In the early morning at idlers day, d1gp regular markx was unloaded from a truck. Compere to other machines at idlers day it was surrounded by totally different aura.

You don’t see professional competitive cars here especially in drift class that even it got officials’ attentions. They came for new motor’s shake down to go to Tokachi round which is the first time for d1gp. Because it was a shake down, they only drifted few laps, and went left after the first heat.

After they left, side ways class was filled by all the regulars like N-style cars.

There are not many heats for drift class in the event, but it’s one of a rare drift event that they can have passenger. So I would like to see those Yamanashi regulars and Fuji speedway drift park regulars here drifting with them.

早朝に筑波に運び込まれるD1GPではお馴染みのマークX。idlersのドリフトクラスには場違いすぎるモンスターマシンの登場にオフィシャルメディアもざわつく。

D1GP初開催の十勝ラウンドに向けたニューエンジンのシェイクダウンの場として、idlers筑波が選ばれたようだ。勿論シェイクダウンなのでドリフトでの走行数ラップのみで、1ヒート目終了後即座に撤収。

Kunn’z撤収後のSide Way Class(ドリフトクラス)は、お馴染みのメンツともいえるN-STYLE軍団を始めとした大御所達の饗宴。

一般的なドリフト走行会と比較すると走行時間は短いが、筑波サーキットをドリフトで同乗走行可能なイベントとしては貴重なだけに、山梨勢、Fuji Speedwayドリフトパーク勢も是非参加して欲しいイベントだ。
