[Global Trends] came to follow me in the melody of the song "Fairy Tale": "You cried and said to me, the first text D is a lie", recently circulated on the Internet a set of car accident pictures, inventory of various sports cars on the mountain road fell into the drainage ditch of the car accident scene, the accompanying text is the "head text D" drainage ditch bending consequences.
Recently, the young master of the tofu shop, Fujiwara Takumi, has made a new movie, so this pit daddy's bending method has been mentioned again, in order to confirm the authenticity of the plot in "Head Text D", I invited Mr. Akihiko Tani, a famous Japanese racing driver, to enjoy the new movie of "Head Text D" together and talk about the gap between the movie plot and reality.
The theme of drag racing has always been the theme of insufficient film and television works, this is not, "Head Text D" has been the finale for almost a year, and a new film version has been out. "The First Text D Legend 1 Awakening", which was released in Japan at the end of 2014, can finally be seen in China, although this is a new movie, but the content is fried cold rice, only the plot of the AE86 duel FD3S in the previous animated First Stage has been slightly modified, and then remade into a movie. However, since it has been remade, the picture must have improved, and it does not hurt to see.
I think many people will have some questions when they first watch "Head Text D", so this time I will call people who have participated in the creation of the comic content of "Head Text D" to watch it together, so that even if there is any doubt, they are not afraid. This person is Mr. Akihiko Tani, a famous Japanese car critic and racing driver.
Mr. Akihiko Nakatani is a well-known Track Racer, Commentator and Contributor in Japan, who served as a judge in the Japan Model of the Year awards for 20 years. He is also an expert in automobile development, and many of Japan's best-selling models are the result of his ingenuity and craftsmanship. He is also a racing driver, and Akihiko Nakatani has been competing in various racing competitions since graduating from high school. He has won many honors in many competitions such as the All Japan Durability Race, F3, super GT series and so on. Mr. Nakatani also regularly tests at the Nürburgring and has extensive track experience. In addition, F1 racing driver Takuma Sato is also his apprentice. At the same time, he also skillfully applies his racing experience to the car evaluation work.
Mr. Nakatani said that at the beginning of the creation of "Head Text D", many plots about drag racing were consulted by the staff of the Japanese car show "Best Motoring". People who don't know "Best Motoring" can understand that this is a Japanese-style, Top Gear-like car review show. At that time, Mr. Nakatani was also the host of the show, often doing track reviews and interpretation of new cars, and even teaching safe driving techniques. Because Mr. Nakatani is an expert in Mitsubishi EVO (picture quote), Mr. Nakatani has been consulted for the content of the EVO competition in "Head Text D". Whether it is manga, anime or movies, there are 86 plots that lose to EVO, which is the result of Mr. Nakatani's suggestion.
Later in the story, Takumi has an opponent from a racing school called "Higashido Juku", which is modeled after the Nakatani Juku racing school founded by Mr. Nakatani in Japan. It can be seen that it is very appropriate to ask Mr. Nakatani to enjoy "Head Text D" together.
As soon as the movie came up, AE86 used gorgeous drift to shake off the FD3S, and we can't help but think about it, is it enough to make enough money to change the tires by drifting like this every day? This problem has often been discussed on the Internet before, but everyone is relying on speculation to infer the feasibility, many of which have brain-dead fans and head text D diehards firmly believe that Japanese tofu is very expensive and enough to afford the cost of raising a car. Let me ask Mr. Nakatani the same question.
The answer is no, it is not possible in reality. Drifting like this every day, the money from selling tofu is definitely not enough to change the tires.
Mr. Nakatani said: "In the era of the movie (the 90s of the last century), the tires used for the AE86 were about 10,000 yen, and if you drifted 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. ”
It seems that sending tofu to practice drifting is really unrealistic, animation is animation after all, don't take it seriously.
In the movie, the Takahashi brothers are the sons of the president of the big hospital, which is commonly known as the rich second generation, and the brothers drive from Akagi to Tyumen in the distance, just to run faster than the locals than to run the mountain road, and sure enough, having money is willful. The plot seems reasonable, but Mr. Nakatani's memories once again pull me back to reality.
Mr. Nakatani: "About 20 or 30 years ago, there were a lot of people who went to the mountains at night to drift, of course, this is illegal, and then it slowly decreased. Although there are many people who run and drift on the mountain road, most of them run and play by themselves, and do not compete, let alone form a team to challenge other people's places. At the same time, Mr. Nakatani analyzed: "There is no timing point on the mountain road, and the communication between the mountain and the mountain can only rely on the walkie-talkie, and the mountain signal in that era was not good, and there was no way to ensure the accuracy of the Time Attack. Therefore, even if someone runs the mountain road, it is everyone who runs and plays by themselves or everyone gathers to run the mountain. ”
Through Mr. Nakatani's interpretation, it can be seen that the plot of "Head Text D" is far from reality. In addition, Mr. Nakatani mentioned that there is a special point in Japan when there is a legal closed mountain road for testing.

At the end of 2014, the Japanese automotive magazine Motorhead organized a theme to close a mountain road in Hakone, and a variety of models such as racing cars, modified cars, rally cars and drift cars that were transported to Japan's SuperGT races were used for time measurement. The mountain road is called Hakone Expressway, which translates to the Hakone Toll Road, but it is privately operated by a company. Previously, this road had been named by Toyo Tire, known as Toyo Tire ターンパイク, and later changed sponsors, named by Mazda, now called Mazda ターンパイク. If necessary, simply contact the operating company to close the entire road for activities. Here's a preview of the video they took:
There are also several matches in the animated version of the header D that are played on this mountain road.
In "Head Text D" you can see that there are still a lot of spectators in the mountains, if there is a real race, will someone just climb to the mountain to see it for tens of seconds, Mr. Nakatani said: "20 or 30 years ago, when running the mountain was popular, there were indeed many people to see at night, and there were many people who liked cars at that time, and everyone was very enthusiastic. However, there are fewer and fewer young people in Japan who like cars, not to mention looking at mountain roads, and there are fewer people who pay attention to motorsport. ”
In the movie, Duan Tuohai's father puts a glass of water on his car so that he can't spill it, and everyone must be curious if this is true? Mr. Tani and I both have our own opinions about this plot.
Easycar once did a topic selection, there is a test is driving the BMW 3 Series travel version through a section full of manhole covers, there is a full cup of water in the cup holder on the car, the goal is not to spill.
I was the one driving the car at the time, and it turned out that the water in the cup would not spill out when I drove steadily. However, if you often accelerate sharply, sharply decelerate the opening, and the water will spill out. For more information, see the article at the time:
Pit Daddy Shabu Lady Five comics and five cars a day
Mr. Nakatani: "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. ”
Seeing that at the end of the film, AE86 won the FD3S with the gutter bending method, can this method be achieved in reality?
Mr. Nakatani said that this method of cornering can be applied in rally races, because the track of rally races is often set up on mountain roads or in the wild, and some corners have drainage ditches, and then in certain circumstances it is faster to walk through the gutters.
Mr. Nakatani: "I used to run a rally, and before the rally there was a road survey link, and the driver would try it out in this link, and if the performance of walking the gutter could be improved, then it could be used during the main race. ”
Later, I talked to Chen Zhen again, who had gone to Japan to attend a drift training class in Kei City, Doya, and also asked him about the drainage ditch. Tsuchiya's answer also says that this can be applied in practice
As mentioned earlier, many racing plots in "Head Text D" will be discussed with real racing drivers, so the plot of this part is still feasible. The ending of the movie is still true, and Takumi wins the challenge of Keisuke by strength. However, movies are always movies, just watch the entertainment, don't learn the movie in reality.
Through Mr. Nakatani's interpretation, we also see what is real and what is fictional. Mr. Nakatani also said that it is precisely because there are too many things that cannot be done in reality, in order to satisfy the ideas in people's hearts, there will be unlimited imagination in movies. Finally, I advise everyone to drive carefully, and learning "Head Text D" will only be the same as the pictures at the beginning of the article.
