The kickoff of the 2013 D1 Grand Prix season is normally looked at the Tokyo Auto Salon which brings out a huge group of drivers to put on an exhibition of the parking lot. Here is Daigo Saito with his Sunoco Fuels sponsored Lexus IS250-C. This car sounds quite insane as he rips around the TAS parking lot.

    Is it just me or are Asian drifting machines appearing to replicate NASCARRRR! styling?

    It seriously makes me think they’re starting to make clutches out of unobtanium, because I can’t even begin to imagine how one would last one event with power like this.

  5. Bridges Racing says:

    We ran an off the shelf SPEC super twin all year in this car, his SC430 as well as Robbie’s SC300 and chaser.

  6. Steve B. says:

    all that power for such a tiny track.

  7. Mike Peters says:

    LOL at the 10lb portable fence thingys between Daigo’s car and the photographers.

    Here’s a vid of the whole event it seems. Qualifying was a warm up run followed by one qualifying run. They had 8 D1 driver’s. Top 8 was just one tandem run with higher qualifier leading I’m assuming. Top 4 was traditional tsuiso.

    This guys never stopped filming basically.

  9. Brian says:

    Haha I’m not the only one who thought the fence was little odd… and we all thought Santa was baller
