Tsunoda’s Adrenaline Rush: From F1 Car to American Muscle
Yuki Tsunoda,the Formula 1 driver,recently traded the high-tech precision of his racing machine for the raw power of American muscle cars. He experienced an exhilarating day with drifting expert, ben Deane, and the results were nothing short of breathtaking.
deane put Tsunoda through his paces in a Ford Mustang Dark Horse, offering a taste of performance. Following that, the Japanese driver got a truly unforgettable ride in deane’s monstrous 1100+ bhp Ford Mustang RTR.
“The adrenaline is like… Wow!” Tsunoda exclaimed after tackling a challenging figure-of-eight course.”I need to calm down a little bit.I forgot to breathe, actually. I’m actually holding my breath all the time.”
The experience clearly left a lasting impression. After switching to the passenger seat for a demonstration by Deane, Tsunoda was even more stunned.
“I didn’t know what was going on,” he admitted. “I just lose the direction which I’m facing at. Like, am I facing to the wall now or… Holy s. I sweat more than yesterday’s race.”
Here’s a breakdown of what made this experience so impactful:
* Raw Power: The sheer horsepower of Deane’s Mustang RTR is on another level compared to a Formula 1 car, offering a different kind of thrill.
* Loss of Orientation: Drifting is disorienting, even for a professional driver accustomed to high speeds and G-forces.
* Physical Reaction:** tsunoda’s physical response – holding his breath and excessive sweating - highlights the intensity of the experience.
I’ve found that experiencing different forms of motorsport can truly broaden a driver’s skillset and gratitude for the art of vehicle control. This experience for Tsunoda wasn’t just about speed; it was about feeling the limits of grip and mastering a wholly different driving technique.
It’s clear that the world of drifting has captured Tsunoda’s attention. Here’s what works best when introducing a driver to this discipline: start with a manageable car, build confidence, and than gradually increase the intensity.
What do *you think Tsunoda would enjoy exploring next in the world of motorsports?
