The track was wet in some places, so it was a great record. Since it was the first NSX-R Type I, the tire size was 15 inches in the front and 16 inches in the rear. Era of maximum 280 horsepower regulation. 5 MT. His nickname is Gansan.One of Japan's legendary drivers. Motoharu Kurosawa was a works driver for Nissan in early Japanese auto racing. He is the racing driver of the first generation Nissan Skyline GT-R. Before Nissan, he was a motorcycle racer for a Honda-affiliated team.Since he retired from racing, he has been a car and tire development driver and a car critic.

The GTR R33 is an awesome car no doubt but let's put some things in perspective. The NSX came out in 1990 and the R33 came out in 1995. The NA1 NSX-R came out in 1992. So the R33 did have the advantage of several years of development, and tire technology advancement. This NSX-R time was set in 1992 while the R33 time was set in 1996. So there is at least a 4 year difference. The R33 was officially the first production car to break the 8 min mark of Nürburgring but there is quite a bit of controversy around how stock that car actually was too. A quick google search will confirm that. So make of that what you will.

It is said that Gan-san was in the so-called "grip sect", he was all about clean, precise, almost no wastage of grip driving. Somewhat from elitist competition in the formula category. Almost made it to F1. He sometimes slides the car but only when he feels necessary. DK on the other hand, needs no explanation. The speed drifter. He once claimed that any sort of countersteering and correction was a part of drifting and refined that theory into art.
