Yokomo Drift Meeting Round-107 in Shiga Event Report

On Sunday, April 14th, we held the Yokomo Drift Meeting Round-107 at MECCA in Shiga Prefecture. We had a truly large number of participants this year, and once again, many Kansai drifters gathered at MECCA. For this round, we were joined by RC-ART and ADDICTION as competitors, which helped to make the event even more exciting.

MECCA's customary all-night session on the eve of the event was a huge success. By the time the staff arrived on the morning of the event, the venue was already full, and many machines were already running on the track.

The layout was simple, starting with acceleration from a straight, followed by maintaining a wide outer line through the turn. However, because it was simple, finding the best attack points was difficult. Simply following the line wasn't enough to score high, leading to a high-difficulty judging process that demanded power and angle from the moment of initiation. Still, the level of the participants was high, with the qualifying border line for the RWD Expert Class reaching the 94-point range in a high-level competition.

Among them, the top qualifier was "Kirin," who posted a score in the 99-point range. With overwhelming consistency and angle, he earned a well-deserved TQ and carried that momentum through the tandem tournament to become the Round-107 champion.
