Mountain Drifting IV | Checkpoint Japan (4K)

It’s finally time for Mountain Drifting IV.
After just over a year since our last Mountain Drifting video, we decided to come back and make this installment before the weather takes a turn for the winter. This series is essential to Checkpoint Japan, so we wanted to do everything possible to make it the best we can. From hand-picking cars and drivers to waiting for the perfect day to hit the mountain, we were finally ready to get back out there.
In this installment of our most anticipated video in a while, Marcus unleashes the full potential of his stock-body liveried BRZ, proving that you don't need a garage full of mods to shred winding roads. Brian, with his SR-swapped S13, showcases precision and smoothness. Josh pushes the boundaries of control with his 1JZ-swapped Altezza, and Milo, behind the wheel of his 1UZ Supra, demonstrates the pure beastly force of that V8 engine.
We hope you enjoy their incredible driving, paired up with the perfect road, and the beautiful fall colours.
