We have seen the pictures and we have seen the promotional videos. Now we can see some real action footage of the Scion FR-S (different name, same product as the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT 86).
Behind the wheel is Formula Drift racer Ken Gushi and the track in question is the Sodegaura Forest Raceway, situated about 70 km southeast of Tokyo.
As can be seen in the video, it is wet, which will make drifting easier, but still, it is good to see that Toyota and Subaru might be onto something. It seems the gear changes are quick and direct, while the steering ratio is perfectly suited to the car and the chassis is well set up. Lets hope this will be a true driver’s car.
