Doridore

So I was invited to the record some RR watch-alongs recently, one of which was a video of a rad Japanese drift event.

Shortly afterwards, I was idly looking through my Youtube recommendations and this rather excellent video popped up:



Containing a lot of excellence, including that low as heckins early grey 4 door Subaru, a fab purple Silvia and lots lots more.

So lets see what we can find....

The website for the event contains a lot of rather excellent cars...

Looks like the event in the video took place at Okuibuki Ski Resort in the middle of nowhere somewhere near Nagoya. It looks like a bloody epic place to hold a drift day, properly touge like in places (if a little wide) One of their previous events was at Motorland Mikawa which is probably why Youtube made the connection with RR watchalong.

Found a show report at StreetChic.jp that has some excellent photos in. Thats a pretty cool looking site actually, will have to delve into that later







Whats your favourite from the video? See if you can hunt down some details and pics

That’s a rabbit hole for later when I’m not supposed to be working

But the last link is just streetchic.jp (without the ‘.co’ )

Thanks for the heads up, I seem to be failing at links recently! Updated.

Glad you pointed that out, as theres a lot on that site!

I love that stuff like this exists!

oh wow - thanks for the links to those sites - that's some great reading for later!
(I welcome anymore similar JP sites if you know of any)

I see a CROWN on the thumbnail of the video - I always marvel at the guys skidding CROWNs. I have a wagon but at 1700 kilos you'd have trouble piloting it around a roundabout, let alone a mountain pass!

I went looking for the Sylvia I picked out, because it was bonkers.

I started trying to find more images from the event, the title on the original video was:
楽し走2021 DRIFT ドリフト走行 TANOSHISOU VOL'4 モーターランド三河

So I started in the way of these things by looking for sections of the Japanese. I chose first: 楽し走

Turns out that translates to Fun Run. Twitter has some photos of previous events there : twitter.com/hashtag/%E6%A5%BD%E3%81%97%E8%B5%B0

What caught my eye though was an official aftermovie, which I figured may point to some instagram accounts if I was lucky


No such luck, but I did throw the 楽し走 search in to Youtube to see if anything else came up. ... and lo look what is in the list:

Which had a link to their Twitter and I remembered an old trick from way back when, search for the stickers!


Is a good example. I went and looked for Revive Japan on Instagram, which lead to this:
www.instagram.com/revive__japan/

Check out the drifting snaps in there and eventually one had the location in it, which is a great way to explore Instgram

Which took me to this picture

And the owner of the Sylvia is tagged:

Yay for the internet

That is some most excellent sleuthing there!

Finding the owners Instagram is always such a win.

You get to see details you don't normally....

Check out the under bonnet detailing!

That inner wing is a thing of beauty!! Would not have expected that given how it was being chucked about.

Think this is the owner of that excellently low Subaru:

Found by looking for the Lowstars hashtag from the big sticker in the windscreen and then seeing what that bought up. Dude also seems to have an excellent legacy wagon.
