I thought this was faze rug at first glance..

Cool video, the e36 chassis is one of my favorites. Some things I learned over the years that you already know but for the beginners watching.. - If you know the road and are good at driving, a bone stock fiesta can be competitive. Spend money on seat time pushing yourself at HPDE track days over that super sweet carbon hood yo. - When you start modding your car, be aware that canyons usually aren't as smooth as a racetrack. Though your car may look cool with it slammed on some hella flush fitted wheels, most likely it will handle like dog shit. Besides your car bottoming out, your suspension geometry will be thrown out of whack. So don't go too low and get some modified knuckles that lower the ball joint position. Then you won't be fighting your steering wheel like it owes you money when you drive over bumps at maximum attack. - If someone faster comes up behind you, let them by instead of getting salty because you're slow. We were all slow at one point. No shame in letting a faster driver by. - On a lot of the roads, people live there. There are kids playing close by. Don't go driving like you're Sabastien Loeb when it's 6'oclock in the afternoon. You're going to get someone killed. Save driving hard in the canyons for midnight to 5 am. Then WHEN you crash, you only kill/hurt yourself, and not some innocent person that could be someone's mother or daughter. -If you want to be fast, just know that it takes hundreds of hours of seat time and most likely, lots of crashes and cars. Don't be in a hurry. Relax and work on being smooth. Learn how to hold your momentum in a slow car. Then when you finally can afford a fast car, you will actually be able to drive it. Most of the time up there, it's middle-class locals in stock to mildly tuned miatas, integras, 350zs and VWs absolutely smoking high dollar, high horsepower, rich kids. So next time you and your friends make fun of the guy at the meet because his car has 135 whp, mismatched paint and his bumper is dented in, keep in mind that he may very well be able to embarrass you in your Supra.

Great tips, I would like to add to ride with someone who’s already fast. That removes some of the fear of going faster and let’s you know where the limit is on some corners

Having not attended actual driving classes and figured out driving from my own experience (plus prior basic knowledge from sim games), I learned a lot of these things in this video myself- I sort of use the leaning sensations as a gauge of lateral forces, and I use the steering, brakes, and throttle to balance the car and keep everything smooth and have learned to pick up tire activity through all of my senses, whether it be the sound of the tires, a visual difference between the car’s angle and the steering wheel, or the vibrations through the floor/pulls on the steering wheel

As a person who just got a standard after not driving one for 7+ years, this helped a lot. Thanks. Sweet videos btw.

this video was such a breath of fresh air. thank you for setting a proper example for the new people to the scene, I hope a lot of these newbies come across this video.

Before you go hard on any mountain road, one should at least do a two-pass recce to get familiar with the course. In my opinion, crashes happen when people go hard without any prior recce whatsoever, and that is a recipe for disaster.

Great video! I have a 2020 AMG GTR and where I live folks come up here in the mtns in California to play- Dude always fly up wanting to play but I never oblige too many novices up here people crossing yellow line (as you discussed) Thank you for being common sense and smart about this I have seen way too many fine but not bright people ruin their lives here up here. The biggest issue we see is with the redwoods and stuff my neighbors coming out of driveways on back side of a turn more than a few REALLY bad accidents when someone is way to fast around a turn and they run in to someone. A guy on a Ducati hit my wife in the rear once. flying around a turn and she was getting up to speed. He didn't know how to manage his bike and couldn't slow down.

Good tips 👌🏽

I came here to crap on your video. That said, solid advice, a mini-racing school. Well done. This is from a now 78 year old former Angeles Crest canyon racer on both bikes and cars and a Bondurant School attendee who still drives a 440 RWHP '68 Camaro 6 speed..

This guys a safe driver

Don't drive on the limit on public roads this is what tracks are for, you can drive sporty but don't drive on the limit One more tip, you can use Google maps to roughly judge what kind of corners are coming up, like a mini map in games

Tire Pressure (coldest environment possible) Engine Oil Levels Coolant Levels Power Steering Fluids Tire Health/Alignment Window Clarity and Fog Resistance Wiper Blade Quality Driving Position Car Repair Tools First Aid Kit Community Notice Boards Red Light/Speed Camera Locations Sleep Quality Head Space and Mental Course Familiarity 2am-4am Saturday/Sunday (with high beams) Weather Reports Current license details such as home address. No/Low Chill Music. Windows Down Enough to Hear Your Engine and Tires. *I use My Maps by Google to plot familiar race routes and speed camera locations and have it on my dash.

You may be a policeman about things, but that’s the type of person you need in the group.

Imagine driving by this guy and seeing him taking to himself with no hands on the wheel lmao (great video tho)

Bro do you feel like you e36 is still competitive against more modern cars like a wrx or an 86? Not bashing just asking . I love the older beemers and thinking about getting an e36.

Nice in the e36 ! I drive my e46 in the canyons shit is responsive asf

I was promised to become a touge master after watching this video. I want my money back 😅

Scope out the area see how the roads are make sure your cars good too 🤙🏽

REAL SHIT

What road is this And do you have any meets going on the second week of October I'll be in phoenix

do you have tips for seating position?

is this az group still a thing? trying to learn and dont know any good canyons besides tortilla flats and also want to join a touge group to increase my experience! all these tips are new stuff thatll def help me out

Pro tip if you are unsure about the coming corners direction look at the trees behind the corner☺️

if you watch real touge driving they do things pretty snappy sometimes and almost look like they're battling to keep it controlled the whole time yanking the steering around but you definitely shouldn't be doing that on a public road

Touge group...arizona...how many s chassis?

faze rug?

pretty sure i know you nice vid

Anyone else see FAZE RUG? 👀 🤔 🤣

Hey, hows about you dont tell me how to drive. If i wanna drive on flat tires with bad oil that's my prerogative lol

Step one, buy an Evo! Lol

Is this faze rug ?
