The M7  team consisting of (left to right) Daijiro Yoshihara, Max Orido, Tengku Djan, and Odi Bakchis have been at the Sepang Formula 1 circuit doing promotions for the Super GT race and the new product from M7 called Drive Energy Drink.

Odi Bakchis even put together a blog post about some of his fun at Sepang Circuit with the guys from M7. It looks like he had a great time in Malaysia. The M7 tuning house is already working on a complete package Scion FR-S for people who have picked one up already.

A quick flashback to the 2011 season in Asia shows some serious skills on display from former D1 champion Daigo Saito. His Toyota Altezza sponsored by Achilles Tires survived the challenges of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The first photograph above is from a tandem battle against Orido at Singapore.

Here is a final battle from Round 1 where Daigo Saito was set against Saranon in his Yokohama Tire S15.

You can see Ken Gushi lifting Daigo Saito in the air after Round 1 in Singapore as the Achilles Tire Toyota Altezza took home a victory over the weekend. Here are some other photos of Daigo Saito in action. Who is excited to see him in Formula Drift 2012?
