Amazing. 325 00:21:06,733 --> 00:21:12,200 But I really doubt how much influence it would have on the speed. 326 00:21:14,033 --> 00:21:17,233 We professional racers do not need such tricks. 327 00:21:17,233 --> 00:21:18,867 We are either fast or slow. 328 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,900 That's all. 329 00:21:22,133 --> 00:21:24,567 My brother named it the "Fujiwara Zone". 330 00:21:25,267 --> 00:21:28,833 It's somewhat different from the "zone" spoken by those top athletes. 331 00:21:29,467 --> 00:21:32,867 This is a unique phenomenon that appears when Fujiwara and the 86 are combined. 332 00:21:33,433 --> 00:21:35,233 What kind of phenomenon is that? 333 00:21:35,233 --> 00:21:39,000 Only my brother could explain its principle clearly. 334 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,033 I don't quite understand it myself. 335 00:21:42,267 --> 00:21:46,267 When I practice, I occasionally follow behind Fujiwara. 336 00:21:46,633 --> 00:21:50,933 Sometimes, I suddenly find myself being left behind by him somehow. 337 00:21:52,133 --> 00:21:57,433 That's a kind of illusion-like phenomenon. No one knows if it has occurred or not. 338 00:21:58,033 --> 00:21:59,533 But the "Fujiwara Zone", 339 00:21:59,533 --> 00:22:00,933 it does exist. 340 00:22:02,133 --> 00:22:05,067 When specific conditions are met, it will appear. 341 00:22:05,067 --> 00:22:08,967 The most important thing is the unique rhythm on the mountain road. 342 00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:13,233 What was that just now? 343 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,167 Did I make a mistake? 344 00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:17,400 I can't be negligent. 345 00:22:19,433 --> 00:22:23,767 I must not forget that I lost to him once. 346 00:22:28,633 --> 00:22:31,967 Again, he pulled away from me at the moment of coming out of the turn. 347 00:22:31,967 --> 00:22:35,333 Was it my mistake? My tactics couldn't be wrong. 348 00:22:35,333 --> 00:22:36,967 What I can't stand the most is... 349 00:22:36,967 --> 00:22:38,633 I'm panicking because of it. 350 00:22:39,133 --> 00:22:41,767 Am I being led by the nose by the opponent? 351 00:22:46,233 --> 00:22:48,500 "The point of switching the rhythm". 352 00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:49,700 Yes. 353 00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:52,533 Step on the accelerator and immediately let go, repeat this move at this rhythm. 354 00:22:52,533 --> 00:22:56,333 Then slightly slow down and change the rhythm. 355 00:22:56,833 --> 00:22:59,800 Right now, these two cars are exactly at that point. 356 00:23:00,333 --> 00:23:02,967 If something is to happen, it would be there. 357 00:23:02,967 --> 00:23:05,267 What would happen at that time? 358 00:23:05,267 --> 00:23:07,667 The "Fujiwara Zone", I think. 359 00:23:08,533 --> 00:23:10,933 I've been wanting to ask you this. 360 00:23:10,933 --> 00:23:13,133 What kind of phenomenon is it? 361 00:23:13,633 --> 00:23:15,933 It didn't just suddenly occur. 362 00:23:15,933 --> 00:23:18,233 It is a phenomenon that has existed since before, 363 00:23:18,767 --> 00:23:23,700 I saw it when I was racing against him in Akina. 364 00:23:24,633 --> 00:23:27,333 After the battle with the "Purple Shadow", 365 00:23:27,333 --> 00:23:29,533 this ability has become even more mature. 366 00:23:31,033 --> 00:23:32,100 Simply put, 367 00:23:32,633 --> 00:23:37,033 it is actually his proficiency in controlling the 86. 368 00:23:38,267 --> 00:23:42,867 Fujiwara has entered a realm that we can hardly imagine. 369 00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:46,233 This is probably a product of a special training environment. 370 00:23:46,233 --> 00:23:48,400 I think you mentioned something in the last race, 371 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,667 like "listening to the voice of the 86". 372 00:23:51,267 --> 00:23:55,433 The industry often uses the term "unity of driver and car", 373 00:23:55,433 --> 00:24:01,633 but it's impossible for anyone to control a ton of metal as freely as their own body. 374 00:24:02,733 --> 00:24:06,133 However, the combination of Fujiwara and the 86 375 00:24:06,133 --> 00:24:08,133 has produced a phenomenon that is extremely close to this term. 376 00:24:08,733 --> 00:24:14,100 He can control its state freely at the moment when the tire starts to slide, 377 00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:18,500 and can control the timing of sliding to change the direction or sprinting forward as will. 378 00:24:19,267 --> 00:24:22,467 As for what this results in... 379 00:24:22,467 --> 00:24:25,833 It gives the 86 an acceleration ability comparable to a 4WD vehicle. 380 00:24:25,833 --> 00:24:28,767 How can this be? That's unthinkable. 381 00:24:28,767 --> 00:24:30,867 Of course, this is impossible. 382 00:24:30,867 --> 00:24:34,067 After all, no matter how hard the 86 tries, it is still a RWD vehicle, 383 00:24:34,067 --> 00:24:38,267 what I mean is that it can give the car following behind such an illusion. 384 00:24:39,267 --> 00:24:42,233 It can be quite a shock to see this from behind. 385 00:24:42,233 --> 00:24:43,800 If the opponent is discerning, 386 00:24:44,700 --> 00:24:47,600 even if they enter the corner under the same conditions, 387 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,867 he can quickly steer the car to the exit, perform a "0 Counter", and then step on the gas, 388 00:24:51,867 --> 00:24:53,833 then he can accelerate faster than his opponent. 389 00:24:54,967 --> 00:24:57,367 And this driving style 390 00:24:57,367 --> 00:25:01,233 just so happens to be very suitable for that 86. 391 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,967 Even I actually can't explain this principle clearly. 392 00:25:05,967 --> 00:25:08,767 There is a phenomenon that even you can't explain? 393 00:25:08,767 --> 00:25:10,067 Of course there is. 394 00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:13,333 Especially the potential of Fujiwara and the 86. 395 00:25:14,733 --> 00:25:17,233 It's something that can't be explained with theory alone.
