Akagi - 3rd Stage.
Akagi Uphill Strategy. Left to Right
The homeground of RedSun in the Anime. This is
the best course for the Mazda FD/FC. If you are going uphill and
against Takahashi Keisuke, you should be using 4th gear most of the
time until your speed reaches 145km/h, then you will change it to
5th gear. For the first few hairpins, you will be using 4th gear to
turn. Releasing the accelerator will give you more grip while
drifting. The rest will be up to you, for a few sharper hairpins,
try to decrease your speed by down shifting or braking. For most of
the turns, i release my accelerator pedal.
Tips: Remember to do the out-in-out rule for the turns.. so that
you can turn at a higher speed and save you a few milli
seconds.
