Fujiwara Zone



Fujiwara Zone is Takumi Fujiwara's techniques.

In my experience, in high-performance driving, you tend to enter a "zone" once you string together a couple of corners at or near the limits of what is possible in your car (I have no street motorcycling experience and am no expert on a dirt bike, but I assume it's the same experience.). The sensation is difficult to describe, but I would say it involves you no longer having to focus on operating the car (working the pedals, shifter, and wheel, and watching gauges), and simply being "one with the car", if you will, operating it as if it were your own body- obviously this requires a great deal of familiarity with the vehicle. It allows you to become faster and faster, since you make fewer of the mistakes associated with timing control inputs and what-not. The sensation ends when you either make a serious mistake or stop, or the car wears out or breaks. In my old '95 Probe GT (bone stock), the limiting factor was that the front brakes would overheat, breaking concentration as you had to focus on this problem. In my '94 Miata (stripped out, turbocharged to 220hp, and lowered), the problem is that I simply lack the skill right now to push it that hard.

In the context of Initial D, one of Takumi's oft-stated strengths is his incredible bond with the AE86, and how he drives it as though it were an extension of his body. It is also likely that Takumi has the mental control it takes to enter this "zone" almost as soon as he hits the throttle, and that his skill and equipment are both at a level where this state can be maintained indefinitely. Fujiwara zone is teqniue of takumi not just driving so fast in corners.fujiwara zone is changing rhythm on road which mean changing line.fujiwara zone is also an car copying characteristic teqniue to make it so fast thats why it be accelarated like 4WD......
