I think he also drives so gingerly cause he has more HP then he needs for the track, so he doesnt have to kick its ass.
not just Diago either.
Watching most of the drivers on Irwindale, you see that our oval courses here in America just seem to small for the HP that the cars are pushing.

Remember when you were supposed to stay full throttle in FD or get a deduction? Now everyone has so much HP they have to blip the gas through the course.

whats up with the twitchyness on the bank?
Is it one of those chassis that want to be shallow or deep angle, but really hard to hold in that inbetween zone?

I hope he doesnt bring the Chaser. As much as i love those cars, i know Charlie(JD/ASB) has a hard time holding consistent angle on it.
And I just think it might be to much car for our courses. Then again we got cameros and mustangs out there.

I cant wait to see Matt Field and Tuereks next season.

Im curious to see what will come of the denofa/bergenholtz team... He hasnt made it through a round yet without crashing that car.. I know it takes a little seat time to get everything dialed in... But that Vegas crash was just unnessecary. If I was Bergenholtz id be tired of fixing the car after every round lol. Honestly id like to see him back in the BMW, he really killed it in the BMW.

Nice work from daigo on the weekend

vvtisupra · 10-19-2012, 12:21 PM

For the chaser i would imagine it being an easier car to hold angle, but the long wheel base and heavier chassis would be hard to make it competitive with cars that are so fast

Correct me if I'm wrong but did he just win round 7 and take first in series points after missing 3 D1 rounds?

Never mind. Looks like he won the exhibition but lost the points round.

Looks like Daigo Saito is going to run away with another FD Championship.

The stream sounded like everyone was screaming OMT. Tell me why you thought that? It looked like Daigo had a great chase first half then fell back a bit while Aasbo had an OK chase throughout so that earned them an OMT. I aint mad at that.

TheRealSy90 · 06-23-2013, 09:03 PM

Daigo wins everything. I hope he wins the title again this year.

How so? Were you or anyone else for that matter under the illusion that Formula D drivers could tandem as good as the Japanese? Better hope Tanner Foust comes back.

I predict he will finish with 6 podiums and 4 victories. This would have been his 3 rd victory had JR not crashed him out last round.
