Well it's been one week since I headed up to Ebisu for the final Drift Matsuri of the year and I can't believe we will have to wait until next spring for another of these legendary events. The rain and freezing wind didn't for one second spoil what was an action packed weekend with cars sliding around on every track within the Ebisu compound
I'm dedicating this second post on the Autumn Drift Matsuri to the first ever "G1-GP," an all-foreigner drift competition that was held at the Nishi (West) course on Sunday afternoon. With so many Aussies over for the event, Andy at Powervehicles.com came up with the idea of holding a little competition, especially seeing the high level
There is simply nothing like it, the Drift Matsuri is a truly unique event and this third and last one for 2009 has probably been my favorite. With the surrounding mountains around Ebisu Circuit exhibiting the most intense autumn colors drifters were as ever spoilt for choice with 8 tracks at their disposal for the whole weekend. I've selected my
When I was up in Ebisu for the D1 Street Legal the other week-end I heard the guys from Team Orange were going to organize a special car meet on Saturday night. With the promise of a night drifting exhibition there was no way I was going to pass this up, even if I was exhausted from shooting since the early hours. So after a quick one hour nap back
As I begin to get ready for my departure towards Okayama for this week-end's D1 Grand Prix event, I thought this would be a good time to wrap up the coverage from the D1 Street Legal round up in Ebisu. This was rather amusing, all the judges posing for the official D1 photographer and pulling weird faces. Nomuken seems rather confused LOL Okachan
The Street Legal action over in Ebisu kicked off very early on Saturday morning, which meant I needed to get on the road by a frankly absurd 4 am to make my way up to Fukushima in time. What I like about covering both days of a D1 event is that you get to see a far broader selection of cars, not just the seeded and top qualifiers. Kazama Auto with Moty's
What a week-end this has been! Two days of non-stop drifting as the D1 Street Legal guys battled it out at Ebisu circuit. I am beyond sleep deprived, so you will have to wait until tomorrow for a proper post on this action-packed event. For now, I've selected some teaser shots to keep you happy, but I'll be posting a lot more in the coming days
There is so much stuff going on behind the scenes of a D1 event that it would be a real pity not to take a small look at the paddock area. So take a walk around with me as I show you some of the cooler stuff I saw at Ebisu this Sunday. The opening shot of the 1/10 scale HPI Racing RC drift car sitting right in front of its 1/1 scale big brother, is
It seems every time D1 hits Ebisu circuit the weather has something in store for the drift crazy crowds that flock to this, the temple of drift. For the 2009 season opener we were all pretty lucky as the day was mostly sunny but there was a constant reminder that winter is not quite over up in the Fukushima mountains, as snow fell down lightly at times
Well here is my first contribution to Speedhunters , and it will have to be a bit of a short one I'm afraid. Sleep deprived and exhausted from what I can only describe as a pretty hectic week-end, I prepared some teaser shots from today's action at the D1-GP 2009 opening round in Ebisu. 2009 looks like a year for chance for D1 starting with
