heres an update after driving it for almost 5K miles: this car is absolutely phenomenal..its scary how precise and accurate it is in terms of handling, acceleration and the overall experience. I cant begin to fathom what these are like modified with the right parts seeing how perfect they are in their stock forms.
Turkee Sonvich I kept my car stock for the first 7 years of ownership. I used to wonder the same thing; now I no longer have to. It gets better when modified [correctly] ☺
Gan San is a LEGEND! You could not get that car around there faster if you tried! Bouncing off curbs at 125mph with the hood down, not dropping below 8,000 the whole way -he really tore it a new one!
Strange that it has a UK registration yet it is a Japanese LHD prototype. Looking at the DVLA it was first registered on the 5th of august 1998 and has been untaxed since 1st september '99.
i believe hes revmatching the gearbox with the engine so the downshift dont slow the car something like the heel toe technic except he dont need to break at that points
In alot of cases, if you downshift to quickly without matching the rpm that the car was at when you pushed the clutch in, the rear end will chatter the tires because the engine is trying to catch up with the higher gear ratio.
No helmet, sun glasses and nice shoes LIKE A BOSS
Like Senna, to be precise
Gan san legend, its like a test drive for him, just playing around.
He drove more respectful than most of the tourists you run into at the ring...
Because he is Japanese.. 🤙
From the leather jacket, to the sunglasses, to the white socks and loafers... it's like Senna in the NSX-R.
+JoeBlo2 That's how you drive Hondas
No, this is Motoharu Kurosawa otherwise known as Gan-san
+Nikola Begonja are you stupid? we know that
Nikola Begonja "like Senna"
NSX-R
sorry, misunderstood that part
He's driving this thing to the limit without a sweat!

It’s kph not mph
Mickaël Jackson's heal n toe
Michaeruu Jack-san
Michael Jackson's hee hee(l) and toe
I know, I'm 3 years late
the Gan San was living in 8k RPM
kwikKat more like 9k RPMs lol... it's an AP1
The best video ever of an S2000 round the RIng. An iconic clip!
stock exhaust sounds so clean, kind of like a trumpet or another type of musical horn instrument.
Turkee Sonvich That’s the engine you are hearing
no helmet, no gloves, white socks and mocassins: that's the old school drivers :)

nice driving skills.
Motoharu "Gan San" Kurosawa
1:33 Double clutch
Wow, I've never seen a double clutch that fast. Why did he double clutch a downshift?
That was quick
Awesome!
no helmet, no seatbelt and just a pair of shades. no fucks given.
I literally crashed my s2000 2 days ago, saddest thing ever. Cried in the ambulance
Got a new one yet?
@@undercoverlord your timing is pretty impressive. I've actually been planning a new build and have been looking for s2k's
Dem, comment was 7 years ago, still replied, hows that s2k plan?
Its fucken awesome to watch a skilled professional driver like Gan San driving the Nurburgring so effortlessly compared to the other amateurs lol
5 FR-S owners disliked this.
+Sonic_1000 God I hate FRS drivers....
+Sonic_1000 I could not find a mint S2000 so i settled with the FRS. Don't be hatin.
same ... and I slapped on intial d paint job.
NSX is the way to go ... Senna's play toy
Only when changing down or when he's about to start braking. Gan San is King!
Goat 🐐

VERY great pilot !!!

@@valt888 pretty sure he was on that lap. Gansan don't fuck about
Owning an S2000, this video is insane, the level this man is at.
THIS is what the BRZ / GT-86 should sound like :D
Badass Old Gan-San :o
~8:15 BTG
big balls
are those stock ap1 oem suspension in that car in the video?
That's amazing! This car has so much potential! Damn!
no one is gonna mention the fact they made this in japan, and tested it in germany but its left hand drive?
how can't you like this?
being tested on the old coursheeee
Channeling his Senna from the NSX Suzuka run I see. Sunglasses and white socks with loafers...str8 boss.
I hope you enjoy it. I got mine almost a year ago.
Fuckin crazy japan on the steering wheel, it's a genious!
I love this meter.
I mean, its still a great car. And they did make a hard top they're just incredibly rare
this is really cool..keiichi and the s2000
He hit's the rev limiter quite a bit. lol
This guy got some serious skills!
Thats pure class... I mean the White tennis socks in Black leather shoes... hehe
Fuckin A, this guy DOMINATES!

And he's doing this with dress pants and dress shoes.
well this must have been somewhen in 1998 or 1999 so it apparently hasnt affected anything...
Some ninja shit going on here :O
No helmet, like a boss.
Is it me or did he keep was he red lining the car a lot?
Gan San!!!
i miss senna.......:(
soo fucking smoooth
Reminds me of Senna
Heh.. Gan San has a little different driving techincue. This is Keichi Tsuchiya
what? no it is gan san.
速すぎ！笑
Fell sorry for you :(
@majch thats how a honda is suppose to be driven.
Hilarious voice over
some great heel toe
Looks like takeshi kitano is driving around the Nordschleife.
poor gear box, but pretty nice control !
07:10 la famosa curva donde todos los weones chocan XD.
yee he converted it before he typed it.....
stelvio is pants, too tight, full of people on push bikes and falling rocks, i wont be going back!
But the voice over said 125mph. We all know that the speedo is in kph, S2000's can't go 220mph.
Lol he is not wearing seatbelt?
to bad I'm to tall for one of these :( my accord will do for now I guess.
Like a bawwwwsss!
Lap time?
Isn't it Keiichi Tsuchiya?
+Ragi91 Gan San.
