This tournament was held as a regional "RWD Expert Class," and the finals utilized a tandem tournament (top 16 format) similar to the D1 class.
Two units of the DJS (Drift Judge System), the same used at the Tsukuba RC Arena, were implemented for judging, ensuring a system capable of precise evaluations for zones and clips.
The judging was handled by Sootome, a developer of Yokomo drift cars, while Yoshioka served as the MC.
In the qualifying round, Kai from Team Yokomo scored a perfect 100 points to take the top qualifying (TQ) spot.
Haruto, a support driver for Team ReveD, scored 98 points for 2nd place, and RYU, also from Team ReveD, ranked 3rd by a small margin.
The finals were held in a tournament format, where Kai advanced after a close battle with last year's runner-up, Dangan. In the championship decider, Kai faced 3rd-place qualifier RYU; Kai emerged victorious after an impressive battle.
In the third-place match, Naka faced off against Maruhashi, with Naka taking the win to secure 3rd place.
Additionally, thanks to the generosity of the RC SHOP MECCA store manager, a separate tandem tournament was held for those who unfortunately did not make the top 16 in the qualifying round.
It was a meaningful day where every participant was able to enjoy driving.
After the event concluded, an awards ceremony was held followed by our traditional raffle and rock-paper-scissors tournament, bringing the event to a highly successful close.
Thank you very much to everyone who participated.
