Happy new year special!

TUNED CAR

Tetsuya Ota goes all out on the circuit!

I don't know what kind of year it will be, but for now

To celebrate the start of 1995, I attended the Amcraid driving event held at Tsukuba Circuit. We asked racing driver Tetsuya Ota to test-drive five flashy tuned cars.

Laugh and blow away the dark social conditions with a tuned car. If you do so, you will surely find something good!

After connecting the patch, RX made a rocket start that felt like it was kicked off, and the RX danced out to the Tsukuba Circuit. In an instant, it hits the rev limit, 2nd gear 3 4 5 and 6 in no time. The feeling of acceleration is about twice that of normal. Exit the S curve in 4th gear and enter the first hairpin and step on the brakes. The stopping power that works hard is also strong. As I released the brakes and turned the steering wheel, I braced myself, saying, "I'm going to go under." RX enters the corner smoothly and smoothly.

Aiming for the strongest GT-R on public roads!!

The Trust RX is a tuned car that was developed with the goal of being able to run on public roads in less than 1 minute at the Tsukuba Circuit. The base GTR boasts the strongest touring car race, but it has strong understeer from the beginning and is not good at small turns. Simply increasing the power will not result in a time. I was curious about how they overcame that, so I boarded the RX.

Tetsuya Ota, who loves sports cars, is a racing driver born in 1959. Continuing from last year, he will continue to drive the Taisan Star Card F40 in 1995 in the All Japan GT Championship. Thank you!

The console is so densely packed with measuring instruments that even a full-fledged endurance machine would turn blue, just like the cockpit of a jet plane. Wait, I can't check it while driving anyway, so I listen to the explanation moderately and check only the tachometer, oil pressure gauge and water temperature gauge. A racing club with a 600-horsepower capacity with a direct feel.

In order to eliminate the GTR-specific understeer, this car adjusts the suspension and sets it to oversteer, and the grounding of the front is greatly increased. However, as it stands, the grip of the rear is reduced by the amount that the front is biting at the start, and the traction is reduced and the power is overpowered. Therefore, the ATTESA mechanism was also modified to advance the timing of the shift to 4WD, thereby suppressing oversteer at the start. The setting is exquisite, and if you drive with an understanding of it, you can corner much better than normal. It can be said that the RX, which has potential comparable to the N1 machine, is the strongest GTR that runs on public roads.
