In Car Video of RX-8 at Fuji Speedway, Japan

This is one of our Japanese Members over at www.rx8club.com

He does pretty well, although I think he could do better on his shifting in some of the corners, but his line and overall technique is great...much better than I could do.

Enjoy

good vid... he drives like a complete di<k on the track... LOL. he just blasted through that corner where the STi had to swerve wide. Now I understand about passing on the inside line, but you can't expect traffic in front of you to know you're there. Had that STi not been paying attention that could have been an accident. you pass on the inside when you a) have a clear shot because they aren't following the correct line b) you're hovering door to door and you pass. That STi was planning on taking the correct line, he just started a bit wide. The RX8 broke late and just shot in there.

Hawk is a jewel in the roughHawk is a jewel in the roughHawk is a jewel in the rough
he divebombed the **** out of the STI's apex

He locks up alot braking too, he needs to work on his threshold braking.

Other than that cool video.

They really changed the track after the chicane, i hear they are trying to get F1 to come there instead of suzuka.
