Drift Events?

[v_s_p_e_c]

I'm going to Japan in June to visit my sister in tokyo with my dad, so apart from all the other stuff to do in Japan i really want to get along to a couple of drift events. Can anyone tell me how often D1 events are held and where, i also wouldn't mind going to other events just to have a watch. Distance and cost is not a factor as i can mooch off the old man while i'm there.

Theres the 4th round of D1GP at Sportsland Sugo on the 9th and 10th of June. Its also the 3rd round of D1 street legal

Cool how far is Sugo from Tokyo? Is it far enough to stay over night there for the two days?

access map is here

its about a 2 hour shinkansen ride from tokyo to sendai

Thanks for the help mate, however date has been pushed back till July. Do go to these events at all?

[Hungryhippo]

no worries. just checked the D1 website and theres no round in july unfortunately. I havent been to one yet but im going to the suzuka round at the end of next month. Im in osaka so suzuka is pretty much the only one i can easily get to

Well i can't read Japanese but what dates in July are they holding events? BTW saw your thread on that goliath fine you got for street drift mate that must sting.

[Hungryhippo]

how long does it take to get there from osaka?

[Laurence]

Yeah the fine is pretty nasty... I won't be able to go out and drive at MSC unfortunately because of that.

No events in July, sorry mate.
