I have to enter this drift competition

[@BarryMahcockiner]

Let's gooo, Noriyaro D1 Lights 2025 🤙

[@Charlie-Charlot]

Nice ! Not to brag but I personally am the undefeated champion of D1 delusional

[@LukeCannotSkate]

goated comment lmfao

[@ritarossweisse_]

Damn 😂

[@blitzznvlls]

Is it just me or has been Alexi has been uploading much more frequent recently? Lovin it

[@gabrielrobles1118]

Been a great treat to see all the videos 📹 in action! 🎬

[@sebastianmcking4711]

Dont jinx it

[@daltonbedore8396]

i think he said he "went full time" recently

[@skunkwerkz777]

still waiting for any s15 jzx or beans update content that is not something burning down

[@AirUpBritt]

This is what keeps me going lol

[@Olde_Spice]

About time we start competing again!

[@Charlie-Charlot]

What I absolutely love about the drift and car scene in general in Japan is how everything is so clean and well done. They seem really passionate about it but also very invested in their cars.

[@Yung_Smoke_Gang]

that’s just japan in general from what i see as an american

[@Charlie-Charlot]

@@Yung_Smoke_Gang I wish more people would take inspiration on these Japanese guys. I went to a drift event last week in the south of France, it was the polar opposite of this, very cool but pure chaos with pretty much every drivers on the track at the same time, some pros (with Daigo Saito’s corvette funnily enough), some amateurs and some, like me, learning with a coach. Complete chaos even when it comes to the cars, some were really clean and at the same time there was an old Mercedes diesel without a bonnet, mismatched wheels etc

[@thatopendiffdude9109]

​@@Charlie-Charlot Its the same thing in Germany. Local drift events look like destruction derbys with completley destroyed and low effort tuned BMWs.

[@Charlie-Charlot]

@@thatopendiffdude9109 yeah it’s kind of sad because it gives a bad image to the sport and drives the wrong crowd sometimes. Missiles cars are fun and cool but there’s a lot more to drifting than that, similarly than there’s more than just FD/D1GP. I think the main problem is that some part of Europe got a bit late into drifting and got into it with its emergence on social media rather than knowing and understanding its true origin with its culture. There’s obviously a lot of knowledgeable people out here but maybe the average drift enthusiast isn’t as much as they are in Japan

[@gabrielmalta1962]

@@Charlie-Charlot Personally I am a fan of the euro-style missiles. They embody the low-budget, high-send spirit of drifting I think. May I ask, what track did you guys run?

[@realkilju]

Mr yoshida has a really cool s14! That livery looks amazing and the whole build is very clean

17:06 holy that was absolutely amazing, what a skill from the driver

[@SmithJolyon]

This level of drifting is so much more interesting to watch than the big crazy builds, something more down to earth and up to driver skill. Some interesting match ups too!

[@anthonyestevez118]

Alexi, you have nothing to lose by entering. What you will learn and gain in experience is priceless! Great content as always!

[@ErebosGR]

The only thing you will definitely lose by competing is money, heaps of it. 😅

[@lewishudson867]

The first guy was saying how it would be driver skill holding him back - clip then proceeds to cut to him absolutely ripping it into a corner, his skill is amazing! I don’t think I’d be ever able to do that. Can’t believe that his car runs on stock breaks, but it’s like belt belt level driving where he knows the way the car reacts to stock

[@BrunoVentura22]

R33 was on fire

[@d0p3y86]

This is an enjoyable level of competition

[@AnIrishPapaya]

Blowing off the bad juju at the end with compressed air was hilarious

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

Noriyaro - "I don't think I've ever done that.." proceeds to post clip of him doing it 😂 👊🏾

[@ErebosGR]

Still, he didn't ride the ripple strip. He was inside of it the whole time, and his slip angle was much shallower.

[@Akaistos]

One of the only channels where I am so excited for the intro. Like I am even excited for it while watching the prologue(or what u wanna call the cuts in at the beginning) - perfect music and clips. Awesome video, like always. :)

[@deathorglorystyle]

Do it!! You should 100% enter even if it’s only for the experience more than anything

[@uokutadrifts]

really love that black R33

[@patrykkowalski6]

that r33 was consistently doing hot entries lap after lap

[@TunPiccolo]

D1 with Pro-Succ

[@FrankiemC86]

Gold jzx was my favorite

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Awesome vlog. Great to see some competition racing. Thank you for covering tires, car set up and circuit technique. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.

[@86Spain]

it looks like an entry level comp but although the cars have a normal build in terms of parts and engine, it seems that the handling and setup are well armed. looking forward to seeing what you get! best wishes!

[@Chulme1234]

Consistency is super important! A quote I once heard that stuck with me "90% of battles are lost, not won" Ie most people win a battle because they made less mistakes

[@Christosan88]

Yea man do it!! You got the cars, the experience, THA SHOP, and a fan base. The Alexi Draft livery is iconic.

[@TechIOwn]

11:22 I love hearing your opinion, personally I think it would be cool to see a deep dive of each run and what scores well or loses points, proximity, smoke, speed, etc from a judges perspective.

[@robwatson9350]

Love this style of video. All ways love when you do machine checks, so refreshing to see normal cars compared to over built style cars.

[@bobtheman4500]

Another cool video. Thanks for making this cool content. Cheers from NYC mate!🏍🤘👍

[@Killbot_2000]

you gotta do it man! even if its just entering the qualifier. That alone will be invaluable experience!! don't sell yourself short, you're a great driver. 🥳

[@simracer3551]

Exciting times! Cant wait to see you compete!

[@elijaah81]

Such a fun level of competition. Well sorted cars with 400hp or so and simple layouts

[@MrTahrik]

Those JZX's were shredding absolutely love it!

[@halfwaytobedlam3234]

i never really picked up the finer points of drifting competitions so it's great to hear your commentary and thoughts on this

[@andrzejkopalnia]

I love the anticipation and excitement in your voice. Notifications on, this will be awesome!!! ❤

[@Apticx]

Those events look like so much fun to watch. hope i can get to one of those sometime.

[@PlenumGaming]

Great vid, I do love me some lower spec (ish) drift cars, really fun to see you point out some things in their driving.

[@MSTRMNDWRX]

This video makes me miss Alexi's JZX. That was my favorite car of his since we don't have them in the States

[@xTheNameisEthan]

You honestly have the best intro on KZbin

[@BongerZ013]

Good luck broski! You got this. And like you said, if not, still get that xp in the process.

[@florian_montuzet]

Love this kind of informative videos !

[@themadscientest]

I love that drifting has never taken its self too seriously.

[@Duvelz]

I would be soooo hyped to see Noriyaro doing competition!!!

[@Kerosyn]

that green 180 is so incredibly cool

[@oskarhass]

Go get it! Heartwarming to watch!

[@Oluabayo]

Can't wait for the comp!

[@Lumignons]

Oh yeah noriyaro competing in D1 Divisional and more would be so cool !!!!

[@TheXnyu]

thank you many times for the lots of videos lately

[@hablyrizqi7644]

Go for it! Also love this type of vids!!

[@andrebarbosa224]

Very good video, would watch you go to every event of this series

[@Ange-tc4rm]

I want to see you competing !! So cool man. Best of luck and learn! I know you can do it.

[@caldyer2577]

Awesome video! You can do it man!

[@burger1113]

That would be so awesome seeing you build a comp car! So hyped

[@gerekappo]

I loved the interview in the begening on the video. We need more japanese on your videos brother!

[@siiiiiiiiiimo]

1:38 daynom templeman D1NZ colours on the black thing

[@cllris]

Giving off MSC energy. Be wicked to see you competing in this.

[@racemonkies6148]

Go for it !!! Dont hold back

[@Sofolod]

lets goooo noriyaro just enter!!!

[@rancor1223]

That was a fantastic video, I would love to see these more analytical videos, on how it's supposed to be done, how does the judging works and such. Honestly, it's still not entirely clear here what's being judged.

[@nico179]

These types of videos are the best types of videos

[@fiishs_]

omg the footage of the pre-charred jzx100 ripping mobara

[@jaystrub210]

Do it! Just gotta take that first step.

[@madcat4563]

9:18 (happens at 9:22) that was really impressive and blew me away. This sounds exciting. When are we seeing maintenance on the S15?

[@space_opera]

Please document as much of the process for competing. I will watch it all.

[@jonathanpinckney9227]

Just my 3rd person perspective, but the JZX's might do better at Mobara because of the inline 6's ability to produce torque in that big sweeper, whereas Nikko's corners seem tighter, and more suitable for perhaps lower powered 4 cylinders, focusing more on car handling than need for power to bring it out of the big turn(s).

[@3m4rder]

The S14 from Yoshidi is soo well speced. It would be perfect vor Alexi. And would be perfect when Alexi would compeed in this series. Just do it Alexi 😁

[@Shazzgaming]

that blue 180sx drift was soo clean!

[@edugamer950]

Alexi, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we all want you to see enter any competition.

[@ErebosGR]

lol @ the outro clip of Alexi blowing the rubber particles off his clothes. RIP your lungs.

[@mr.hellsy]

Hell yeah Noriyaro!

[@Marbeary]

11:40 the yellow car hitting the wall made me laugh a bit because it showed "Wasak" for me as a Filipino because it means broken/damage in my language.

[@tentacleprty]

Don't let your dreams be dreams Alexi!!!

[@dstnrhds]

HELL YEAH! LETS GO!

[@jorgedscoelho]

Ring up Naoki!! Good luck with the car and the driving 🙏🙏

[@RampageV1d30s]

you can do it!!

[@flyingnacho27]

You already know I jumped on the Chiba Damashi video 😎

[@davinchi280]

JUST GO FOR IT MAN, JUST DO !

[@BakedKipling]

few years ago i wanted to build an s13 to this spec but prices are insane now, i am glad i got my ps13 when i did though i bought it for drifting i have not actually taken it to my local track due to how prices are now just insane on these over here. S15 is in a similar bracket imo but if you still have the beercan maybe that would be a great project for something like this, give it another life of sorts

[@TimMyles]

Come on Alexi we wanna see you in D1!

[@silent5]

upload consistency is crazy, I almost feel spoiled

[@fearmonger2574]

that old pic of you seated in front of your jzx goes so hard

[@MrMADDO17]

Divisional seems the closest to the old school D1SL vibe (peak of competition imo) which is so cool to see. Much more relatable feel to it than GP/FD/DMEC. Side note, you should definitely setup the Cresta for doing divisional. Little homage to competing in the Mk2 and the S15 gets to retain its current setup/duties

[@bassman9544]

congratulations

[@Optimoosepryme]

you should do a series of more in depth review of the cars their running in japan. give a rundown of them so those of us in other countries can see whats being done differently!

[@azypk]

17:20 Please do it! I would love to see you driving around this corner

[@Greasy]

Another motivational bunch of clips that are leaning me towards getting a jzx lol. Also Alexi, can you vouch for powervehicles? Importing a drift ready car to the US seems like a dumb idea but who ever said I make good decisions :^) I want a jzx so bad lol

[@jdmimportlogistics]

PV was the best buying experience ever for me- bought two and now that I live in Japan I'm kicking myself for not scooping up an S15 shell from them when I had the chance- highly recommend

[@rohanxalxo9218]

Let's go ...... Compitition !!!!!!!

Do it ! Believe!

finally, tournament arc

[@Hot_Snakes]

Time to get the cresta done

[@staffanstuff]

Oh, yes!

[@shirtstuckedin]

enter Alexi! divisional is super fun x

[@pizzazombie5209]

Seven months late, but is that elliotisacoolguy at 19:30??? What an unexpected crossover!

[@riotcailin]

hopefully cresta will come in action

[@mrkouki180sx]

i was building a car back in 2019 to send over to japan to enter d1 divisional as a bucket list type thing for 2020 well we all know what happen that absolutely murdered that idea the caged shell is currently rotting away in my backyard as a reminder of how covid screwed me

[@jdmimportlogistics]

Can still happen- we're getting organized to support those dreams for people that want an alternative from the Ebisu route-Cheers

[@Vapourdave]

Serious video analysis Conclusion: f*** it we'll do it LIVE

[@COU51N.Kyle.]

Please compete. Would love to watch and see what it is like for you
