  • Sometimes, no matter how well you prepare, your car can betray you on the track. In this video, I share the story of my unlucky day at the Formula Drift Japan J2 Round 1, where everything that could go wrong did go wrong. But even in the face of adversity, I kept going and learned some valuable lessons. Watch to learn from my mistakes and enjoy a good laugh.

      @@jordangarneau8817 making the t&g and hitting the correct line are two different things. in this event harry yoza(84) and kiyofumi hamada(87) hit the t&g smoothly even though they didn't have perfect lines because they came out of t2 closer to the apex. the drivers adapted to the track, as it's suppose to be. anyone who stayed in t2 too long didn't get a smooth t&g, simple. it's why t2s outer-zone ends early, to not punish those who come out early for t3 and set up the correct line.
      yea it was a hard t&g and rain didn't help t2s exiting speed, but the t&g also sort of the point of that rounds layout. driver adaptability.

    I wouldn't feel bad, Sam, that track seems to just get really random in the wet, and it wasn't even consistently-wet. (Also I often wish J2 did Top 32 cause there's actually tons of drivers in it I really like. It seems like more should get to battle. Though I suppose I understand the scheduling reasons etc. )

    i like the S15. same kit as adams FD s15? looks really nice. not usually a fan of pink (i can guess you are lol) but that colour is neat. probably looks even better in person :P shame it had issues but i hope theyre all fixed and dont return!
