@@trcs3079 yes that is one point, but you can start nearly as fast for half the price, then slowly modify as you see fit. It's also more fun as a drivers car.

100%. You can just see how much input Tsuchiya had to put in to keep a respectable line (especially when he was leading). Insane that the fk8 hung tough though because the A45 buildout is guaranteed twice the cost of the FK8 buildout! Shout out Seeker!
I've been watching Best Motoring videos since a teenager, dreaming about owning a 90's sports car and I never knew about new videos. Watching this one is kinda nostalgic and awesome in the same way. DK skills always amazed me and it's impressive that he didn't lost the touch over the years. Kudos from Brazil, big fan here, @BestMOTORing, nowdays I own an CIVIC FA8 Si, inspired by those Touge battles.
A45 has 100 more horses, All Wheels Drive vs Type R which is FWD ... on a wet condition. A45 has an advantage clearly ... and a 50% higher price tab. I will say good job to both the Honda Engineers and German Engineers for coming up with 2 'Super' cars that are great to drive and compete with. Great cars!!
I can't help but to think that it would be amazing to see Keichi Tsuchiya to have a go at Rally Monte Carlo. I'd love to see how well he would do against like Sebastian Loeb.
@@TassieLorenzo you can read in the caption the driver talks about tapping the break which caused the oversteer (very similar to lift off oversteer as you said)

Battle was awesome. Big accomplishment for the folks at Seeker to set up an FF to compete with a 4WD in wet conditions, no less. Also, where can I get that Seeker shirt? It looks too cool 🥶
As a Honda owner and therefore fan, having great appreciation for the brand and its products, I gotta say, that AMG wiped the floor with the Civic. And that's not a bad thing to any of us. On the contrary
A legend driver + Civic FK8 = Beast mode kept playing that 90deg curve part how that FK8 pulls away 😅😎🚗 All in all great car performances and cool drivers More power to them
Everyone knows the a45 has a lot of lag that’s why it has 400 hp so all the civic driver had to was slow down before the 90 degree bend and then speed up again and that creates a gap for the a45
the fact that he blamed himself for the second race shows what a honorable driver he is GOAT
😄
How did you get keiichi’s face in your comment? Lol

When Tsuchiya-san exiting the corner then accelerate, I feel like seeing a Fujiwara zone IRL.
Wow the civic is unbelievable. Imagine now dry surface and further tuning to reach the amg´s costs. This FF car is just a beast
Agreed!

@@trcs3079 it doesn't need further tunning, as it is now on track it will beat the benz.
今の時代こんな熱いの少ないから見てて楽しいな
素晴らしいバトルでしたね！
A45 is definitely on a different level but Tsuchiya 's amazing driving skill made FK8 to reach the same level as the A45
I think so, ff has no chance again awd in wet surface.. but that crazy old man doing some incredible job.. mr stuchiya is a real legend

the A45 is actually really cheap compared to the Type R, almost same price second hand.

100 horses more? not sure about that, unless it's the a45s? standard a45 is about 350bhp vs round 320 in the civic

This was a good race. Tsuchiya showed out and showed off his skills in that Civic Type R. Think about it: an FF against a 4WD in semi wet conditions.
This channel deserver much more views!!! Very great content!!

I'm soo sorry for very bad japanese translation, I'm just using Google translate 🥲
Man this was a good battle.... to get the FK8 to oversteer like that DK had to be getting it really good. 🤘
Honestly both cars seemed to be struggling thru the tighter turns, wet conditions and vehicle weight seems to play a big role
Civic Type R looks so cool in Red almost like Angry Bird
A45内装めちゃくちゃかっこいいやんけ
That reminds me the fight between Hamilton and Verstappen....nice video
The chassis and suspension of the fk8 must be truly incredible to oversteer on power for a ff car with so much power
Honda pulled it off with the EK9 and DC2 Type-R so if anyone can pull it off, its them
Pretty much every Honda has been able to do that right off of the showroom floor since like 1984.
It doesn't oversteer on power (power oversteer) that's impossible for FF, it's lift-off oversteer and chassis balance oversteer...
Not power. Tsuchiya-san said he slowed mid corner causing weight to shift foward.

Hahaha, Orido really called it with Taniguchi getting his switch flipped after the first run xD
FK8オーナーですけど勝負はAMG A45の勝ちですね(笑)SEEKERと土屋職人だからあの速さで勝負出来てた（職人凄すぎる）
でも冷静に考えるとあのやたら重いR34より更に100キロ重いA45がチューンしたFK8と対等にこのクソ狭い峠で走れるってのも凄いですよ、同じ2Lターボですからねしかも....
今のAMGってどのクラスも恐ろしい完成度ですよね😅どのクラスも重いのに、車の性能でカバーしてしまうという…

織戸選手、シーカーの赤いシビック見ると運転したくないですよね。当時、小学生でしたがあれは衝撃的でした。ただ、その後織戸選手が峠から姿を消したことが一番悲しかったですね。

土屋さんの腕がなければ 完璧にシビックが負けてた訳だ
ホンダ好きとしては土屋さんが一矢報いてくれてホッとしてます😝
でもメルセデス速えー！
I realised when they showed the weight comparison that the A45 is over 500lbs heavier. That's quite significant to offset its horsepower advantage.
best car channel in the universe
one of the finest recommendations i've ever had
Wow what a great channel! I'm a noob to it we don't have anything really like this in English media. Brilliant!
Civic Type R is an absolute track beast

ドライバーも車もすごい。
チューニングしてる時点でイーブンじゃないよ。A45sはノーマル。
ノーマル対決ならタイプR完敗。
よく車両価格＋チューニング費用で高性能外車にタメ張ってる国産車スゲーって言ってる人いるけど内装や走りの質感、先進装備、ブランド力全負けしてるっていう事に気づいてない。そこもひっくるめての価格差なのよ。
ただ、最新のタイプRはそこを努力していて全体的な質感UPをして且つ500万切ってるのは本当に素晴らしいと思う。

Best show on the planet.
車体のポテンシャルはメルセデスの方が上だと思う。200kgの車重ハンデを駆動方式と馬力で帳消しにしてしまう。
昨今速さを求めると四駆のトラクションに勝るものは無いのかと一石投じるホンダのFFシビックに私はスポーツカーらしいスピリットを感じる。
不利なのは100も承知！
それでもホンダはシビックを四駆せず、FFと言う駆動方式で速さを極めようとするこれがシビれる！
SEEKERさん！頑張って今の四駆を蹴散らすタイプRを作ってください！
応援してます❗
あと、ドローに持ち込んでくれた土屋さん！やっぱり峠の魔王は土屋さんですね！！！最高の走りでした✨
