So many legendary drivers and cars!

[@bennyc6694]

I was happy to see Youchi Imamura back in the Apexi FD RX7, when the D1GP first came to the US it was the URAS ER34 4 door driven by Ken Nomura & Youchi Imamura in the FD RX-7, that car & watching him driving was the reason I got my FD

[@DJTHRILLER]

This is great! So cool to see the Legends out there from Japan. I remember watching Option videos of them on vhs lol damn I’m getting old lol

[@Chavez96PR]

So glad RS-R approached you to make this event happen. Really enjoyed the coverage 👍

[@xawesome4x30]

Dude seeing Imamura compete in his A' PEXi RX7 in present day is epic 🤯 I'm only used to seeing it in blurry old D1 videos. Such a sick car, sounds so good 🔥 Icon of a bygone era.

[@kavinsky909]

just discovered this sport, now hooked, thanks for the awesome content

[@kyshro]

The Apexi FD3S & RS-R Supra are 2 of the most iconic drift cars of all time 😍

[@IzzoForex]

I had never heard of the Apexi brand before. Seems like a good car. I love Supras though.

[@kyshro]

@@IzzoForex Their power FC controllers/commanders were on the majority of tuned JDM cars in the 90s. Imamura won the D1GP Championship with the Apexi FD3S in 2003…

[@seventh-hydra]

​@@IzzoForex In the 00s Apexi was one of the biggest names in the drift scene.

[@douglaslynch1068]

Loved every drop of it, hope to experience it live.!!!!!

[@KingDeadMan]

Yooo. The Japanese f*cked us six ways to Sunday in the team battle! Holy hell! 🤣🤣🤣

[@fastmax848]

Very nice to see so many legends on the track, so bad for that diesel, anyways, a good show and a great anniversary for RS-R. Thanks all for this little off-season entertainment...

[@djewan9319]

yeah man the drift star from D1 ..............................fxxking cool

[@vultuze]

Imamura's styling on his RX7 is so perfect

Great Idea Adam! Kinda like a traveling Hot Ones but for drifting👌🏽

Legendary is an understatement, Epic Drifting from all drivers involved, i'm absolutely in love with Formula Drift & Formula Drift Japan, i pray that this Motor Sport goes global - RS🌟R Ichiban 🇯🇵 🇺🇸

[@keshkalleshh8329]

Is it my devices or the resolution is not that great?

[@angelwalker.]

For the quality my phone was to recomended and looked like poop. Put it to "best quality" and it fixed it. For those wondering

[@BraydanSanborn]

Works

[@user-vg5cn2li2q]

凄すぎる！

[@bmw3-er]

that is such a cool e46 wagon

[@the_JDM_fanatic]

Why is the quality so blurry and fuzzy?

[@formuladrift]

That is just at the beginning and because the internet at the track is not sufficient so we had to bring in our own system and it was equalizing as we started the broadcast.

[@anthonythrottle]

this came out on my Bday, YEEESSS, but where was Naoki for the biggest backie?🤣

[@ahmadrifai8257]

love you wiwit❤

Diesel powered and bucked up.

[@MFGous]

only 2 corners?

[@TeamDrif-Tastik]

The point of a back is to see if you can go backwards the most. Odie did a better job

[@giggle6790]

More engine noise less commentary

[@ARTICLE7ENT]

Funny way to insult your fans by saying just cause they don’t agree with the judges it’s because of blind loyalty to a driver… like we’re incapable of making judgments for our selves

[@formuladrift]

Where is the quote for that and who said it?

[@scherpebocht]

Quality in 180potato

[@folkabuss]

My eyes hurt.

[@dencio1976]

Shouldn't have gone OMT. Odi scrubbed off too much speed going into that mid section of the outside zone. Fredrick's chase speed was just right. Didn't come in too hot and even made adjustment to not hit Odi but came up short. I still fault it to Odi though. That one judge got it right.

[@robertovargassoto4884]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Lurkfooty]

is the quality bad for everyone else lol

[@damarlo1]

Yup, tried watching it on 4k monitors. Looked like it was maybe 720p and hella washed out. Had to stop watching it tbh
