However, the movie we are talking about this time is not Jay Chou's "Head Text D", but a Japanese refurbished animated film "Head Text D Legend 1 Awakening". Of course, the popular plots of screen movies are presented one by one in animated movies. In this review, Che Shao intercepted 3 answers from Akihiko Nakatani, let's take a look.

1. Is it realistic to drive a drift to tofu?

As soon as the movie came up, AE86 used gorgeous drift to get rid of the FD3S, and we can't help but think about it, is it enough to make enough money to change the tires by drifting to tofu like this every day? Needless to say, every day so drifting, selling tofu money is definitely not enough to change the tires.

Akihiko Nakatani explains, "In the 1990s, the tires used in the AE86 were about 10,000 yen, and if you drift up and down the mountain, you basically had to change the tires in two or three days. According to the calculation of 100 yen per piece of tofu, sending 100 pieces of tofu a day is enough to change a tire. If you just drive up and down the mountain by express train, it is more likely to be true. Also, if you don't drift, the time to go up and down the mountain should be shorter. Only in individual corners, getting the car to some slide may be faster. ”

2. Will the water in the cup spill out?

In the movie, Fujiwara Takumi's father would place a glass of water in the car and ask Takumi not to spill the water while driving. This point is actually impossible to think about, not to mention the big action drift, that is, normal driving, it is inevitable that the turn or brake will shake and spill the water.

Akihiko Nakatani also said that if you practice for the purpose of smooth driving, you can indeed do not let the water in the cup spill out, but in the movie, not only the speed is very fast, but also drifting in the corner, and it is basically impossible not to spill it. Even if it is driving on the track, because the car will constantly do the center of gravity shifting during the driving, and it is very fast and intense, if you put a cup of water in the car, it will definitely spill out.

3. Can gutter bending really be achieved?

Presumably, the drivers were most impressed by the AE86's winning FD3S with the gutter bending method, but can this drift method really be achieved? At the beginning, so many cars have lost, I am afraid that the drainage ditch bending method is only a movie bridge. However, Akihiko Nakatani replied in the affirmative, and this method of completion can be achieved in certain circumstances.

Nakatani said this method of cornering can be applied in rally races, because the track of rally races is often set on mountain roads or in the wild, and some corners have gutters, and then in certain circumstances it is faster to walk through the gutters. Chen Zhen, who later participated in the drift training course in Tsuchiya Kei City, also said that the drainage ditch bending method can be practically applied.
