Kawabata went on to perform 'The Perfect Drift', Something that Atsushi Kuroi would have been proud of, A drift that seems to defy the laws of physics
wow that is a bad crash...I wonder what caused Saito to understeer? it looked like he tried to pass but ended up with his front wheels in the grass causing his front end ot lose grip and understeer? idk, but i'm definately buying this JDM Opt. DVD
The car didn't understeer at all. Hitting the curb lifted the left side of the car. With both rear wheels lcoked thanks to the LSD drive effectively only went to the back right since it was the only drive wheel on the ground. That's what made the car pull right suddenly.

saito understeer as his wheel hit the curb which gave them grip and sent him into kawabata
dont worry kawabata you will have your day some day ;-)

understeer is when your front wheels LOSE grip, not GAIN grip....The only time that explanation would make sense is if his car was AWD....
