D1GP Dream Trip DAY 3

Hey All,

Its now Day 3 and I'm still trying to take it all in. SO far we have done some training in the Drift School Team Orange S14 and got me all fitted up to the Crazy Team Orange GDB. Today we are getting everything packed and ready to go to Odaiba TOKYO. WHich is a good 3 or 4 hour drive.




Here is the Famous EVO 9 of Team Oranges. Suenaga-San recently won the WTAC drift event in this very car ;)



Here is my baby :) Seriously could not wait to jump behind the wheel at this point!!


Kumakubo-San's latest car is the 1000hp RB26 C33 laurel. When you hear this on YouTube its like WOW... When you hear this in real life its like "OMFG WTF!!!!" hope that explains things ;)

So now we had all the cars down at the test track in EBISU it was time for testing. "Video coming soon :P"


Suenaga-San's EVO X drift car. This things Custom hubs are worth more then my car... Yeah its that awesome!!! ;)


Federico from Italy is now sporting Kuma's old D1GP GDB. Its been converted to LHD for him and hes a freaking crazy man behind the wheel. Was looking forward to having some runs with him


Check this out!!!! 2J goodness


Sagisaka-San's Beast sounded soooo good!!


that's why ;)


Now we just need some tyres for testing hmmmmmm


These will do hey?? haha ADVAN Neova's by the truck load!!! Thanks YOKOHAMA Japan


As I was heading back i noticed something odd..... yes she was going for a stroll with a Penguin haha...

Chief Mechanic Igusa-San is one funny bloke!! haha he thinks Federicos gogs are alright lol.....
Oh and I hooked him up a new DriftSquid Hoodie as this one was well worm out :)



This is the 5 Min Trolley hahaha....


Need more Power Jake-San????
Yes pleaseeeeeee
No Problem
hahahaha


YOKOHAMA are the best!!! Thanks heaps for the support :)


Such a crazy note is produced from this machine!!!


Loaded up the bus


Fede drove haha


NUTS


So after our little test session I was pretty excited to be able to say I could drive the GDB in confidence for the weekend. Only did a bunch of laps and was able to put it were I wanted to. Having concrete walls either side of me on the weekend might be a different story though haha..

Time to load the cars up to head off :)


EVO X up the top and Fede's GDB to go underneath


These trucks are seriously awesome... No idea why we don't have them here in OZ... We need em bad


Done :)


Kuma's beast will go on a flat top trailer


Igusa-San's Special order of FOOD arrived just for the event. One thing that needs to be packed is food... After all the people who make the car run need fuel too


As you can see Igusa-San takes his food seriously...
Igusa - "DriiiftoooIckaaaa - Single or Double???"
Me - ahhhhh Single?!?!?
Igusa - DOUBLE!!!!! Always Double
Turns out he was talking about Quarter pounders hahaha... You must have Double!!! LOL


The FOOD TOWER!!! Its a MUST


Ready to Rumble. Well one of the 4 trucks is ready haha


Fede and his Girlfriend offered to drive me into Tokyo with them. Thanks heaps again for the lift guys and ill never forget the ride hahaha... what a laugh!!!


Welcome to Tokyo!!! Such an Awesome place, I was so damn excited


Fede's eyes took over his stomach for Dinner haha


He said he would eat the lot!!! Fairly sure he only had a few slices haha


Think this is what I got... Was nothing like the picture :(


Oh and look who turns up!!! None other then the Man himself!!! MaddddMike haha... I met Kawato-San for the first time here also and lets just say this trip brought a whole new meaning to Whiskey-time LOL.... What happens in Tokyo Stays in Tokyo haha...

Stay tuned for DAY 4 and the first day of the awesome D1GP event I have always dreamed about.... PUMMMMMMPED!!!!

Peace
