Best Motoring Video: Touge Showdown Special w/ Tommi Makinen

StiTypeC · 01-06-2008, 08:38 PM

Hey all, WRC Champ Tommi Makinen is featured in this Best Motoring video, so I thought you guys would be interested. It's a pretty good video series of Makinen taking on the Gunsai touge with his WRC spec Impreza, so enjoy!

that was freaking awesome

flytojungho · 01-06-2008, 11:31 PM

he's good!

watching him LFB and throttle up around a bend sliding sideways at ~60mph is jaw dropping. I think you can hear the center and front diffs locking up. I love the fact that he now preps Group N Subarus in his "retirement". Tommi Mäkinen Racing Ltd :.

Very nice! I find myself hitting the replay button again...

Is that on one of their DVD's or no? I wouldn't mind having that

I never realized how much footwork goes into it. Nonstop brake, gas, or both at once. That's gotta be tough on a car.

The end of the secong video, when hes on the straight away, and then he kicks the car out and turns around, to go the other way is nasty!
