Welcome again viewers to another event! This time we take you to Odaiba, Tokyo for the 2013 D1 GP Tokyo drift championships.
Although I've been around the street drift scene for many years, this was the first professional D1 event I've attended. I have to say it was pretty surprising to see how commercialized it's become. A lot different from the street scene and having to run away from the cops. lol
The two day event was action packed with local Japanese teams as well as international Russian and Thai teams going head to head. We witnessed heated drift battles, daredevil stunt van antics, Anime character drifting expedition, and an unusual amount of epic car crashes. So much to take in over just two days, boy was it worth it.
The track wasn't the only place with a lot action going on. The pit area was equally as busy with teams trying to optimize their cars performance and other crews trying to desperately put their cars back together to stay in the competition.
Well I hoped you folks enjoyed a quick look into D1 racing! Stay tuned to Vision Lab for future upcoming event post! Until next time, finger on the shutter trigger!
