Chris from the US Base sent us this little vid that they made up on there last pilgrimage to Ebisu.  Lots of thrills and spills and some really unusual camera views, check it out.

After being consistent all day, and qualifying 5th, i made an error leading to the crash in the last round of D1 Divisional here on the Minami Course .  Apologies to Masato-san (The driver of the AE86) for leaving him with no where to go!  I tried to remedy a poor entry with bags of throttle, but too much angle meant i came up short and ended up switching back across the track, collecting the AE86, and ending up in the foam barrier.  The damage is only cosmetic and the car will be ready for the final round in October.  This meant though i didn’t get a top 8 finish and i now need a lot of points from the last round to get a D1 SL License for next year….  oh well that’s racing!

Special Thanks to Luke who caught the crash (perfectly!) on tape as he was there filming for his upcoming DVD – We are Drift.  I could say i done it on purpose just for some good footage…..  but I’d be lying!
