It was great being there experiencing Japan's drift culture. For the competition, points are awarded to the drivers for style, guts, and technical driving. For the paired races, each driver is given at least one opportunity to lead and the trailing car has to keep up or try to pass the leader. I took a lot of photos on the track and heres one from the day's event. The track was still wet from the morning rain so there's a nice reflection of the car sliding by.

Drfiting...it's so much more fun when you can do it sideways at over 140km/h!"
