Recent testing of the Evasive Pikes Peak FR-S resulted in the fastest FR-S / BRZ time at Buttonwillow CW13. The car’s HKS Supercharger was de-tuned to 360whp for the run.   The driver was Robert Walker.

This video is about the visionary Kazunori Yamauchi (Kaz) who, through creating Gran Turismo, caused a ripple in mainstream culture. Kaz sees a link between our enjoyment for cars and our evolution as humans. “The pleasure of hunting is… connected to driving, connected to racing …it is related to the male hunting instinct.”

This video is loaded with philosophical insights from people of diverse backgrounds who speak on their personal experiences. It also demonstrates how “race ready” Gran Turismo video gamers with no real world racing experience really are.

Skip to the 55:45 mark for the short BRZ sequence but also awe at the substance that the rest of this video has to offer.
