Default Great footage of AP1

Hi Guys,

Not sure if this is a repost or if some of you have seen this clip before but in case you haven't, here you go. I would say it is among some of the best AP1 action footage I've seen.

Dude is a badass, top down full tilt bone stock street tires on the ring while wearing loafers. Doesn't get any better than that.

Let's not forget the lack of helmet.

That "dude" driving the Prototype is a professional racing driver - Motoharu Kurosawa - (Gan-san). Very well respected in Japan - actually those "loafers" are excellent - allows the drivers to "feel" the pressure of the pedals. Gan-San helped Honda fine tune the prototype and played a big roll in the final production model. That Dude is one special man.

with all that track tuning I am surprised they never picked up on the unsettling toe changes as the suspension compressed and unloaded (ap1 issue) , you can see it happening in some of the big dips along the roadway. Awesome driver though.

Cars evolve and improvements are made over time. Applies to any car
