Whats tounge racing?

[obsessive rules]

Just want to know seen as various tuners go on about it.

It's actually spelled "Touge", and pronouned "Tow-geh". It's the japanese art of mountain group drifting... Think hillclimb, only cars are a few inches bumper-to-bumper, in tortuous, narrow mountain roads

A misconception.

The term Touge literally means "pass". Instead of drifting around corners, grip driving is the norm here. The drivers aim to complete the course in the quickest time or race against other people.

Watch "Initial D" you'll learn a lot of the terms from Japanese street racing. If you have netflix you can watch the show on there.👍👍

Funimation also was able to show the first few Stages through Youtube for free, in excellent formats 👍

And in Initial D, you will see some drivers drift, but they even admit, drifting is good for show, but it isn't faster.

There are touge groups here, and they do something called "cat and mouse". The idea is the two drivers take turns chasing each other. If the chaser passes, race is over and he wins. If the chasee pulls far enough ahead (3 to 5 seconds) then he gets away and wins. If there isn't a winner, they swap roles and run again.

It is on a touge, a pass, and not a circuit. So there aren't laps.

Like wrc. Stages not laps?

Sorta. Unlike WRC, they just repeat the same stage over and over until there is a winner and they are running two at a time. In WRC, it is more like a time trial.

Yea I was just on about the stages

There is no official competition also, Touge is illegal racing on mountain pass by groups of people. Lots of japanese drivers were or are still driving in Touge, like Orido, Taniguchi or Tsuchiya. If you already saw video of Hot Version you probably saw touge racing (even if for the TV show they doing it on a closed track that looks like a road).

Hot Version Touge youtube

Usually tho it's in the night (less cops).

Watch Initial D.

 

[ROYALEFATALE]

Touge is GT5 tends to lean towards drift, like someone else said real Touge is more about grip and trying to maintain the distance between cars

 

[McClarenDesign]

Mt. Fusterkluc- THE ultimate touge!

 

[KookiBirb]

Not just Initial D, but also watch the Best Motoring series. They have some volumes where they're in the passes and have cat and mouse races.

Yeah, it's actually spelled in alphabetical letters "tou-ge" and described "峠" in Japanese(Chinese) kanjis. The meaning of the word could refer to narrow, perilous roads in the (range of) mountains themselves and updowns of movement of cars on the alleys... incentive to go through sections with the corner of the body almost grazing to the wall, guardrail or the rocky stretch, with a lot of danger of downfall veering off from the course.

 

[Hei]

GT5 touge, at least the one I participate in isn't mostly drifting. It's all about grip. You should really check out the LotS (Legend of the Streets) page.
