D1 Grand Prix closed it’s first round this weekend at the famous Ebisu track which was freshly paved for the new season. Masato Kawabata from Team Toyo won the Ebisu event in his blue S15.

Kazuyoshi Okachan from Yashio factory crashed demolished his pink S15. He was rolling fast into the sharp right hander and the car just locked up and slammed right into the wall. Luckily he walked away from the accident and seemed to be alright.

Ken Nomura finished second but sadly was still in his R34 Skyline which means we have to STILL wait to see a R35 in action at a professional Drifting event.
