A few weeks ago I posted some un-cut videos on here of me and Chris Dejager drifting in the wet on school course and drift land at Ebisu circuit. Well, here is the nicely edited version of that raw footage: Thanks to Chris from www.DriftWeapon.com for the awesome edit job and his girlfriend Chance for …
Drifting as we know it today started out a few decades ago on twisty mountain roads here in Japan known as “touge” (pronounced “toe-gay”)… funny I know but that’s how to say it! lol These days there are still many secluded touge roads in Japan that street drifters frequent mainly at night, besides the keisatsu …
Ok, it’s a little old news now – this thing appeared last year! But for us Japan based drifters, (or maybe just me) it’s the first decent one, and only one? on the scene. I caught a glimpse of Robbie Nishida’s Hankook sponsored R35 GTR while browsing some photos of a recent Formula D round. …
Last Sunday here at Ebisu, it was a poor missile drifters dream come true… RAIN ALL DAY! Some people hate it and some people love it, but drifting missiles in the wet, for guys like Chris Dejager and me is the perfect scenario. Tires last longer, its easier on the cars, its cooler on the …
Last weekend on a blazing hot Sunday September 5th, the 5th round of D1 Street Legal was held at Ebisu west (nishi) course. Emily from Powervehicles.com made it through qualifying for the ladies “Venus Challenge” in her bright pink S14 silvia on the Saturday and ran in the first battle of the day on Sunday. …
Here are a couple of short videos I shot at the last G1GP. I planned to do a lot more filming but I was too busy driving (in between changing tires and all the rest of the commotion) to get all the good stuff. I captured most of my practice runs and qualifying runs with …
The second round of G1GP for 2010 came and went on August 20 2010 (in typical stinkin’ hot Fukushima summer weather!) Around 30 cars and drivers showed up for the all-gaijin drift competition this time to take part in the Team Orange organized and judged comp on the Ebisu nish (west) short course. Here we …
It’s a little known feature of D1, but after the D1 drift competition, the battles continue with a high-speed food battle! The food battle competitors get into teams of 2 or 3 depicted by their sponsors i.e. “Yokohama team” which is the Team Orange guys, “Toyo team” which is Kawabata and Suenaga Masao etc. The …
After following the Japanese D1GP for the last 5 years, I have to say that the level right now, in the latter part of 2010 is the highest it’s ever been. Wild cars, insane drivers, crazy speeds. That pretty much sums up D1 in a nutshell. Every season the bar get raised that little extra …
I went and checked out the qualifying and practice day for D1 GP today for just a few hours. They have changed the entry line over the bump at the last corner of south course from the tight little “s” bend and made it more or less straight (the “matsuri missile death line” as us …
