 Hello and welcome back to the channel for another driver spotlight episode you we are staring at a carbon drift team car and Got a bit of an interesting episode because we have two of the carbon drift team cars here for today's driver spotlight This is one of them. So let's get into the episode mission family and all social media all of which are found in the description box below So when I say we have two cars from the carbon drift team the first one right here is from CDT Bando It's an RB26 DET 700 horsepower HDS series S14 definitely an amazing looking car. You know my love for S chassis So the Hungarian drift series that you know car looks amazing. The livery is on point It's definitely a very sweet looking car This is one of the two cars from the CDT team that I have here for today's driver spotlight But the first one is that a CDT Bando So before we get ripping this car a few credits are to be given out to those that are due credit And that is for the car model for this S14 was done by you know, Louis Stanley if I'm butchering your names, I do apologize car data by Luke Versma Danger graphics coming in with the livery and bunch of the miscellaneous stuff by CDT Nirvana who is another driver in today's driver spotlight So we're gonna get into his car after this so yes for team definitely a very cool car and You know, I definitely love the way the bumper and the wide fenders are so we're gonna go full send on this here for today Because well we came to drive so let's Change it up here Let's get the wheel cam turned on So we got the wheel cam turned on Definitely a very loud car and a big thank you to CDT Bando for allowing me access to his HDS car this car is aggressive turbo lag is gonna be something I'm happy used to it's this car because it does Feel like it has a little bit of turbo lag because of the big turbo so Hopefully we can get this right. We are in VDC autopolis Let's go full send. Hopefully we don't Send it off track We can see if we can't do a clean run in the first one fourth gear Fail to initiate there. Yep fail initiation Give me a second to get used to the car and then we might be on a good full run here Manage that transition pretty well Little left foot brake to pull that back in Left foot brake there coming in across the line not a bad run for the first run in this car So I'm definitely having a lot of fun doing all of these driver spotlights and getting a chance to drive all these You know pro cars and all these different series cars you guys are definitely enjoying the series So like I said the more the cars come in the more we're gonna be doing these driver spotlights It's so fun to get behind the wheel of other people's pro cars. So big. Thank you to CDT Bando for giving me access to his his whip for today's episode We're gonna do another one run or two here And then we're gonna switch up to the other CDT car for today's episode It's kind of a team spotlight as well carbon drift team definitely a very sleek livery and Definitely appreciate the colorings All right, let's try and get initiated clutch kick initiation. It's a little better. We're a little bit off that clip but we're managing to Someone get a smooth run in the car We were punted that clip, but for an overall run on the car I'll take it not the perfect or the cleanest runs, but Clutch kick initiation kind of has it's in on the first turn But we managed to get a pretty solid run out of the car We're gonna be taking the car to Irwindale because you know we always end these episodes off on Irwindale But we're gonna check out the other car after this one and that one Apologize to headphone users in advance for that car So we're gonna go full send for a third time here Keep this car in boost Little clutch kick initiation little late on the initiation a lot of clutch kicks there to keep keep it in power Turbo lag is something I definitely got to get used to driving Pull that in full throttle no lift See we can kick this no lift to No lift there just a very faint feather less break definitely after one or two runs was getting a little more comfortable in the car so Definitely like the car first impressions cars very controllable. I like it has a good amount of snap It doesn't snap too crazy. It has a good amount of control. It's just the turbo lag I is something I have to get used to driving So let's switch up cars to the other driver spotlight for CDT Nirvana And now we're gonna take both these cars to Irwindale, so let's switch up cars meet you guys back on grid So the next car up is another CDT car of CDT Nirvana the FD RX 7 this car is Rest in peace head from users. That's why I said it so I have it in gear right now So you aren't hearing the actual car I'm gonna start it up for a second here and let you guys hear this rotary from hell as I like to call it We're gonna start it up Got that lumpy idle going Just banging red line on this RX 7. It's definitely a crazy looking Aggressive car Nirvana used to drive in the RX 7 back and forth seven days So it's kind of cool to see him back in an FD chassis So so as we did with Bando's car credit where credit is due So this is a VDC RX 7 public car But the livery of course just like on Bando's was done by Danger Graphic this Beautiful rear mount radiator back here done by JSI mystified as well as the converted model from TUS Speed X So these are big names you guys have heard on the channel before JSI TUS teams and people I've driven with before great group of guys Definitely enjoy driving with them increased my driving skills So it's great to get my hands on one of Nirvana's cars here and everything else done on this car was done by Nirvana himself So we're gonna go full rip on this rest of these headphone users turn it down a little bit this thing's gonna be high rev So let's go full send on this car here and see what we can do is it here. I'm gonna get the wheel cam turned on What's just so loud? Gonna heat up the tires It's an angry F1 car Jesus this sound is insane and this car is definitely crazy I loved the S14 and this the color combinations great Contrast of cars Rotary and RB26 so see what we can do with Nirvana's car here on the VDC track Let's kick it in. Oh my lord All right tires weren't heated up enough Whoo do it a little grass roots in your car Nirvana. I apologize for that. I Don't think the gear ratio might not be set correctly. Oh, man. We're almost out of gas already This car is so aggressive and so aggressive sounding It's gonna take me a second like when I was running the 14 took me a lap to kind of get used to it So now we're going to go full send again We're gonna actually heat up the tires a little bit more because I don't think they were hot enough Last time and that's why we went a little bit off course All right, I feel like we got some heat in these in these rear tires So let's try and not go full send into the grass this time. Sorry about your splitters and everything Nirvana Throw it in fourth Little bit easier of an entry kind of bring it in just so we can get a full pull out to the clip The transition is really smooth just like the 14 is banging red line across the line this car is Crazy loud. Like I said, I apologize to headphone users for this one whoo That that idle that just high f1 pitch is Definitely the rotary from hell So we're gonna go one more pull here Then we're gonna head to Irwindale with both the cars get back in Bandos 14 and see what Bandos 14 can do in Irwindale on the bank We're gonna try to get a better initiation this time. I just can't get over that red line. That is that is insane It's just so loud I feel like you would need like multiple earplugs in order to actually drive this car in real life No, we won't full send in the grass again. Sorry Nirvana. We're gonna we'll make up for that at Irwindale We did get one full pull in this car. This car is just so loud I love how these cars float and both of them transition very well And it's something that is hard to find in comp cars. Some cars are way too snappy. These ones are very dialed I think they have a very dialed setup on these cars So let's head over to Irwindale and go full send in Bandos 14 and see what we can do All right, so we're back behind the wheel of the RB26S14 of CDT Bando So once again a big thank you to Bando and Nirvana for letting me get my hands on their cars You know and it's definitely you know when you have two of the same team It's definitely really cool to do both of them and kind of do a team and driver spotlight you know carbon drift team and you know CDT Nirvana and CDBando definitely some aggressively fun cars and This one is not as loud as the RX7, but it does sound really good So let's see what we can do at Irwindale in Bandos 14 work here clutch kick it in Kind of stay a little bit lower on the wall till we realize where the same thing stick All right, it sticks actually so those things stick kind of where I put it So that's a good thing All right Yeah, this car kind of sticks exactly where I put it so we can be a little more aggressive in his car And we can go way higher up on the bank on initiation because it kind of where you put it You set it and forget it So I do like how he has the door placard of his name on the windows That's definitely a really cool thing something I've been looking and doing more is putting names on the rear windows and things of that nature So it's definitely a cool thing Something you know, you don't often see so kudos to him on that one All right, we're gonna see we can't stick this up on the wall and not in the wall a Little less angle than I would like to be but much higher on the bank than the first run More angle there there we go a little bit of a handbrake control there Gaslight on these com cars running very minimal fuel a very solid run I feel and you know what I love how this 14 handles. It's definitely very Good to transition quick to angle, but it had it's not over snappy So some cars and some com cars have driven are super over snappy if you're on throttle on a transition It's it'll just snap on you real quick and you'll lose control We're gonna see if we can't do one more pull in his car before we run out of gas We're gonna switch up to the RX 7 from hell to end the episode off Once again a big thank you to CDT Bando for giving me the opportunity to rip his car And we are gas Big thank you to CDT Bando for hooking me up with the keys or his little push button to his 14 Definitely an amazing car. I definitely had a lot of fun driving it So we're gonna go test Nirvana's RX 7 here before we end this episode off So let's switch up cars. So we are we are in the back in the rotary from hell of CDT Nirvana And we're gonna go rip Irwindale with this car one or two runs or until we're on a gas because I know his cars are also very low on gas So we're gonna go until we probably run out of the gas just I think it's two runs Which is about how they these cars normally set up hard flick entry Kind of float it up to the wall. So it's kind of very floaty up there Which is very a little bit different than the 14, but that's everybody's driving style is different. Oh my this car is just Lighting these tires up on the wall That was a very solid run in this car. I do say so myself Out of the box no real tuning just changed the gear ratio a little bit Because it felt like we would have been bouncing red line way too much in force gear If I would have kept the ratio that was on the car advantage of having adjustable ratios We're probably only gonna get one more run here in this car So a big thank you to CDT Bando and see each of Anna for letting me get their hands on their cars Definitely an amazing thing carbon drift team a little spotlight for you guys today That initiation is so aggressive I Can't see where I'm going That was such an aggressive entry. I do not know how we held that without dying. Oh We're gonna loop it. We kind of looped it towards the end Nirvana's car definitely very Snappy compared to Bandos, but that's you know a testament to drivers Personal preference and the rotary is dead. We're out of gas So that'll do it here for this episode here on a set of course that driver spotlight CDT Bando and CDT Nirvana and a little team spotlight of carbon drift team So make sure you guys follow me on all social media all of which are found in the scripture box below And as always I thank you guys for coming back and watching. I'm evil rabbit. I'll see you guys on the track
