Is Japanese drifting actually THAT good? D1GP Tokyo review... 

I think Ferrari is just jealous, that someone created a cooler end result car than the do. Just like there arrogance with there clutch problems, wy Lamborghini started to build there own cars. Still the F40 is one of my all time favorite cars ever.

Love to see a few of the Japanese drivers over in Europe

Such an insane video! Thanks so much for getting to Japan and showing us the culture there, and how it's so stylish. Can't wait to see what elements you are inspired by and bring back to Europe!! And buzzing for the other videos in Japan!

Such a great video. Great editing, great camera angles. Spectacular to watch and really brought the excitement to our living rooms.

I'm so glad to see you freaking out about everything in Japan cause I would do exactly the same thing. So to be able to vicariously live through you in these videos has been awesome. Keep it up!

WOW! Another awesome video from you guys! Thanks @driftgames_life for continuing to upload amazing content like this for all of us to watch and enjoy! I'm really enjoying the videos about your trip to Japan.... I'm looking forward to seeing what your next adventure will be! Keep up the great work and stay safe out there!

Great vid Dave! Hope you’re having an amazing time in Japan, you’re making me want to go even more now🙌🏻 Take care mate

Man Luca's editing skill is ridiculously good especially the clips choices omg

Super cool to see you so hyped up about everything you see, totally feel that. Great Video :*

Brilliant video , nice to see a different type of view to a D1 event

Great job everyone !! Looks like alot of fun there. Enjoyed every minute of this !!

Great content, really enjoy watching always something new.

Thanks for taking along for the event. Very cool vlog 🤩👍. I am too new to drifting to address the closing statement.

Aloha I’m late Dave get the front end while your in Japan and I already know you did !!! ❤😂🎉

I've followed d1gp for a while but its so refreshing to see drift games quality over these cars.. It really shows just how beautiful the livery work and kit selection is! SO GOOOD MAN

Keep in mind those Ferraris usually arent as rare as Ferrari likes to say they are. Plus they are anti-consumer as hell (even compared to other car companies, which is impressive ) so screw em lol. Also ya know how in the West we rebadge Lexus and Acuras and Infinitis as Toyota, Honda and Nissans as their JDM counterpart? I think they do the exact opposite in Japan haha. Ive seen Acura badged Integras and stuff quite a bit in other vids which is funny and cool.

This has to be one of the best 👌 nice work Dave

Great video. Great to see fanboy Dave just beaming the biggest smile waking the pits.

Yo fasto from side X is such cool guy and everything he does for the drift community at ebisu 👏🏻👏🏻👌👌

Watching this day live with Alexi commentating was a treat, thanks for this behind-the-scenes footage! So many amazing cars, shame about the spotty weather and "track" conditions.

man i love your videos soo much thanks

Absolutely loving the content, it's been a long time coming but I'm glad to see you're in Japan! Can't wait for you to link up with Jimmy oakes and the rest of the lads for a crazy matsuri!

LOVE it :D great video and the cars in Japan

For me this sketchy stuff what Dave was talking about in d1 is this what makes it different more interesting and exciting but there are good and bad competitions cause of it . But this all is seeking for next level of drifting !!!Snappy big angle initiations and stuff like that makes it harder to do better chase and lead also which is exactly what you aiming during grassroots with your friends to be more skilful and be better . Streams are incomparable better of our European DMEC but the way of judging for meee even if it’s far from satisfying is still better in Japan D1 .

19:25 love that kit

great job dave, loving the japan content

Keep that Japan content coming boys! Many many legends in D1GP, it will always be the grand daddy of drift events. Would be cool if you could visit some legendary shops around Japan like HKS, Bee-R, R-Magic, MCR, etc. p.s. Lucas please fix Dave's camera settings and enable image stabilization 🤣

Love that gt86 kit! I think i would want some bn-blister style over fenders. Miss that style.

Great video mate!

Incredible Video,Jah Bless from South Puerto Rico

have not even seen the video yet but I KNOW that thumb nail is bait haha, I'm sure it was awesome and I'm glad you got to experience it and to have Alexi commentating is the cherry on top.

That blue S15 was sick! Always cool to see a unique kit/style on one. Also Daihatsu is owned by Toyota so explains the GR badge. Also the Copen is FWD afaik, tho maybe they drivetrain swapped it lol

That gt86 stock body with the bell bottom kit goes absolutely bonkers

The ciggy saw joke was legit

Completely agree, Japanese combines both form and function compared the rest of the world. Their drift cars are on another level.

i have been waiting for Akiba to come in Europe so bring Akiba with Naoki to DMEC 🔥💯

Go Fausto! Go Brazil!!

Maybe FD & Driftmasters could add scored solo expression runs to the top 8/4/2 battles, to replace OMTs? No need to initiate at a set point, just be epic, get close to walls, much smoke, maximum angle, extra points for backing it in. Both drivers get to go hog wild & get scored, & then it's down to the serious controlled work of lead & chase runs, but if they come up even, the tie breaker is the expression run scores...

I honestly think that FD needs a judging system like D1 or even a hybrid system. A lot of the fans have zero faith in the judges. Most of them are faceless guys that haven’t ever competed at that level so there’s a lot of disrespect.

Such a cool new video. Thanks for sharing Dave! I would take the 4 rotor S15 all day over the lambo

What camera is Dave using here? Looks like quite a neat setup!

Toyota owns a big chunk of Daihatsu and they pretty much handles Toyota's Kei car business (and also other affordable regular cars sold across South East Asia).

The fact that Ferrari gets all bent out of shape when anyone does something visually to their cars will always be amusing. I'm all for the JP Liberty Walk flare.

I think the kit on the Blue S15 would look better myself your car Dave! But the 240 front end kit looks good! Love the Merci And 4 Rotor S15 and the LBW Ferraris! The Blue Booststar S15 beside your boy is Sammir’s helper and friends car In D1! He’s pretty good himself!

Yooo i see daiki back there

24:04 Grande Fausto!

that GT86 kit looks amazing IMO

Of course we want to se Ruyusei in Europe! Make it happen Dave! Even if it's not Dmec, maybe a driftgames weekender to start off with?

14:45 how do you get your hands one of those? Would love to put it on a laurel

Best place to see the OG's of drifting and New legends to come,moving to Ireland in feb so one place I want to visit is driftmasters HQ 🤟🤙👍✌

That GT86 kit was perfect.

Absolutely love the kit on the yellow 86 definitely has S chassis vibes

That GT86 kit is pretty solid. I feel it just being 1 single overall color kinda makes it difficult for the brain to see the form/body being smooth. Like a proper livery or paint job with 2 colors would definitely make it pop a lot more to see those shapes emphasized more.

Ok so talking as a person with not much knowledge about competitive drifting but quite a lot of passion for it, the way they are judged with DOSS basically allowes leader to kinda run away with low angle. So it rewards a very weird style and they are kinda stuck with it. Also I havent followed d1 in a while but another thing is they dont get a whole lot of new drivers(or at least I personally havent seen many fresh younger drivers) and so it also might not be moving forward as much bcs of that. Another thing is tracks and line that drivers are given can be meh. I remember checking how is d1 doing some time ago and I saw a suuuper weird initiation where from what I understoond drivers are just told to just kinda guess it. Like to an extreme when the area where the lead driver MIGHT initiate is huge. I might have misunderstood it but it really seemed like it. And if so then thats really weird. I mean comparing to what I have seen on that track Odaiba is fine xD But in general comparing to tracks I have seen in other pro drift series, d1 doesnt seem have a lot of good tracks. Another thing I am not sure about is how it was before but I think there was a very specific vision for the style of driving and it was consistent and rewarded good driving. As a result of it being consistent drivers were able to grow a lot. But then with the DOSS the style slowly changed towards where it is now when you can see how top drivers who you know can drive incredibly well but in order to win drive almost straight sometimes which in certain cases can look just ridiculous. But well I dont know much about d1 or competitive drifting so this is just how it looks from an outside perspective and might be completely wrong. If you know more please correct me

24:53 oh hello Daiki 🤗

That awesome liberty walk did a wide body lambo meri for drifting!!!

hope more japanes drivers will compete D1GP X DMEC

Full of smile 😊

D1's biggest problem now is the track, is not chase friendly and almost all the layout only has two corners, and sometimes doss is pretty werid.

Can u make vid about dos system... Scoring

S15 all day! That car is dope

@driftgames you need to come to fd atl in American you would be amazed at how much jdm is there it's best drift event in the world I would agrue

Mad edit team. This is great viewing

HGK kit on the e92 damn, Latvia made it :D

Yes get that front end !!!

The yellow s15 is g Corp demo car ❤

Is that a Vancouver hat? Like Vancouver BC?

Make sure to visit Smoky @ Top Secret. He is in the Chiba district,. Top guy and so friendly. We need to see Smoky on an upcoming vlog 😁 bring him some beers,. We did and his hospitality was second to none. Make sure you bring some beers 😂

That kit on the S15 looks a lot like the Ben Sopra kits you see on the 35 GTR

something is happening, if drift had continued as before, manual, 300hp and 500hp, it would be great because that's what drift was like before when neither Europe nor the United States had drift competitions, only Japan, now they do, 1000hp. , a rear brake cooler that makes the car look horrible because they open the rear window, a lot of steering angle, sequential gear, they no longer look like cars that you can build, they look like racing cars, when from the beginning it was about having fun , so Europe and the United States ruined the drift.

Fabuloso

Gt86 yellow kit was total old schoollllllll

for this handheld shots panasonic or sony with gimbal.

Defiantly get that man in Europe

Love the content. Videos are great. But for the love of god stop the click bait thumbnails, you dont need them no mo. Baller status reached

Daihatsu is part of Toyota, so a GR badge isnt too far off, dave :)

Do the front end Dave ! 15:23

10:37 Kei Miura !!!

D1GP is still so good. Tracks are way better than ovals in Formula Drift. Another driving technicque than in Europe is still great

Drift Masters is hands down the best !!

make it happen brothers

Id love to go to Japan and check out the drag racing scene. Probably see some cool stuff. Be even better if i could ship my E36 over to go drag racing and make some highway runs.🔥🔥

New drinking game: take a shot every tiME dave says "wild".......RIP 💀

Yes sir🤳🏽😍

The GT86 URAS kit is one of the four drift style chassis kits. First one is Futago Line shop, made here in the US by @davidbobb, and then the Origin Labo kit i believe came after or before the URAS gt86 kit. Then the Rectify kit is another drift style kit for the gt86.

I would take the 4 rotor S15

Yes

🚀🚀

Very beautiful car in white 🤌🏻

24:06 olha nosso mano faustola ai

Was disapointed with the GT86 but it seems like they fixed the issues with the GR86 and it is so sad they are not selling it in Ireland.

S15 !

D1は全体的にコースを長く広くしてほしいな　パワーはどんどん上がるのにコースが短くなっている気がする　 そうすればさらに魅力、迫力が増すと思います

86 body kit looks like old BN kits

This venue probably has the worse surface in the series, you can see the cars bouncing quite alot and some drivers struggled with it

Please consider using a camera stabilizer of some sort, the "walking around" footage if difficult to watch, at least for me, it makes me dizzy. 😅

Dude need to visit some shop.

15:00 there we have todays secret

That layout looks super bumpy.

I think the camera's stabilization is off.
