MMMMMM Mighty good pork chops
First off, i don't mean to degrade you Tegus, but pray tell, how do you know what happens on the underground racing in Japan.

In Japan it's common to see good cars get beaten by underpowered ones on downhill races

A down hill race certainly does even up the hp differnece, but at a max of 50 hp not much more.
Next i'll correct you on this statement.

One must keep in mind that Takumi had been racing every day for the last five years.

The point where you mention racing, makes this statement a complete fraud. Takumi has experience drifting, but he has no experience what so ever with racing. Ask anyone here who Autocrosses. A time trial when your all alone, is completley different from a race with other people on the track. I mentioned this when i first opened the thread. He has no clue about racing.
Now Fliquer, you said a tough course is composed mainly of turns. Have you watched actaul racing clips of drifting? Or even Wanga? They are not, they are typicaly composed of three to six difficult turns that will require drifting, those turns make it a drifting course, the rest of turns are impractical to use drifting on. That is why most drifting in the world (including Japan) is kept off the mountains and on the tracks where it is possible to use drifting techniques more often.
Now it's not that I am refusing to believe that it's possible for an 86 to win, it most certainly is possible, just highly unlikely. You all treat it like it's the car of god's. Well it's not. Take the anime for example, you see how people ridicule a person for using an 86 to race. Well that would happen in real life. They are outdated, an FD or FC has superior . . . everything. the only thing that the 86 tops them on is it's weight, but nowadays that no longer matters, as with proper engine management components, this is very easy to even out.
Another thing i thought of (as people bring up matters of cornering), some might bring up the topic that an NA engine will corner better than an FI engine. First tell me why? The fact is when you stop accelerating, the turbo stops spooling, making for no or very little induction. Making it an NA engine for a very short time. Espically when talking about an FD or FC, a rotary engine. Then when it comes to the straights, the turbo will leave the NA behind, note the turbo will lose some times in the corners, though it will take the corner typicaly the same way.
I'll say it on more time
IT IS A CARTOON IT IS NOT REAL, IT IS ALL UP TO WRITERS AS TO WHAT HAPPENS! TAKUMI HAS NO SKILL!
If you have more thoughts post away, i'll be glad to here them i love crticsm as long as it's not constructive and doesn't put down anyone.
