Saw this at the port the other day.  What a great way to save on shipping costs.  Don’t think it will work with drift cars some how…. unless they are “missiles”!

No this isn’t some strange engine swap…. Harley is the driver.  He is one of many visitors who have braved Ebisu’s winter weather for a chance to get some one on one tuition from a Genuine Japanese D1 Driver, as part of a Team Orange School Package.

Back at the last round of D1 SL at Tsukuba there was a stand with a Dyno in the pits so Naoto Suenaga grabbed the chance to see what power his 2008 D1 SL Championship winning S13 Silvia was delivering to the wheels.

Ebisu Circuit now has a Webcam.  Its located above the main strait on the Higashi Course.  This  screenshot taken earlier this month shows the sun rising over a light dusting of new snow, not a uncommon site at this time of year.  The snow doesn’t seem to hang about for long though and hasn’t disrupted our drifting much so far!

We Managed to squeeze 36 well used tyres into the back of our little Stepwagon after Matsuri.  Not much life left in any of those!

Better late than never…..  Even though it’s now deep in winter we’re still busy as ever getting cars ready for this years events, so it’s taken us a while to get round to featuring my favourite Drift Matsuri to date – the 2009 Aki(Autumn) Drift Matsuri….

Here’s Video 1 of 2 from Luke of “We are Drift”promoting his upcoming DVD.  In this clip there’s some coverage of the last Drift Matsuri, inc some nice wall taps from Ben (Oz) and Paul (Holland).  There was more than a bit of paint left at the circuit over that weekend…. Naoto Suenaga can also be seen posing for the camera as normal in one clip and there some action featuring Daigo Saito and Fellow D1 Divisional competitor Mizuno tearing around the Minami course in their “Missile” Cars….. Oh happy memories of last year.

This is 2 of 2 Promo Videos Luke has made for his upcoming DVD – We are Drift.  This one features lots of action from here at Ebisu, including clips from D1 Divisional, Matsuri and some footage of Daigo Saito and Kunnyz practicing before D1 on Minami.  I know he has some even better footage for the DVD when its finally finished, lets hope that wont be too much longer!  Love the quick clip of Suenaga with his “dont touch” comment (Referring to when he and i were driving for the video shot, as close as we dared!). If you like what you see then get over here, as this is all a usual day at the office for us!

In pursuit of a last chance to get a D1 Street Legal License we headed down to Nikko Circuit to enter the Goodyear “Gurachan D” competition.  It was to be a tough comp fought keenly between 72 hopefuls in-front of a squad of Goodyear D1 Driver judges….
