G1GP 2010 Rd3. Results & Series Wrap Up

The gaijin drift 2010 G1GP season ended last friday November 12th with 3 round on Ebisu’s nishi short drift course.

By far this last event was the biggest and best display of cars and drivers since G1 started exactly this time last year on the very same course.

Roughly 45 drivers in total entered to compete in this final round – quite less than the anticipated 72 which the event organizers Team Orange weren’t not too pleased about.

Still, 45 world class drivers came out to have fun and battle for the 1st place trophy in the best place on earth!

Who’s this? None other than yours truly! Disco Stu. Dino always seems to catch me putting on stickers. I came in 13th place overall. You can watch some onboard footage of me from the day here.

 

 

 

 

 

Daigo Saito showed up carrying this V8 powered 240SX that he purchased from the United States. Love the growl of the V8 sound. He did a few practice laps with one group of gaijins.

Because of the large number of drivers, they split up the competition into PRO and NOVICE class. These are the top 6 from the novice class. My mate Dave Lawrie from JPP on the gold coast just scraped in in 6th place (far left).

 

The final results from the PRO class. Good to see a mix from more countries than just AUS!

A big thanks to Team Orange, Powervehicles, Speedhunters, Zenky Racing, all the drivers and other participants for making this the best round of G1 yet!

Looking forward to what 2011 will bring! Hopefully will see you there too!
