Daigo Saito puts down the craziest run in Qualifying ever. Check it at the end of the Video. D1 Round 5 was simply amazing, with almost too many thrills and spills. The Option DVD is a must buy. I know Dino will have some stunning pics to post on speedhunters too. OK, were all off to round 6 now! Good Luck TEAM ORANGE and well done to Suenaga on a awesome 5th yesterday - he was so close to beating the madman Daigo.
That’s right, big news here is that ”Mobil 1 – The Grid“, the Motorsports Magazine that’s transmitted around the world, chose Ebisu Circuit (Where else) for one or two features on drifting here in the country where it all started, Japan! Team Orange and ourselves at Powervehicles were the hosts and did all we could to show “The Grid“s viewers what Drift is all about!!
We were all interviewed for the show so unless we end up on the cutting room floor we will be making a personal appearance on your TV sometime in the next month or so.
A short time ago the Garage R track day took place on Minami course, in which we all decided to have a little battle contest! I’m driving the JZX90 and D1 Driver Takayama was battling me in the finals. There was a special finale where the winner, Takayama, took on Course specialist Suenaga! Enjoy!
This stunning S15 was driven in the D1 and Street legal Series by Sakuma-san. It used to be silver (APP Car) but in the last couple of years was bestowed with the legendary Team Toyo colours and is now available for sale. We had a good look over the car with it’s recently overhauled engine when it popped out to Ebisu for some testing.
Spring has definitely sprung at Ebisu Circuit. After it’s winter closure, the Touge Course has been cleared of all stones and winter debris and is now open and ready for a seasons action!
Here at Ebisu Circuit Team Orange don’t do things by half…. When the D1 Corporation requested 2 convertibles for the upcoming D1 Weekend at Odaiba the guys had a dilemma. They had their famous S13 Convertible but the only other suitable car they had was a regular RPS13 180Sx….. Time for a roof chop!
One of the 1st international visitors we hosted for a Team Orange Drift School Package were a couple of great guys from Singapore – Alan and Jason. As they promised back then, they have soon returned…. and this time they brought a load of friends. Alan and Jason this time opted to rent a car from us and practice what they had learned on their last visit, meantime 4 of the group took a Team Orange Drift School Package.
In this long winter we cant let the snow stop all the fun. Heres Suenaga testing out our Powervehicles S13 Silvia from our stock. The snap is on Ebisu’s School Course. The far side corner gets shade from the sun meaning this corner was still covered in snow, making for a challenge!
Here’s Team Orange star Naoto Suenaga posing with our new English version Flyer that we were handing out a while ago at Tokyo Auto Salon. Hes also sporting the new Team Orange jacket (Available to purchase at K-Style!)
