there are no marshals
at least the transmission lives!! man my heart was racing when you were sitting in the S15 waving the cars down, I'm sure I don't even feel half of what you did 😂
13:10 holy shiiiit I know how GoPro angles work, my god that was terrifying to watch. Too dangerous to get out of the car for a long while, there, but too dangerous to stay, too. Fark. Never seen that before 👀
Kinda surprised there is not some sort of rule to breaking down on a course like this. Whether or not laying on the horn should be the unwritten slow down warning rule or even if the place had some sort of warning lights installed.
love seeing gunsai, but its understandable if you prefer not to go anymore with the very blind corners there. glad nothing happened while you stood there and glad the guys in that big crash were all okay

it's okay to be "That guy" if it means avoiding another wreck

Didn't handle it well at all imho. Don't go on track, there's a crash barrier + a path next to it you can use.
he went behind the barrier lol@@tracklizard4018
He could have jumped the barrier a bit earlier, but he put himself at risk to avoid other people damaging their cars and potentially getting injured

I mean extra tight has problems of its own as it can shear the bolt. But still, scary stuff.
he's gonna have a Gunsai relapse

I can't recommennd overtightening a bolt, but it's nothing that a couple of zip ties couldn't solve /s
@@pinkyfull the problem with tighting stuff...can't over tighten but can't lightly tight either. Maybe try threadlock?
That was definitely scary af, not to mention being unable to move on blind corner too. Thank God everyone spotted you and avoided another crash.

Refreshing yt and seeing a 1 minute old Noriyaro video gave me the strength I needed to attack the day. Good morning!
Been rewatching the beans 86 playlist. Literally a "guys will see this and just think hell yeah." moment.
Edit: okay the crash and the gearbox offing itself wasn't very "hell yeah".
More hell than yeah 🫠
But seeing dudes helping each other out in both situations was pretty hell yeah at least.
I really appreciate how quickly and smoothly everyone drifting in tandem go to driving carefully when you give the signal
And this is the very same road Tsuchiya, Orido and Taniguchi ran full speed XD.
The guts and skills in them are ginormous.
That situation could not possibly have been good for your heart, Jesus Christ, I'm getting palpitations just watching.
I’ve always wanted to visit gunsai but man it looks sketchy. Glad the s15 survived.
This is some serious grassroots style car event, amazing. It probably isn't a bad idea for them to have a couple flaggers in the corners but otherwise a fun looking event.
Well, just another excuse for some upgrades hey! Sorry kids, no university funds for you, Dad needs a new transmission and diff for the Silvia.
Not funny nor did I laugh
I would love to do this sort of driving in my ae86 someday!!

cool
Gunsai is so damn gnarly. Mad respect to anyone who risks it!
I absolutely love your S15❤, but you gotta come clean, did you sell the Beans, Cresta and Beercan? we needs an update 😁
wow that got sketchy quick, good on all the drivers for being heads up glad everyone is safe.
finally.. its been ages since you've uploaded a drift video😅

True and I recall at one point he said he would upload more often, I guess not yet😅😂
Now I’m left waiting for the end
@@wilfredmartinez4795 He always says that haha
Going through the crash site, reminded me of Dom terreto figuring out how Letty crashed.
What a rough day! Glad it was just mechanical and some slight emotional damage. Hang in there!
Wish I could be this early to work every day.
the way those cars in the side mirror looked like they were gonna slide and slam right into you was not pleasant to watch lmao. glad everyone was safe
Another jam-packed video!
Glad you and the passenger stayed safe after that shifter problem!
I really hope you didn't 100% mean that you won't go back to Gunsai ever again. That'd be a bummer.
Honestly can't blame Alexi though, the gearstick turning into jello during a spirited drive would've put me in code brown mode easily lol
Yeah, but that could of happened literally anywhere.@@possibly8180
The environment, the car, the noise and the road with the sunrays through the tire smoke, it's like heaven to me.
I think it's really cool that one of the cycling sports parks in Japan is being used for motorsports too. Hopefully they do a good job cleaning the surface from all the fluids! 😄
Noriyaro has the best car content. Glad you’re safe. You’re not at fault, just an unlucky day that the shifter decided to break
The “F*CK” spam was well adequate for the situation
Banger video as always. Geez, seeing everyone flying around that corner would've been unnerving to say the least!
Tsuchiya, Orido, and Tanaguchi definitely run this track for best motoring, it looks very familiar
Yes, this is Gunsai where they recorded Hot Version.
do more pov drifting like this! in the silvia and the ae86!
SO HERE FOR THE COMMON UPLOADS, i love the s15 vids
Glad you're okay! The D1 style walkthrough was cool, along with that Robbie Nishida chase. Get some Loctite 242 on that bolt ASAP!

Bet you used a bit of loctite when you put that bolt back, scary place to break down. Extremely lucky no one crashed into you.
You made it out with your car relatively unharmed and you did get a good few sections in. Could have been worse count it as a victory ✌️
What a good morning. Noriyaro and one of my favorite itashas
A box full of neutrals isn't good anywhere, but damn that was close.
Love that you put your sticker on the Silvia now
Are you ever gonna do a video in the garage you started renting? Its been like a year… also where is the beercan r32?!

Way worse/dangerous compared to and oil down at a drag strip
Noriyaro is a very strong driver and good drifter
The thing that amazes me about Japan is that they build gorgeous cars just to smash them doing touge drifting
Am I first ?
damn glad you guys are okay. it's amazing that everyone was aware and you were able to get towed out after a bit.
A broken gear linkage is better than a broken gearbox, lucky man, that could have been a lot worse. Glad you're okay!
The FC guy is a legend for going to a drift event AND CARRYING A TOW STRAP. That dude has seen some stuff. 😂👍
I'll be honest, I don't normally watch your video's. This one definitely made me want to not watch any more...
