I was a fan of this particular car before I had even bought the Skyline in Japan, and I’m an even bigger fan now that Yuusuke Kitaoka has the BN Sports Type III bodykit.
After last weekend’s false start, this was a lot of fun, even if the battery ran out almost immediately and I couldn’t film any more. This video was from Thursday morning when I was still messing around with toe and tyre pressure settings.
Even though the car feels a lot more familar now after two whole days of driving it, I still haven’t had the chance to practice on Minami Course for this weekend’s D1 Street Legal East. I might have to sit down with some Option DVDs with in-car video from D1 and do some image training on the couch…
I was going to editorialise a bit here, but since it was going to be unrelated to AE86s, and because my column for the UK’s Banzai Magazine is due in a couple of days and I need to save up my opinion juice, I’ll save it for another post.
Until then, enjoy the first half of Noriyaro’s coverage of the 6th of August AE86 meeting at Nikko Circuit.
I saw this guy on the highway the other day. He zoomed past me at about 160km/h, swerving through traffic the whole time, which made it a bit hard to catch up and follow him while holding the camera out the window!
His mudflaps were about an inch off the ground. Try to imagine this going about twice as fast as everyone else, and you might understand why I took this pic.
