Nikko Circuit



Yes, I have arrived @ Nikko Circuit with 11K. I did some last-minute tweaks to the tires - white lettering.

Yeah, the car has been quite dirty when I got here. The dust and dirt water puddles weren't happy at all.



Actually I was nervous about "drifting" with Supra, because the car had enough power to slide, but it wasn't tweaked for drifting.

It was more like a "wangan racer" type setup, which could hurt the tires, suspension arms, rubbers and stuff.



I headed to the circuit, preparing all the stuff that was needed. I borrowed multi-point seatbelt from 11K, since he had several spare belts.



I was really nervous at the time, and the helmet was too tight for my big head.



I strolled around the circuit with slower pace to make sure every corners are safe. And I started to test the car's ability to slide.



...But it was too difficult to control such powerful engine with stock steering angles.

I am lucky that steering knuckles and arms are still in one piece. I could have towed my car to garage if it were broken or split into pieces.



I've tried drifting with S13 and S14 which had relatively lower power than Supra, but it was whole new experience.

Like this photobomb, I spun countless times, but actually it was fun as hell. I could feel my joy all over!



After several laps, Supra was covered with dust, fumes and rubber. Well it was kinda dirty in the first place.

I had to clean them off, and it took a lot of time. Luckily the car was still in one full piece.





I asked 11K to take a lap with me and he responded with a smile on his face.

Getting inside the Tourer felt much more like getting into a proper drift car.



... and boy he was really doing his job well! His skills were much better than mine, and the car's condition was really good thanks to MACKAY.



He was really edging the course, just like aho before! I was actually a bit terrified of his super-speed entry.



aho took the photo of me and 11K enjoying the course.



I am bit surprised that the new roll cage actually made the car feel better. Even I, the passenger could feel the difference.



We took a coffee break after several laps, and we headed to the track again to watch others do the lap.

Yes, I'm talking about you guys. 11K will show more photos of us!



Saleti - Sure thing. Maybe someday ;)
