In a whirlwind adventure to the land of the rising sun, Larry Chen embarks on a drifting odyssey like no other. Surrounded by legends of the sport like Tanaguchi and Noan, Larry finds himself in the midst of a drifting renaissance in Japan. The aura of nostalgia and timelessness permeates the air as these iconic drifters continue to inspire a new generation, now known not just for their own skills but as the esteemed fathers of future drift kings.

The thrill of drifting in Japan is a revelation for Larry, as he immerses himself in the iconic liveries and adrenaline-fueled atmosphere of the Japanese drifting scene. From the roaring engines of the 180SX to the sleek curves of the Nissan Laurel, every moment on the track is a symphony of speed and skill. As Larry navigates the Moar Circuit, he feels the raw power of the cars beneath him, burning rubber and leaving a trail of excitement in his wake.

With each lap, Larry pushes the limits of his driving prowess, adapting to the nuances of turbo cars and honing his skills on the challenging track. The mix of cars at the event is a testament to the diversity and passion of the drifting community, from classic Sylvas to the formidable Skyline. Through it all, Larry remains grateful to Yokohama Tire and Vertex for their unwavering support, making his Japan drifting experience nothing short of legendary.
