Style over Substance
In association with TOSS: Touge One-Stop Shop

I can go on for hours explaining the awesomeness that is Touge, but i wont. For that you can visit the TOSS and find all the info you could possible need along with events and competitions!!

Touge is a driver vs driver battle where the best tuner and wheel-man come out on top!!!


*Now you may be asking yourself how this differs from the drifting picture thread... simple. The cars, the courses, the style...

So get those shots and share!!

In Touge, all it takes is one mistake to dictate the winner and loser. and since there can only be one... the Snake Evo wins!!

Pretty awesome.. ofcorse the EK stays close to you..
People underestimate alot the EK Honda . ;X
Nice Shots !

 

[Prolific352]

Whew, those cars look awesome together, and my civic looks amazing Solid, maybe you can show me how to take such great pics one day. 👍

 

[SPANK]

I believe the Civic would have won that one! You didnt gain space between you guys and he not only kept up with you but almost passed you. I believe EK has the win. Now switch and you go behind. Now it would be his turn to try and lose you.

It was a Grip Gambler. They start side by side and the first to complete a lap wins. The type you're talking about is the 3 lap Cat'n'Mouse.
Go check it out: Legends of the Streets ( LotS )

The way i am talking about it the way i have been doing touge for years IRL.

I know. No need to start a argument. But you should check the thread out. We have multiple race types ( actually, just 3 xD).
Just like in Initial D, we have a time attack type of race.

 

[SPANK]

o well wouldnt you just call that a race?

 

[HKS Rag3:16]

Yes. xD
Btw, those BMI/HV segments are really cool.

 

[SPANK]

I love them! 👍

 

[SolidSnake7735]

Pics from my latest battle will be up soon! be on the lookout
I encourage everyone else to post shots up as well

[Lazy Liquid]

Question:
How is the tire wear behaving in the races and how its administrated in the whole competition?

Definitely! Anytime bro, hella fun

Question:

Tire wear behaves just as you'd expect it. It's not a driftompetition, so it won't wear out so fast, unless u drive like a maniac. Then again, drift style driving won't keep up anyways...

Though on 3 lap events on long winding tracks such as the one these images are from does take its toll on your tires, but not enough to make you spin out effortlessly. Just enough to add tension and excitement to an already intense battle. Makes you focus, get in the zone, etc.
