The driver obviously has talent......but look at the axle on his car though, it is much wider in the rear and uses wheels that are offset much less than usual 12th scale wheels which to me would seem to put the weight of the car in the center of the tire rather than primarily on the inside.

I wonder how much he have improved driving the TC car. he is fast, but seems i dont really manage to get to the top spot at international races. Maybe he is crazy fast in TC too. then we got a new masami right there. Goodluck in TC!!

Ehh risky...maybe but I'm inclined to think not. Yatabe arena has been covered in carpet to prepare for this race. Not to mention, Masami is his mentor. So who do you think Naoto practiced against all this time? The MASTER himself; so running a tight line like he was doing...I'm sure he was plenty used to it
Bring you A main games this sat..........what ya think about the ???????

I have no doubt that the Yok wheel design is different, so were the Corally wheels back in the day.
What I meant by the driver being the difference, is that it is clear from watching the race, that Naoto can run a loose car, and hang onto it, while turning ridiculously fast laps.
That is the sign of a great driver, imho

He did make a bunch of sick passes with the rear end swinging around, though his car still looked more hooked up than the guys at the back. If you watch, he almost got passed back by Reinhard when he first got by, but then it seemed like the car came back in for him and he pulled away. He's obviously a great driver, but his car was very good as well.
