- Everyone knows grip racing is faster than drifting, right? I channeled some inner Keiichi Tsuchiya this past weekend and put this theory to the test. It's a battle of grip vs drift at the autocross - which will win?

You go MCH, he is such a good driver!!
Grip forsure with this layout, with drifting you have to do a few of these corners far less rapidly.
it didn't hurt me as much as i thought it did, but yeah still lost a little time. probably gathered it up best i could.
Yah, im responding from my other channel lol but in my RX8 on certain tracks there's turns like 11 at LagunaSeca if you do a low angle slide on entry and just stand on it in apex you get a slight countersteer exit but the RPM stays up right at the point that it needs to be to be in powerband to run up the straight. Terrible on tire life, lol but there's no amount of quarters at any arcade that produces more fun.
I need more pedal cam so I can learn from you
Just picked up a go pro 9, now I'll have higher quality dash and foot cam. But might want to find a POV where you can see my hands.
Really like the helmet mount so I can see my hand movement as well as head movement, or in my case lack thereof.
@@GTI_Autocross agree, I gotta get an adapter to put new go pro on helmet or perhaps over shoulder
@rx8matt I bought a whole bunch from Amazon. Happy to give you some next time I see you
@@GTI_Autocross dang, yeah I'll take you up on that offer. Thanks!
Put the petal to the metal!!!!
