What I meant was, it looks funny for me to be shifting with my left hand. I don't think I could do it....

It is very interesting for me that everybody say left hand shifting seems strange.
I can do shift both left hand and right one because I had been lived in USA for 4 years.Shifting is not so pricise action compare to writing so left hand shifting is natural for me.

Nice!

Okay, that does it! I'm moving to Japan! :D

Who's voice are we hearing?

The last time you posted videos there was some discussion as to whether or not that was a Mustang at Suzuka. Is that a Mustang at Fuji or something that looks like it?

What are the passing rules? Or, are there no rules?

It looked like some of those tight corners at the end are off camber as well. Is that right?

Thanks for posting this.

Great video. Was that a Skyline that took off down the front straight near the end?

were all the cars on the track pushing it as hard as you were? You easily passed up that skyline and evo....thanks for the video by the way! I 've been dying to see what the new fuji track looked like.

Great video, great driving! Interesting to see that the Evo didn't pull away much from you on the straight!

Passing rule is not quite clear but if some cars approaching to the corner in that case inside car has advantage to pass that coener.

The voice that you can hear is my voice.And I spoke Japanese in that video.

All coners are positive camber or flat not off camber.
Sometimes flat corner seems off camber from driver point of view due to roll of vehicle.
