Luke of WeAreDrift just released this cool short video of a couple of backward entries at Nikko. As Luke says, if you are not entering corners backwards you're not trying hard enough! -Dino Dalle Carbonare
Following the first part of the Toyota Motorsports Festival I thought it would be very appropriate to do my next spotlight on a Toyota drift car. I have been seeing this N-Style JZZ20 at tons of drift events over the last couple of years and it has always stood out thanks to its bright red paint-job and those unmistakably cool 80's lines. It was
Time to head back at Nikko for more coverage from the third round of the Street Legal championship which as we saw in Part 1 , was won by Nakamura, in his D-max S15. Every time I go to Nikko I end up taking way too many pictures, bad for me as I need to sort through all of them once I get home, but good for you guys as you can see how the crazy Japanese
If you're planning a trip to Japan, I highly recommend NOT going during the month of June -unless you enjoy wet weather that is. I've been here for two weeks now, and I don't think there's been a single day when it hasn't rained. With that said, here's some more rainy action from the Yellowhat Motorsports soukoukai at Nikko Circuit

Nikko, Japan is a scenic and popular tourist location from people all over the world who want to check out some traditional Japanese culture on their trips to to Japan.

I was just going through some more photos from last weekend's MSC event at Nikko Circuit and realized I have some more cool stuff to post. I can't say enough how fun MSC events are to shoot. The vast number of cool-looking cars and exciting driving provides a wealth of good shooting possibilities, and even though Nikko is a small course, there
Time for more some more action from last weekend's MSC Challenge event at Nikko Circuit. There is just something about these MSC events that offer the perfect balance of talented drivers and impressive cars without the drawbacks of a "pro" drifting event. MSC events are run on smaller courses meaning there are few grandstands or other
What is your idea of the perfect first wedding anniversary? A gourmet dinner and a walk on the beach perhaps? Maybe some soft piano music and glasses of wine? What about taking a trip to see the best grassroots drift series in Japan tearing it up on one of the world's most iconic drift courses? That is just where I found myself yesterday as I somehow
Yesterday it was back to Nikko Circuit for another mid-week drift meeting, this one held by Kazama Auto Service and Pit ORC. As normal for this time of year in Japan, the weather was cloudy and warm, but fortunately the rain held off for the most part. After fighting a seemingly endless fleet of slow moving trucks on the highway, I arrived at Nikko
