A friend sent this link http://c-racing.web.infoseek.co.jp/index2.html which has videos of a Gymkhana in Japan. Without the curbs (yes, I said curbs) the course would be fun.

 

I love it

Always wondered how they knew or decided how many times to spin around each cone. Since some they go around 1, 2 or 3 times...

Good stuff Dave

Wow! That's some precision drifting. Makes those "d1GP" videos seem a little cheesy.

It would be interesting to know whether some of those types of driving techniques (and car setup) could be effectively utilized in Solo2 autox...

 

I'll show the MR2 (SW20) video to my brother who has an MR2 (SW20) and does that everyday in the college parking garage.

 

Wow, watch the 1st attack by the nsx on the harder course. Yuck. When he goes through the slalom....give me a break. Thats some nasty driving, lol. I probably couldn't drift around some of the single cones like he does, but damn I could have taken the slalom about 20x faster.

 

Haha, even the autocross MR2s in Japan don't have matching colors for their front and rear rims.
