But the question is, who do u think is more knowledgebale about racing techniques! It seems to me that Bunta just learned how to be a good driver by instince and is always like "dont u get it" and doesnt question y things work, but ryousuke on the other hand is like, hmm that works now im gonna spend the next month figuiring out y. So who do u think is smarter? |

Bunta. It's his experience and his born instinct. After all, his training methods are betta too... cuz he gave the space for takumi to explore. | ||

oh dude, ur missing much more ... of course the paper cup's main objective it to monitor its motion to prevent the tofu from breaking but in doing that it would teach Takumi so many more driving aspects - keeping the car in ideal balance, smooth handling, precise shifting it's like Takumi says in first stage "braking, gear shift, steering .. if any is rough the water will spill" .. therefore, he had to learn how to perfect each driving aspect to be able to accomplish the water in the paper cup thing (*agreed with spinnee *) This post has been edited by Smiley_DC2 on Sep 15 2004, 05:52 PM | ||

remember he had to go to school the next day so if he went slow he wouldn't get any sleep so he was forced to go faster in order to sleep and therefore in order for him to go faster he had to shift the weights properly so the tofu wouldn't mess up. thewird This post has been edited by thewird on Sep 15 2004, 05:53 PM | ||

Takumi's godlike driving skills is a sideaffect from that repeditive conditioning. Takumi learned how to attain perfect balance and from there he was trying things out to get home faster from work and to keep from getting bored. |

ermmm... that's to takumi. but we all can see that there's things to learn behind that cup. like smiley_Dc2 mentioned & sidewatsgts, bunta is just trying to create a situation for takumi to realise his potential. i dare to say without bunta asking takumi to drive at wee hours and the cup, he will never be what he is today. the initial start is very important. it's like : i'm showing you the ropes, the rest is up to you. after all, that's what initial d is all about... it's all on "the moral of the story is...." or "at the end of the day, u may accomplish this through your own thinking" and i find this method is good! that's why many academic places are now going for problem-based learning!

Ryousuke could not even beat Takumi...let alone Bunta and the same goes for their knowledge...Bunta knows all there is to know, he does not have a theory for the fastest driving...he is the fastest. Ryousuke is still learning. |

Team YG Revilution Group: Advanced Members Posts: 930 Member No.: 1,540 Joined: Mar 29th 2004 Location: Auckland, New Zealand | i have a question about Bunta, you know how in Episode 05 he told Masashi that he didn't want a car with a wing cause it's distracting, then why did he get the GC8V (Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type R version 5). That car has a massive wing. |

good question maybe Masashi couldnt find other 4WD or AWD cars without a wing but can you imagine a Impreza without a wing ... it will look horrible | ||

Horrible indeed. Still i didnt see Bunta complain much because the car had a wing especially since he smirked when he pwoned takumi on the downhill and drove off as if takumi was standing still and takumi was like "holy sh*t WTF!?" LOL! Priceless! | ||

Ryosuke only got beat because they were on Akina and Takumi knows all there pretty much is on Akina think if they raced on Akagi | ||
