[VIDEO] Ultimate Touge Battle! Mind vs Koolaid

Enjoy ;]

Another amazing video! Great work. Loving the Initial D OST at the end too.

Aww it's all scripted, still looks cool though.

It may seem that way but its just the opposite.
We went for several runs and took whatever openings and thats what 95% of the footage was.
The main goal was to get the intensity of an actual battle.

That first shot of my car drifting was actually just a test filler when i wanted to work on the intro but it looked good so it stayed lol.

You guys passed each other 4 times and went side by side into 3 corners?

From the trailer it just looks kinda wrong, drifting aside you guys are side by side and passing each other constantly. Some of the passes like at 0:32 look like rookie mistakes. It's not something you are mind would do in a heated race. So from that it just kinda looks like a scripted race. It looks great though.

Tough crowd...

@00.32 Does this really need an explanation?
Mind was pretty close to me in the previous corner and i couldn't take my normal line and i made a mistake, entered too fast on the inside and understeered out.
Most of these clips are less than 3 seconds, you can't really make a fair judgement of what happened prior.

Like I said, it was from multiple runs not just one and I compiled all the good looking shots together while being sequential thru out the NDH.
I only had a 15 second window to use racing footage after the intro with what i had with the chopped up music and id rather fill it with the more interesting shots.

They only thing that was technically "scripted" was the the last clip on the bridge, it was a proper way to end the video.

You're making it seem like we're out to fool the world lol

This is only a teaser ...., in official battles rarely there's an overtake so got to hype up what we can.

Also with scripted, I tend to stay away from that, my saying is always if ya have a chance go for it but try to avoid any collision. That's how we do all the Touge Showdowns, heck the one where we ended 3 wide photo finish was just a 2nd run since we crashed the first.

Oh that makes sense then. Must have been some crazy runs.

Maybe when we see the full battle it will all make sense then. Why didn't you guys tell anyone about this race though? I definitely would have wanted to see this.

Seems cool

We didn't battle yet....

It is a teaser. and for the teaser, we just basically battled but without the officialness of it and did a few runs to put together a teaser.

I'm digging the outro. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations on getting your video featured on GTchannel Koolaid!
