The most exclusive car ever made in Japan was the Toyota 2000GT, launched in mid- 60's of the last century. It was done in cooperation with Yamaha, which was tasked with tuning of a Toyota engine taken from one of the luxury cars. The result was a 2.0 liter, six cylinder in-line engine, located in front, at 150 hp power. Rear wheel drive, 5-speed gearbox, weight 1,120 kg, maximum speed 217 km / hour. Production run of 351 cars. Japan's first "supercar". The Toyota 2000GT appeared in a film with James Bond.

Toyota GT86 i Milovan Mikica Vesnić

Najekskluzivniji automobil koji je ikada napravljen u Japanu bila je Toyota 2000GT, lansirana sredinom 60' godina pro'šlog veka. Urađena je u saradnji sa firmom Yamaha, koja je bila zadužena sa doterivanje Toyotinog motora preuzetog od luksuznog automobila. Rezultat je bio motor sa 6 cilindara u redu, sme'šten napred, zapremine 2.0 l, snage 150 ks. Pogon na zadnjim točkovima, menjač sa 5 brzina, težina 1.120 kg, maksimalna brzina 217 km/čas. Proizvedena je u 351 primeraka. Prvi japanski "Superautomobil". Pojavila se i u filmu sa Džejms Bondom.

Koristeći nasleđe ovog automobila Toyota je 2012. lansitalar automobil Toyota GT86. Ovoga puta u saradnji sa firmom Subaru. Automobil je urađen oko Subaruovog bokser motora sa 4 cilindra, zapremine 2,0 l, snage respektabilnih 203 ks. Pogonom na zadnjim točkovima, menjač sa 6 brzina, težina od oko 1.200 kg, maksimalna brzina 233 km/čas. Nisko sme'šteni motor, povučen pozadi, omogućava skoro idealnan raspored opterećenja osovina i odlično ležanje na putu. Ovaj prelepi automobil svojim izgledom potseća na svog slavnog predhodnika, spolja i iznutra, namerno. Jedan takav automobil, crveni, Toyota 86GT, stajao je na parkingu centra NAVAK.

Using this legacy, Toyota in 2012 created the Toyota GT86. This time, in cooperation with Subaru. The Toyota GT86 has 2.0L, four -cylinder, Subaru at 203 hp. Rear wheel drive, 6-speed transmission, weight of about 1,200 kg, maximum speed 233 km / hour. The low placed engine, is placed far back to achieve the almost to ideal axle load distribution and superb handling on the road. This gorgeous, your car intentionally looks reminiscent of its famous predecessor, outside and inside.

One such car, a red Toyota 86GT, was standing in the parking lot of the Serbian National Drivers Academy, NAVAK. The occasion was the signing of a partnership between Goodyear Dunlop Sava Tires and the NAVAK Academy.

Mikica se sme'šta na sedi'šte, pode'šava udaljenost, vezuje pojas. Sedam pored njega. Vezujem se. U rukama mi je foto-aparat. Startuje motor. Početak demonstracije. Da se prvo upoznam sa kolima - kaže. Prvi put je za upravljačem ovog automobila.

Mikica slides into the seat, adjusts the distance, latches his belt. I slide in beside him with my camera and hook-up my belt. Starting the engine Mikica, starts the demonstration. As this is the first time was at the wheel of the car he says first get familiar with this car.

Izlazak na stazu, blaga leva, blaga desna, naglo ubrzava, promena brzina putem poluga uz upravljač, brza i lagana promena brzina, dug pravac, o'štro kočenje, o'štra leva, imam utisak da će mo izleteti sa staze. Kratak pravac, naglo kočenje, o'štra desna, prolazimo je velikom brzinom sa velikim G silama. Pravac, ubrzanje, blaga leva, mali pravac, o'štro kočenje, o'štra desna, velike sile pri kočenju i vožnji po krivinama. Pravac, blaga desna, o'štra desna, na granici izletanja, mali pravac, desna, kratak pravac, blaga leva, prolazimo je velikom brzinom, skoro bez kočenja, mali pravac, leva, pravac, o'štra leva, pravac, duga, duga desna 180 stepeni. čini mi se da se automobil jedva drži na stazi. Sedi'šta odlično drže. Sa mukom fotografi'šem.

Entering the track, a gentle left, slight right, accelerate rapidly, changes gears via levers at the steering wheel gives quick and easy gear changes, then a long straight, harsh braking, sharp left. I have a feeling that we will bounce off the track. Short straight, hard braking, sharp right, passing at high speed with high G forces. Direction, acceleration, slight left, run straight, heavy braking, hard right, a great power when braking and in the curves. Direction, slightly to the right, hard right on the border flying out, run straight, right, short straight, slight left, going at high speed, almost no braking, run straight, left, straight, sharp left, straight, long, long right 180 degrees. It seems to me that the car is barely griping the track. Seats performed well, holding me as I eagerly took photographs.

Napred, levo, desno, nazad. Dugačak pravac, najduži na stazi, prepreka od čunjeva radi usporenja vodi ka 'šikani, naglo, brutalno kočenje, spale su mu naočare sa glave. 'šikana, leva pa desna, ponovni izlazak na isti dugi pravac, dugačka desna 180 stepeni, presecanje izlaska na stazu, pa ponovo. Jo'š brže, jo'š brutalnije kočenje, brže kroz krivine.

Forward, left, right, back. Long straight, the longest on the course, obstacle cones slowdown the lead-in to the chicane, suddenly, hard braking, knocks his glasses off his head. Chicane, left and right, now re- taking the same route long, long right 180 degrees, leaving that section of the track even faster, more brutal braking, quicker through the bends.

Mikica Vesnić je zadovoljan kočnicama, menjačem i promenom brzina i ležnjem na stazi, motor bi mogao da bude snažniji.

***

Mikica Vesnić is satisfied with brakes, transmission, gear changing and performance on the track, the engine however could be stronger.

U sezoni 2014. voziće Evropski Kup za Turističke automobile (FIA ETCC), BMW 320si, klasa S2000, 5 duplih trka, među njima čeveni belgijski Spa i francuski Paul Ricard, staze formule 1. Na drugoj nikada nije vozio. Ipak, za turističke automobile mu se čini da je Slovakia ring najpogodnija. Cilj mu je da zavr'ši sve trke.

Mikica Vesnić is preparing for the 2014 season of the European Cup( FIA ETCC ), for tourist cars covering BMW 320si, S2000 class, in 5 double races including Belgium's Spa and the French Paul Ricard Formula 1 track. However, the most appropriate venue for tourist cars would be the Slovakia Ring. His goal is first to finish all races, for placement he will see.

Za plasman videće. Smeta mu često menjanje propisa za klase turističkih automobila od strane FIA. S2000, 1.6 turbo, TC1, TC2. Sve skuplji, sve brže zastarevaju. Finansijski je to te'ško pratiti. Mali auto savezi, nažalost, na to ne mogu da utiču. U igri su veliki igrači. 'šamionat CEZ mu se po tom pitanju čini dobar, propisi omogućavaju ujednačenu konkurenciju. Austrijanci, kao organizatori ovog 'šampionata, su puno toga učinili.

Australijski V8 Supercars i američki NASCAR, relativno jeftini, sa dugo godina nepromenjenim pravilima, primeri na koje se treba ugledati.

***

One thing that bothers him is the frequently changing regulations by the FIA for the S2000, 1.6 turbo, TC1, TC2 tourist class cars making them more expensive, and quickly obsolete. Finance is hard to gain making small car alliances, unfortunately, difficult to compete with the big players. FIA Central European Zone Championship Rules provide uniform regulations on this issue and allows fair competition.

Mikica sees the organizers of the Australian V8 Supercars and American NASCAR running with long years of unchanged policies, examples of which can be emulated.

Redovno prati Formulu 1. Za njega je Fernando Alonso najbolji vozač danas. Michael Schumacher najbolji ikada. Kompletna ličnost, veliko poznavanje tehnike. Sebastian Vettel bi trebalo da poradi na koncentraciji. Ima malih problema kada je u gužvi. Misli da su razlike među vozačima u Formuli 1 veoma male. Kada bi svi imali iste uslove, iste formule, ekipe, razlike bi bile minimalne. Sebastien Loeb je najbolji reli vozač ikada, njegov imenjak Ogier bi jedini mogao da ga skine sa trona.

***

A Regularly viewer of formula 1 races, Mikica ranks Fernando Alonso the best driver today. Michael Schumacher the best ever. Complete personality, great knowledge of art. Sebastian Vettel should work on concentration. There's a little problem when in a crowd. He thinks that the differences among drivers in Formula 1 is very small. If everyone had the same conditions, the same formula, the teams, the difference would be minimal.

I pored ogromnog iskustva, ova godina za Loeba u WTCC-u će biti godina učenja. Njegov klubski kolega u Citroenu Yvan Muller je u prednosti, dugo godina je tu, puno je radio na razvoju novog automobila. Ali sledeća, 2015., bi trebalo da bude njegova.

***

In the Rally, Mikica feels, Sebastien Loeb is the best rally driver ever, his namesake Ogier would be the only one able to take him down from the throne. Despite the vast experience this year for Loeb in the WTCC it will be a year of learning. His team colleague at Citroen, Yvan Muller has an advantage with his many years there, and a lot of work on development of a new car. But next year, 2015 , it should be his.
