Tag: Beauty Battle

Hachi-roku.com.au blogged about it some time ago: Drift Special – Beauty Battle (girl drifting)… I only was able to watch part of it but it is absolutely hilarious!

The main story is that three girls share an AE86 and start drifting with it. They battle with various other stars (featuring earlier!) and if I’m not mistaken: it all ends well with them. ;)

This is a special of the Drift series by Futoshi Jinno. If all other parts of the series are this horrible the director definitely created something worse than The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift.

Ah well… Three girls drifting in a hachi-roku are always entertaining enough. I think I’ll take the time and watch it tonight…

A month ago I already blogged about the Drift: Beauty Battle and last week I wrote part 2: the Drift: Beauty Battle part 2.

Today I watched parts 2 and 3 and boy it is baaaaaad! :D

Today’s highlights were:
Master of heel-to-toe technique while being clueless about driving/drifting
She just got her license the other day… Do I need to explain this more??

Drifting with the handbrake and pulling it through the entire corner and revving hard
Makes more sense to me to use the handbrake to loose traction and let it go and step on the accelerator while going sideways. The way she uses the handbrake is more how to perform a FWD drift, so doing that with a RWD should result in actually slowing down

Stabilizer bar against shaking in a corner
I think this is more due to something being lost in translation, but this is how they explain the stabilizer bar: it helps against shaking of the car when accelerating and with the same concept stabilizing the roof of the car.

Uhm… Well, it does help against tilting (shaking?) of the car when cornering, especially when accelerating in the corners. And of course it keeps your car horizontal (roof?) compared to the suspension. But how they explain it it is utter crap and only confuses the viewer… ;)
