We Just got back from Round 4 D1 drift competition at Okayama Circuit. Okayama International Circuit is a 3.7 Kilometer circuit that has been in existence since the early 1990s. It is located in a very beautiful low lying mountain range about 200 km outside of Osaka. It is regarded as a dangerous track for spectators by many in the industry because of its lack of big barriers and shallow buffer zones around the turns. Zep Racing rents 2 garages that hold 4 cars total here to test demo cars and the rates sound very reasonable.  As for the event it rained off and on all day until the best 8 and then the sun came out. The crowd was good and we were surprised at how many showed up because the weather forecasts said there would be rain all day. The usual players were here but there were some new cars as well.  Conditions were wet and difficult. It would rain and then dry up a little so the track condition was constantly changing. There were a lot of course outs and many bumpers and side steps were lost in the battle. There were so many pics that I wasnt sure what to as they all came out really well.  For those of you waiting for the dvd we thought it would be better not to give a play by play. Instead here are the pictures. The videos are up here.
