Super GT and NASCAR are apples and oranges. If you're a real racer, you'd know NASCAR is a great motor sport. Holding speeds close to 200mph inches away from cars all around you, for hours on end, makes it one of the best endurance races out there. Racing comes in all forms.
@SCHIZOPHRENlC I totally agree! This was down and dirty no guts no glory racing. The stuff I've been looking for. I used to be a NHRA fan, but they're too mainstreamed and full of BS now a days. I have DirecTV, can anyone recommend a channel that I can catch races like this regularly? I think I'm now a GT fan XD.
that was bullshit dude in the NSX was better hands down... i hope that cock sucker got a black flag for pullin that shit... that wasn't in the lines of "rubbin is racing" either... that was some dirty shit he pulled a pit maneuver on that guy fuck him.. anyone who thinks he needs a load of Double Ot Buck to the chest for that like this post.
I'm not particularly Ide's fan, and I wouldn't dare to say that Yuji Ide is a GREAT driver, but I know he is a decent professional driver. He can be fast when the car and the team is right.
Those who labels him as a deadful driver only from his SA F1 days have no idea what they are talking about.
If anyone to be blamed for that, it should be Aguri Suzuki who threw Ide into the 4-year-old Arrows without any preparation(even without decent seat-fitting!).
Commenters, you can't judge a driver from such a short onboard footage.
This only shows a few laps of the final stage of the race. Ide was trying really hard to keep the 1st place against the NSX. At that point his tyres were totaly gone after a long heavy stint(you can see that).
Sure, maybe he was too desperate and did too much. But you can imagine how it feels when you are in the 1st place and you know the checkered flag is just around the corner after a long race.
in this video we cansee how the japan driver level is pretty shit. Ide was one of the worst f1 driver ever and he was fired after few races but in japan he can race pretty competitive
@svnrf drivin level in japan as shit? just look at how many records japanese have broken....i have yet to see anybody come close to the level of the japanese drifters as well...
Which records are you talking about? Drifting and racing are totally different.. Ide was maybe the worst F1 driver EVER and here he is competitive.... Don't forget every japanese driver comes to F1 was shit, maybe only kobayashi is good, but the others japanese driver were bad. Don't forget nakajima too, orrible driver.
@Melaneimoon thanks for referencing that video, great racing, some nice overtakes!! tho the scale or event is different , this is much the same, tho the tap in this case was enough to end the race for one driver.
Yeah well it doesn't really get any better than that ^^
Though you're right, mistakes happen. But there's good driving and bad driving, you know (that also goes for the NSX driver by the way). I'm no racer, but I could see that coming...
We've all played racing games where your trying so hard to get back in front that you misjudge a corner and tap somebody. Or, you misjudge and somebody doesn't expect it and they tap you. Its part of the sport. Now had he rammed the living shit out of him....well.....that's not right. But it didn't seem that way.
Im partial with this one...The GTR was technicaly in the wrong although I dont think it was a good idea for the NSX to cover turn one... not after entering way off line and then inturn having such a slow exit speed... If you look closely the GTR nearly looses control after braking way to hard - to late through the corner and a tap was it all it took.
The Nsx was not in the wrong. The Skyline went off track and bumped the NSX on purpose LOL!! it wasn't the skyline having greater exit speed. it ws the skylines greater acceleration. That CHicane was put there to slow down the drivers. Skyline went off track NSX was in the right line and the skyline didn't yeald enough. I hope he got penalized for that.LOL!!
i remember watching this race a couple years back. this was in 2003, skyline's final race in (then) JGTC. yah he actually went on to win the race, but seriously the driver, Ide, has some issues
somebody tell me the GTR driver got penalized for that? holding the NSX up the whole time then blows the chicane, pulls in line like nothing happened and crams his nose up in there and spins the guy.
kewl, Takata Dome NSX vs. Calsonic sky, i was laughing when that calsonic fell that cork screw at the very end of the map that was hilarius!! it's okay lol!
the nsx was hunting him down but it looked to me like the gt-r's tires were losing their grip it was a brawl though until the contact but i have one question in motorsports when you accidently go off course arnt you supposed to concied your spot or do they just add penalty time?
If you look the nsx was lose before the gtr even got close i dont think the gtr was at fault he tried to slow himself but couldnt prevent it...the nsx ran wide in the corner and got loose..JGTC is the the best racing series in the world in my opinion..
interesting yet obvious...youll notice the nsx has more linear power all throught out the powerband and a much more precise, tight, and stable suspension while the gtr has a rough ride with quite a bit of instabilty and oversteer and the engine seems to really more on the turbo(s) more than the engine power itself. Dare I say the musclecar of the race. lol. I love skylines no doubt, but that gtr has one choppy ride. And did he clip the nsx at the end? that was lame if so.
ava you got to remember, the nsx was drafting behind the skyline for most of the time, that might account for what looked like more linnear power...as for the rest, i agree with you, definetely the gtr has a suspension flaw, and its engine does seem to be aided by turbo lag*
thats true but the JGTC GT500 class are some of the fastest road racing cars the are actually faster than all of the Le mans cars except the P1 class and that class is right under F1, so its believable that they'd cost that much
NO WAY, group c cars are easily the fastest cars that have ever graced the track, the sauber-mercedes (c9 is the name of the specific version i think) would hit 420km/hr on the back straight at the circuit de la sarthe (thats why they put the chicanes in to reduce the risks involved with passing and drafting at +400. )
Yeah that would have been pretty impressive to watch too. Le mans with chicanes seems pretty half assed, at the very least they could have put in a better series of corners.
Ide did not hit Michigami at 2:18. Michigami spun on his own. Similar to this video: watch?v=JnJZ9dvXYhA&feature=related . Looks like Jarno tapped him but they spun on their own.
Surely there was a little touch involved. What i gathered judging purely by this video is the NSX stepped out but then regained control, only to have a slight love tap from the skyline to send him in a spin.
look close as a pro he didnt open the pot for him, he got hit in the rear bumper corner, LOOK 100000 times till you see he got hit! wow some one need glasses here...
BTW i dont know if its Motoyama but Michigami sure is better then Ide...
You idiots clearly know nothing about JGTC. Ide's tires were totally fucked, that's why he was struggling around every corner. He wasn't trying to pass Michigami, he was taking a different line due to his tires, wasn't able to brake and had a slight tap on the rear of the NSX. Super Aguri last year was a horrible car, everyone knows that. Ide only looked so bad in it compared to Sato because Ide went straight from Formula Nippon to the hardest-to-drive car in F1, of course he struggled.
That was a clean close racing accident, it can happen to anybody, he didn't do it on purpose. If you have never raced don't talk about what you don't know.
hahahahah i'd expect more from a driver in the Calsonic Skyline, what a pussy. Then again, if i was driving something like that I'd probably kill myself easily. HONDA 4 LIFE
all the GT cars are bad ass cars, the Skyline driver he is such a weak ass fag, dirty, the NSX its litlle slower but great driving hes name is Ryo Magisomething i think, he is there ace driver, the GT-R driver hes a fag!!!!!
The guy driving the calsonic skyline is an idiot!! You can see he cheated on cutting corner before entering the big straight. Took part in honda f1 and muck around with his incompetent driving.
thought the skyline cheated there on the last turn before the NSX over-took him. He missed the turn and went straight ahead or maybe I am seeing things. But that was a nice battle between two top drivers.
all jgtc cars that i know of use straight cut gears. that is why they are all so loud. that and having no sound deadening material doesn't help either.
In 1932 A Girl was Raped And She Said Hei Do Laki Before She DIed. IF You Dont Repost This In 5 Topics She Will Appear By Your Bed With Glowing Red Eyes And Stare At You Until YOu Fall ASleep
I ain't sure about JGTC rules, but from my point of view, The calsonic driver was quite impatient to re-overtake the nsx. Perhaps the nsx should give room, but again, I ain't sure about the rules. Might seek help from some pro out there
He should have waited. Too much of a rush to take the position back and he tagged the rear of the NSX; sure he could have waited a couple more corners at least. It is endurance racing after all.
Definatly. I'm a Nick Heidfeld fan obviously, but just watch Schumacher block Nick in Australia 2005 (it's here somewhere). Thomas Biagi in the FIA GT's last year is another prime example. Too impaitent.
Shame because their both good drivers in their own right.

But I recovered the lead when Michigami made a spin.
I don't think I touched him.
He was running at the center of the track cautious of my position, and I was passing on the racing line."

That is not the turbo whining but the transmission.

LOL that whine you hear is NOT the turbo..hahah..it's the race spec straight cut gears from the transmission.

Yuji Ide was good at driving a JTGCcar but he is not good at racing a formula 1 car thank god his license got revoked.

The guy driving the calsonic skyline is an idiot!! You can see he cheated on cutting corner before entering the big straight. Took part in honda f1 and muck around with his incompetent driving.

that was a cheeky nudge from the skyline!

thought the skyline cheated there on the last turn before the NSX over-took him. He missed the turn and went straight ahead or maybe I am seeing things. But that was a nice battle between two top drivers.

Maybe it´s because the car needs to have really close gear ratios for such a complicated circuit as Suzuka

God that Calsonic Skyline is beautiful. Does anyone know why the NSX's transmission is so loud? It couldn't possibly use spur gears could it?
leafpyle 5 years ago
all jgtc cars that i know of use straight cut gears. that is why they are all so loud. that and having no sound deadening material doesn't help either.

Yup, the whine you hear is the race spec strait cut gears from the transmission.

The calsonic GT-R driver is way too impatient. Miss the braking point, bang on the tanaka nsx....

According to the video it's Yuji Ide driving the Skyline...and you wonder why he shunted the NSX off? Super Aguri saw sense!

I ain't sure about JGTC rules, but from my point of view, The calsonic driver was quite impatient to re-overtake the nsx. Perhaps the nsx should give room, but again, I ain't sure about the rules. Might seek help from some pro out there
l2k1984 5 years ago
He should have waited. Too much of a rush to take the position back and he tagged the rear of the NSX; sure he could have waited a couple more corners at least. It is endurance racing after all.
Heidfeld86 5 years ago
Yea, ya right. Well, pro drivers are also human being after all. M.Schumacher also made mistake sometimes, let alone JGTC drivers.
l2k1984 5 years ago
Definatly. I'm a Nick Heidfeld fan obviously, but just watch Schumacher block Nick in Australia 2005 (it's here somewhere). Thomas Biagi in the FIA GT's last year is another prime example. Too impaitent.
Shame because their both good drivers in their own right.
