i didn't want to do yet another GoPro 9 in the tire episode but I received
so many requests to do this video over the last week i even put out a community
post asking people to vote on whether or not
they wanted me to do this video but i am going to put a twist on it i'm
not only going to put a gopro in the rear tire i'm also going to mount the
camera underneath the car so we can see what's
going on with the suspension as i go into the slide i'm not going to
waste any time i'm just going to jump right into this
and get straight to the point look at the size of that tire
looks like i'm all set i let the car down i got the gopro in the rear tire
i was really surprised that it fit because the tire is just so low
and uh yeah i'm ready to hit the road let's see what happens the only thing i
am really worried about is just what the centrifugal force is going to do
because that's the big difference between the first video i did
and this video here there's a lot of centrifugal force pulling
the camera outward i mean we all saw what happened in that
second video where i do a burnout to failure with the gopro and the tire it
just kind of ripped it apart only one way to tell for sure and that
is to get the car on the road and see what happens
all right well i'm driving around doing about 20 to 30 miles an hour
on the way to the location now the good news is
it still says connected so that means that our gopro is still intact
i just got to the location where i'm supposed to drift the supra
but unfortunately there's a couple cars in the lot that we're supposed to use
so i'm not going to drag this out any longer i'm going to have some of our
crew hold traffic on each side of the street
just for safety and i'm going to use these double corners here
just to do a slide left and a slide right
that's going to be enough to give us a really good idea for what's going on
inside of those back tires during a drift
making me nervous oh there we go let me roll it
there we go it's rolling let's do this
i'm gonna do it one more time
i don't want to do anything crazy to dislodge
this camera here we go i'm gonna do the best i can
that was terrible i had a drifting pretty good there but uh
i have to pull out of it because i'm about to hit that giant pothole right
there i'm going to try it one more time and uh see what happens
all right let's do it once more
that was a little bit tough it's a little bit too hard to drift here i
don't think i could do an actual drift the pavement is too
rough the tires are too soft i have too much traction and too much power
after that first turn once i hit this second turn i'm already doing like 50
miles an hour by the time i get right here then i have
to hit second gear somewhere there and then i got a giant pothole 20 feet
right after i hit second gear and a more enormous pothole
40 feet down from that
and i don't have drift tires either but it looks like the gopro stood connected
i got the footage it's definitely
possible to put a camera in the rear tire during a drift
yeah that was quite an accomplishment for me
and while this wasn't a legitimate drift
my car is not set up for drifting by any means
at all not even the slightest so that was the best i can do here
but i think that was enough to give everybody an idea of what was going on
with the tire inside i had a combination of lateral
forces and wheel spin which is exactly what
happens with the drift car that's exactly what those tires are
going through you see it is possible to get that camera in the rear tire
during a drift so i would totally be open if anybody
wants to see an actual real drift car on a drift track i would totally be open
to uh collaborating with one of those formula
drift teams or anybody else to uh do this again in one of their cars
just an idea that's all i got for you i'm gonna end
this here thanks for watching hopefully you enjoyed it tell me what
you think in the comments below and again
the only reason i did this video is because everybody asked for it
see you soon adios
anybody know what that noise is tell me in the comments below
i'll give you a hint it's the same reason that this is one of the strongest
rims you can buy
so
you
